By the way, the situation in respect of war is not that of a court room. In any event, the burden was on Saddam to prove compliance, as it had to be, just as one must document deductions during an audit.

The problem is that the whole exercise of inspections was futile. We had, for example, signal intelligence showing Iraqi officers discussing moving things around to deceive the inspectors, and we had evidence of security breaches within the inspection team. It was just as likely that the greater cooperation Blix got at the very end was due to having ensured that the relevant stockpiles were deep underground.
