Or perhaps the defector was coerced, or was lying, or was mistaken. Perhaps.

No; on the defector's information, which was given to UNSCOM, program was uncovered and those aspects of it were destroyed (the defector, the son-in-law, was then coaxed to return to Iraq where he was shot by Saddam).

The point is, they DID have an active Nuke-you-lar program, IAEA was saying just what they're saying today (i.e., we find no evidence of such a program), then after receiving info from the defector it turns out they were quite close to having a weapon.

Thus my statement, on defector is worth more than a bunch of inspectors.
