Paraphrased from John Pilger, "Three Big Lies About Iraq," July 30, 2002:

Rolf Ekeus, former UN weapons inspector chair, is on record that the inspectors certified 817 of 819 Iraqi long-range missiles were destroyed.

A 1999 UN Security Council panel noted Iraq's main biological weapons facilities "have been destroyed and rendered harmless." The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iraq's nuclear weapons programme had been eliminated "efficiently and effectively". The IAEA inspectors continued to travel to Iraq and are on record that Iraq's in full compliance.

Blair and Bush never mention this. Nor do they remind the public that the UN inspectors were never expelled by the Iraqis, but withdrawn only after it was revealed they had been infiltrated by US intelligence.

Meanwhile, here's C-Span's transcript when Scott Ritter was guest:
