    Gee whiz, this alone is enough to convince me that the Blix report is less than convincing:

    [The] Iraqi newspaper Babel - which is run by President Saddam Hussein's son Uday - says the reports by the weapons inspectors were "fair".

    Not to mention:

    The dossier details the weapons of mass destruction Iraq may still possess:
    • Up to 10,000 litres of anthrax
    • Scud missile warheads fitted with deadly biological and chemical agents
    • Pilot-less aircraft, or "drones", that intelligence reports say far exceed the 150 kilometre (93 mile) limit allowed by the UN

    As OTB pointed out this morning, the lack of mention of the drones in Blix's oral presentation is something of a signifincant omission.
