The press isists on repeating this fallacy. Unless Saddam meant that while their "return" is unconditional, what they do while in Iraq IS contitional. aking a page from Clinton's playbook, no doubt.
In fact, Iraq's offer was NEVER unconditional. Now they're trying to spin the case that any requests by the US are "new conditions". But the original UN mandate was for unconditional inspections, the details of which were to be worked out by the UN.
