Iraq Largely Cooperating with Inspectors, UN Security Council Hears
"Chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix said Iraq has largely cooperated with arms experts, in a report to the UN Security Council that could determine whether the world body backs military action against Baghdad... As appeals mounted worldwide for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he expected the Security Council to give weapons inspectors more time to complete their work in Iraq."

This French report is in stark contrast to a virtual propaganda barrage in the English speaking press, which regards the Inspectors Report as a virtual casus belli. Even public broadcasters ABC and SBS in Australia were overwhelmed by the war propaganda. The Report found no WMDs, it found the nuclear program was not restarted, and asked for more time to continue the work. The absurdity of launching a war of mass death and destruction over weapons which either do not exist or if they do exist are no threat to either the United States or even neigbouring countries was not mentioned in yesterday's propaganda.
