Does it really matter what Naji Sabri said and what the French Intelligence services thought when there were UN inspectors on the ground in Iraq? And when every time they followed a lead provided by Iraqi "defectors" they couldn't even find a trace of what was alleged to have been there with their ultra-sensitive scientific instruments?
But that was precisely the problem with UNMOVIC. They were all facts and no heart. The decider knew in his heart that he was right and the scientific instruments were wrong. He looked into Chalabi's eyes and he knew that he was telling the truth. Luckily the media was going through its "patriotism sells" phase and didn't ask any obvious but embarrassing questions.
