Uh-oh Re: #4....This from the IEAE web site - 9/15/2002

Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions Relating to Iraq For nearly four years,the Agency has not been in a position to implement its mandate in Iraq under United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 and related resolutions. Since December 1998 when our inspectors left Iraq, we have no additional information that can be directly linked without inspection to Iraq's nuclear activities. I should emphasize that it is only through resumption of inspections that the Agency can draw any conclusion or provide any assurance regarding Iraq's compliance with its obligations under these resolutions. In May and July of this year, I participated in two rounds of talks between the United Nations Secretary General and Iraq. I do hope that Iraq will be in a position soon to accept the return of inspectors and that the resumption of inspections will take place without delay. This is clearly in the interests of both the international community and Iraq itself. The Agency remains prepared to resume its verification activities in Iraq under the relevant Security Council resolutions at short notice.

What else is not accurate with this ? So much for the premise.

Agh.......It's IEAE=IAEA...and they do have OTHER inspections, called safeguard inspections, verifying stocks of nuclear material ALREADY sealed under IAEA safeguards. The safeguarded material is low- enriched, natural, and depleted uranium.
