No, sorry, don't buy it. We do not have an obligation to turn over
intelligence to the UN if that intelligence is going to be immediately
leaked to the Iraqis and if, further, doing so is going to compromise the
sources (remember what that means in intelligence-speak... the sources get
killed)

This is laughable. Really. WE are FLAGRANTLY disregarding the resolution?
You've got to be kidding me.
They're inspectors, not detectives. The obligation is on the *Iraqis* to
come clean, to open up, to PROVE they've disarmed. NOT on the inspectors to
prove they didn't. It so happens that this proves, again, the Iraqis didn't.
Just like Blix's report proved the Iraqis didn't. (and umpteen before them too)
Apparently the US needs to rub the world's nose in it over and over before
certain apologists admit the truth. The UN is worthless. The leadership of
France and Germany are apparently also worthless. This just proves it yet again.
