Seeing Blix' actual comment shows how dishonest the reporting has been. It has been deliberately distorted. Exactly! I was listening on and off -- and heard Dick Durbin shooting off his mouth -- and was shocked to hear Blix's actual remarks. Nothing close to what the anchors were saying!

Blix made the point of saying that ...
1)Saddam is hiding scientists
2)They violated the sanctions ...by making missilies.
<3>They have a banned explosive.
4)Iraq has the ingredients to make a chemical weapon..

Yes. I heard the "no smoking gun" comment before seeing the entire statement and it was deliberately reported to be taken exactly oppositie as Blix used it.

That "smoking gun" phrase was a misstatement by Blix -- he should know better than to dangle such a participle in front of sophomores. But the blame is on those wannabee literary masters in the media who are failing to report the story accurately; also, those same media presenters will likely be reduced to incoherent stammering when the real story comes out via the more intelligent radio personalities: Rush, Bohannon, Laura, Savage, Beck, . . ..
