You want proof? Powell's got pics Secretary plans to bring satellite photos of mobile, bio-weapons labs to U.N. today -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 5, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Joseph Farah © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Colin Powell will today present the United Nations with satellite photographs of mobile, biological weapons laboratories and transcripts of overheard Iraqi conversations in an effort to persuade other nations that diplomacy has run its course. Sources in Washington said Powell's evidence will include details of a transfer of technology from other countries and the relocation of weapons systems within Iraq. His public presentation this morning at 10:30 a.m. Eastern will be the latest attempt by the U.S. to enlist support – or, at least reduce objections – from France, China, Russia and other governments still protesting any use of force against Iraq. The Bush administration also promises Powell will flesh out U.S. claims that Saddam Hussein is harboring and aiding terror groups linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network. The presentation to the U.N. is said to be a multimedia show including video, slides and audiotapes of intelligence intercepts. When Powell appears before the Security Council, he will be accompanied by CIA Director George Tenet, who will sit behind him. Twelve foreign ministers will be present for the meeting in the most anticipated live television presentation there since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. U.N. officials say there will be more television feeds than usual, with one camera dedicated to Powell and another for his presentation items. Powell's speech is expected to last about 90 minutes. Among the evidence, U.S. officials say, Powell will play audiotapes of intercepted conversations in which Iraqis talk about concealing evidence from inspectors and coaching scientists on how to answer questions. They say Powell also will present satellite photographs of material being moved from sites in Iraq just prior to visits by U.N. inspectors and intelligence detailing Iraqi imports of banned weapons materials. Officials said Powell's highly technical and elaborate presentation will include approximately 30 slides, several audiotape intercepts and satellite photographs. They said the bulk of the presentation will focus on weapons of mass destruction, with a "healthy" portion devoted to terrorism links and a smaller portion dedicated to Iraq's human rights record.
