Con Coughlin, author of this article, is a good guy; he also wrote the book "Saddam:King of Terror," which title gives you a pretty good idea where Coughlin stands on all this.

I hope this amounts to something almost as much as Blix is probably hoping it doesn't. I also hope that Saddam doesn't take revenge on these scientists and their families because the men brought documents home from the lab. Believe it or not, when a Iraqi decides to major in physics, he simply does not know that if he does well he is going to be forced to participate in nuclear weapons work.

Front page London Sunday newspaper stories are often sensational but do not pan out. Greatest likelihood is that Blix will manage to make this, and anything else found by his crew, sound trivial.
