While his inspectors have now been granted private access to a number of Iraqi scientists, one of their prime targets - the English-trained woman who used to run Saddam's lethal biological weapons programme - said that she will refuse to talk to them. In an exclusive interview to be broadcast on BBC1's Panorama at 10.30 tonight, Rihab Taha, who studied at the University of East Anglia and is known as "Dr Germ", said that she does not trust the inspectors. "It is a human right that if you don't want to speak to anyone, no one will oblige you or force you." Speaking of her work on biological weapons, Dr Taha added: "It is our right to have a capability to defend ourselves and to have something as a deterrent."

Dr. Joseph Mengele used words somewhat along these lines in his defense at Nuremburg. He hanged. So should she.

President Bush invited a select group of TV news anchors to a luncheon about a week ago, just before he gave his address to the nation. Tom Brokaw was one of them. A coincidence?? I'm inclined to think NOT.
