Weapons inspectors job is to openly do what spies do clandestinely. What would they do as "spies" except their job?

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.

Their job was to inspect and destroy WMD facilities. They began to also spy on Hussein and the government and military. No information was to leave the UN. Instead, the info was bypassing the UN and going directly to the U.S.

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.
