US officials will want to ensure the accuracy of the communiqué before using it to persuade sceptical members on the UN Security Council that it is reason not to trust Iraq over its apparent compliance with weapons inspectors.

Nonsense. There is no way to prove the authencity of something like this. Those who wish to dismiss it will do so. Only the deaths of tens of thousands will persuade the ideological doubters that there is any threat at all.

We will have to make our own assessment of this, and proceed accordingly. It does not matter what a bunch of perfumed princes at the UN think about it.
