MARGARET WARNER: But do you think it's possible that even if Saddam Hussein appeared to cooperate fully and the inspectors felt they had done everything they could, that Iraq could continue to, could fool them?

ROLF EKEUS: I don't think Iraq could fool them in the long run. But the problem is that Iraq can keep production capability, which is impossible to understand. It can be a production line, which is laid out for production say of pesticides, rat poison, insecticide, but which quite easily can be reconfigured if the inspectors are out, to produce nerve agent, or blister agent of sorts for chemical weapons use. And the same goes obviously in the biological field. So it is, it will work, but only if they are allowed to take their time. And I'm not quite sure that the political scenario is organized so that we have time.
