From Butler's own book:

" Butler recalls: I received a telephone call from US Ambassador Peter Burleigh inviting me for a private conversation at the US mission... Burleigh informed me that on instructions from Washington it would be 'prudent to take measures to ensure the safety and security of UNSCOM staff presently in Iraq.'... I told him that I would act on this advice and remove my staff from Iraq. Butler's order to withdraw is made without the permission of the UN Security Council.

That may be true, but it does not dispute what I said. Their access to sites of interest had already been blocked by Iraqi Republican Guard troops.

Is that a good book by the way? Sounds interesting. Does say anything about that sh*it sack Scott Ritter?
