Russians hid from UN inspectors in Iraq
More and more information is coming out on the extent of Russian perfidy in aiding Saddam's WMD programs. Ray Robison posts documents showing Russians hid from UB inspectors on supposedly surprise inspections. Ray makes the following interesting comment:
Note this [translated document] is [written] within four months of the start of the war and "poor Saddam" (who the AP reported as frustrated because he was so honest about having no weapons) has Russian experts hiding from U.N. teams. Nice job AP, that is some cutting edge reporting. How is it a clown like me and a dedicated volunteer linguist can find this stuff and the media can't?
