A difference of opinion. Wonder why? The capture of Saddam Hussein could finally lead to the discovery of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Tony Blair said last night. Asked if Saddam might reveal details of his weapons programme, the Prime Minister replied: "There's obviously that possibility there but I think in any event we have got to carry on doing the work we are doing. "The Iraq Survey Group has already found massive evidence of a huge system of clandestine laboratories, workings by scientists, plans to develop long-range ballistic missiles. Frankly, these things weren't being developed unless they were developed for a purpose." ... from news.independent.co.uk and Former U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix on Tuesday expressed doubt that the United States could obtain any new information about weapons of mass destruction from former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. In an interview with Fox News, Blix recalled that Saddam said just before the Iraq war that Iraq used to have weapons of mass destruction but no longer possessed them, as U.N. inspectors had found out. "He will repeat what he said before," Blix said. "They had had weapons of mass destruction but there weren't any longer. There aren't weapons of mass destruction and time will bear me out. "So there is nothing inconsistent," Blix said. Blix said the capture of the former Iraqi leader is "a great victory" and said he thinks the Iraqi people can no longer see the former government as an alternative to the U.S.-led occupation forces and the Iraqi Governing Council. He also said he is "absolutely" against the death penalty and expressed his support for U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's statement that the United Nations will not participate in a war crimes tribunal for Saddam if the possibility of the death penalty exists. "The civilized international community should behave in a different manner from what the uncivilized people do," Blix said. (Kyodo News) japantoday.com JMO lurqer
