Blix Interview
BBC News (as seen on BBC America) -- June 6, 2003

Newsreader: The controversy over western intelligence on Iraq has deepened. Now the UN's chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has cast doubt over the quality of US intelligence he received about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction before the war. Mr. Blix told the BBC that his team followed up British and American leads at a large number of suspected weapons sites only to find nothing when they got there. But the US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld has again insisted that American intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass desctruction has been good.

Blix: Only in three of those cases did we find anything at all. And in none of these cases were there any weapons of mass destruction. And that shook me a bit, I must say. I was impressed by that. Because we had been told that they would give us the best intelligence that they had. So I thought, my god, if this is the best intelligence they have, and we find nothing, what about the rest?
