Saddam Hussein will, naturally, seize upon any excuse to discredit the UN inspection team currently in his country. It's in his interest to do so -- I think that's quite clear. He has in the past accused the former team (rightly, as it turns out) of including people who were not true inspectors, but spies, or at least inspectors who would pass on non-inspection-related intelligence to western militaries. It looks like someone -- no one seems to know who -- just couldn't resist the temptation. A former USMC and Secret Service agent named Harvey "Jack" McGeorge, has been shown to have no inspection credentials. Not only that, but his personal "hobbies" are tailor-made to be forged into a lightning rod for Saddam Hussein. How could they be so stupid? This team has to be not only above-board, but has to avoid the appearance of having spies in its midst, or it risks allowing Saddam to yank the moral carpet (such as it is) out from under the U.S.
Here's a link to the article in the Washington Post. I'm posting this to Zion-L and Eyring-L and to an acquaintance on LDS-Poll (I no longer participate there in an attempt to cut down my Internet time because I need more bedrest these days). So I have to point out to Zionisti that this fellow's, er, hobby, consists of subjects the discussion of which are very much against the charter of Zion-L. Please don't go to this post if you're squeamish in that regard. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55682-2002Nov29.html -- Marc A.
