Jan. 16th - 12 empty chem warheads found. Jan. 30, overheard:

"After you have carried out what was contained in the message, destroy the message."

They expected us not to listen in?

Not rare expections but policy and pattern. Hi level committe to monitor inspectors. Not to cooperate but spy and prevent inspector from doing their jobs.

Might have been scrambled in a way we were able to reverse. Might have been sent over a line the Iraqis thought we would not be able to intercept.

They expected us not to listen in?

No. These people work for a thug. An ambitious, dangerous thug, but a thug, nonetheless. As such, their operational security must be comparable to that of a Mob Family at an Italian Social Club gathering.

If Bin Laden were running Iraq, he wouldn't make these mistakes. Fortunately, Binnie is dead.

Be Seeing You,
