GST, On the nuclear issue try looking at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (which is hardly a Republican or Neocon source): bullatomsci.org In particular notice the article: thebulletin.org Iraqi defectors, including weapons scientists and military officials, have been a key source of information for weapons inspectors over the years. In 1994, the nuclear scientist Khidir Hamza escaped, eventually revealing to the world how Saddam Hussein had systematically hoodwinked the International Atomic Energy Agency. A year later, Gen. Hussein Kamel, the former head of the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Military Industrialization, fled to Jordan. He revealed that in the spring of 1991, Iraq had decided to embark on a crash program to build a single nuclear weapon. Kamel's defection prompted Iraq to release a massive cache of documents, which according to Albright and Kelley ("Has Iraq Come Clean at Last?") showed that if Iraq had not invaded Kuwait, "thus touching off retaliatory measures, Iraq's long-range nuclear weapons program might have produced enough highly enriched uranium by 1996 for a small nuclear arsenal."
