The inspectors did NOT state non-compliance. You are incorrect.

CBS) The chief U.N. weapons inspectors will tell the Security Council next week that there is a lot more work to be done in Iraq. Mohammed ElBaradei says answering remaining questions requires a more "intrusive" inspection process, but "we still believe a war is avoidable." ElBaradei says he and Blix will report to the Security Council next week that inspections are in "midcourse," and they have not yet completed their work. He says they still have work to do, including possible interviews of Iraqi scientists. Hans Blix says the scientists could be questioned on the island of Cyprus. Blix and ElBaradei spoke to reporters in Athens after two days of talks in Baghdad, where the Iraqis agreed to tell their scientists to submit to private interviews. The talks also produced a ten-point agreement to make inspections more effective. As CBS News Correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports, after weekend meetings with senior Iraqi officials, Chief U.N. inspector Blix announced they had made concessions. "We need to come to an effective and credible inspection process and we have come a long way on that," Blix said. The main points of the agreement are that Iraq will now support the inspectors' access to private sites like houses or farms. They will also encourage their scientists to hold private talks with the inspectors - without government supervision. The U.N. inspectors, by contrast, have said they were making progress in their searches, may require months more of time, and have referred to the report due next Monday as only an interim report. Some 16 chemical weapons warheads have been divulged by Iraq, a move taken by the inspectors as a sign of cooperation. cbsnews.com
