One of the most striking unstated conclustions from Powell's speech was that the inspectors have been compromised. The Iraqis knew where the inspectors were headed days before they arrived.
Of course, this limits our ability to share our intelligence about weapon locations.
This is one of the clearest arguments against further inspections. I wish Powell had stated this fact more explicitly, but perhaps he didn't want to shame and directly accuse the inspectors of collaborating with Iraq.

Because if a person still has a functioning neuron, they do not need Powell spell it out for them. To blow the covers off this sham, all one has to do is ask, "If the UN WMD inspections in Iraq were planned in secret by the UN inspectors, how did the Iraqis know where the inspectors were going next?"
Those who still think that the UN is not collaborating with Saddam need their drool cup changed.
