Yes he did...and the rumors at the time was that one of the inspectors in his group was being blatantly blackmailed on child molestation/porn issues.
I appreciate the mention. Up thread you’ll note he was having problems in those areas.
I gave it some thought later, and I remember his saying Hussein had them. The next thing I knew, he was in Baghdad singing another tune.
At the time we all here were wondering what the payoff was.
It was a blatant 180.
He was being a spokesman for Hussein at one point, at least it seemed like it. I never trusted the guy.
Other inspectors were saying they were sure Hussein had WMDs because he wouldn’t cooperate with the inspectors.
