The Bush administration will need to make up for its losses. "My sense is that the decision to re-equip the Iraq Survey Group with a new leader is a good one. It's an improvement over David Kay. His style in arms control is hardware. He was looking for stuff."His replacement, Charles Duelfer, "is the right person too late." Mr. Duelfer, he believes, will look for "software," or knowledge about the whereabouts of WMD programs from scientists, engineers, and documentation.
Important post. Ekeus appears to agree with your assessment of Kay, re: "hardware" as opposed to "software".
