Blix excerpts:

>>>The former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix today rubbished the government's argument that war in Iraq was legalised by existing security council resolutions.<<<

>>>"It's the security council that is party to the ceasefire, not the UK and US individually, and therefore it is the council that has the ownership of the ceasefire, in my interpretation." <<<

>>>He has also accused George Bush and Tony Blair of behaving like salesmen who "exaggerated" intelligence in an attempt to win support for war. He said the British prime minister and US president, while not acting in bad faith, were too preoccupied with spin.<<<

>>>[Blix said] the US had used "shaky" intelligence to make its case and tried to discredit his team when he challenged American claims on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.<<<
