Atomic secrets: The man, who knew too much
Die Welt ^ | 7/8/06 | Bruno Schirra

When Chris Charlier arrived in Iran in April of this year, he was received the same way as had always been the case in each of over 20 visits to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

"Wherever we went, whatever we did, they always followed us, monitoring us with video cameras and capturing every single one of our conversations. Never letting us out of their sight for a second, watching everything over our shoulder."

"How the devil were we supposed to rationally do our work" comments the 64-year old Belgian.

For the first time a Viennese based inspector speaks openly and under his own name about the conditions under which UN inspectors try to bring to light the darkness surrounding the Iranian nuclear program.

The reason for his outspoken comments is because since April of this year he is for all practical purposes unemployed. Responsible for this is his Vienna based direct superior, Mohammad El-Baradei.

Lovely. When an inspector shows too much knowledge, too much intelligence, does not fit the Mr. Magoo profile of a UN inspector, he gets fired. It would seem El Baradei's job is to make sure his agency finds nothing.

Update: The Washington Post is now reporting on the story but leaving out many important details. Compare the reports.

US OUT OF THE UN

Like when the Soviet Union boycotted the UN when the vote was made in the Security Council to fight North Korea in 1950?

No thanks. I like being able to veto stuff when the world is against us...
