Oh I see. Mr. Kay went public with those statements after
meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill discussing
essentially what was reported in those articles & quite a
bit more I'm sure. And somehow when he doesn't deliver as
you have so confidently predicted (and noted how common
this deception process is by this Administration); You,
democratic politicians & every liberal media outlet on this
globe won't be repeating his every word & using those
quotes to denounce the Bush Administration all the way to
the elections?????

Oh ya Jacob. You sure got it spot on this time. NOT!

Iraqi Scientists Helping, CIA Adviser Says

Team Is Finding New Sites in Search for Weapons of Mass Destruction

Some Iraqi scientists are cooperating in the hunt for Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, including leading searchers to sensitive sites, according to the CIA's adviser on the search.

"We are gaining the cooperation, the active cooperation, of Iraqis who were involved in that program," David Kay told reporters yesterday, between appearances before two Senate committees in closed session. Describing the activities of the Iraq Survey Group, which he helps direct, he said: "We are, as we speak, involved in sensitive exploitation of sites that we are being led to by Iraqis."

Kay said "solid evidence" is being produced, but he indicated that it would not be made public "until we have full confidence it is solid proof of what we're to talk about." He also emphasized that he had been working for only six weeks and in that time had been "concentrating initially on the biological [weapons programs] and the role of the intelligence and security services."

Kay took issue with a report in yesterday's Washington Post that quoted administration sources as saying the Iraq Survey Group had essentially suspended site examinations while it was analyzing documents. Kay said that the team is visiting new sites and that "almost every one of them is one that we did not know about until we were led to it by Iraqis or the documentation we have seized.".....

..... Concerned that past piecemeal findings have been challenged and even withdrawn, Kay told reporters that he is looking for "multiple Iraqis willing to talk and explain the program . . . documentary evidence . . . and physical evidence associated with a program." He said it will take time to assemble evidence that will stand international scrutiny.

He also said he had found new evidence on how Iraq misled U.N. inspectors and hid material from them. Before they were withdrawn in 1998, inspectors focused on Iraq's deception operation, and they made discussion of it a central part of their final report. Kay said yesterday that interviews with Iraqis who took part showed how "truly amazing [they were] once you get inside it.".....
