Your assertion that inspection and spying are the same falls flat on its face (as all of your arguments), since the U.S. vigorously denied these charges when they first appeared. If there was no distinction, there would have been no denial. So if an American spokesman makes a silly statement as has happened many times, it is proof that the opposite of the American claim is true. No information was to leave the UN. Instead, the info was bypassing the UN and going directly to the U.S. I don't think the UN was trying to keep anything secret. Nor was there any obligation to keep Iraq's WMD capability a secret. They couldn't anyway. How could UN held information possibly be kept secret from the US. We're on the security council. Some of the inspectors were American. Note also that these materials aren't easy to acquire. The reason Saddam had such excellent stockpiles of WMD in 1991 was because the U.S. had been supplying him for the past decade. I am glad we stopped selling him anthrax. Me too. The way we once sold small quantities of anthrax for test purposes to anyone who wanted it was insane. You appear to be saying Saddam has used WMD we've given him. When and where? Where for example has Saddam used anthrax as a weapon?
