The following is an excerpt:

WASHINGTON -" Despite President Bush's predictions of unity on Iraq,
members of Congress voiced sharply divergent views today on military
action to remove Saddam Hussein from power.

Two Democratic congressmen, speaking from Baghdad, said Iraqi
officials have assured them that they will allow weapons inspectors
unfettered access. The lawmakers accused Bush of wrongly pushing
the United States toward war.

"They said they would allow us to go look anywhere we wanted," said
Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., on ABC's "This Week."

"Let the U.N. inspectors do their job," added Rep. David Bonior,
D-Mich.
He said that Iraqi officials told them that they would allow
"unrestricted, unfettered" access, though they do want "their
sovereignty respected."
