The SIS and CIA and NSA took me hostage for a while when they got overly excited about my Bomb Club, but after finding little evidence, [despite intense torture I refused to divulge any information], they had to give up. They had to catch a first class flight to Iraq because Helen Clark decided to send the SIS to help Hans Blix find Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. Even if they don't find weapons of mass destruction, the SIS guys will be able to spot for the USA Predators. The whole thing is a bit of a joke really. France has got weapons of mass destruction [and they were a terrorist state - leopards and spots], but the UN isn't getting their blood pressure up because of it. The dreaded Weapons of Mass Destruction are looking a bit like the Yeti, Abominable Snowman, Flying Saucers and Loch Ness Monster - much discussed, footprints and flattened corn fields seen, and blurry photos taken, but not a lot of evidence which a sentient being would consider the real thing. Like pornography compared with erotic art, we'd know it if we see it. So far, no deal! It's not surprising that those who are inclined to a cynical view of government power freaks are a bit circumspect about the great threat from Saddam, Uday and co. Uday wouldn't last five minutes without Saddam, who is obviously the brains of the family. The oil prices are still high and that's the main thing. King George II and his buddies just love high oil prices. Cutting a competitor off at the knees is a time-honoured practise for keeping business to oneself and maintaining high prices. Mqurice the cynic.
