Classified US Report on Iraq Sought by UN

Inspector Urges Paper's Release

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 3 -- The U.N.'s top nuclear weapons inspector Monday called on the United States to provide his agency with a copy of a classified American report on Iraq's banned weapons and to allow his inspectors to return to Iraq.

"If there are weapons, we would like to find ; if there are no weapons, we would like to conclude the issue," Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview. "They owe us the classified version."

ElBaradei said the United States, like all U.N. member states, is obliged under the terms of Security Council resolutions to provide his agency with information that advances its knowledge of Iraq's past nuclear ambitions. But he said the United States has yet to respond to a request he made last month for a copy of the classified version of a report by David Kay, the head of the Iraq Survey Group, that indicated there was no new evidence Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear weapons program before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

U.N. weapons inspectors -- who have a mandate to verify the elimination of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction -- left Iraq before the invasion. The United States has not permitted them to return, except for a brief June visit by IAEA inspectors to the uranium storage facility at Tuwaitha.

Now lets see.I picked these links up from other threads. The U.N. wants the classified U.S. WMD report. Germany is questioning the legality of the war, and Tony Blair is under investigation for illegally waging war. I suspect something is brewing.War crimes trial perhaps. :tinfoilhat:

Tony Blair is facing a formal complaint to the international war-crimes tribunal by a panel of senior international legal experts for unlawfully waging war in Iraq.
The panel of eight law professors, including experts from Oxford University and the London School of Economics, is studying evidence that alleges Britain has broken international treaties on war and human rights in Iraq.snip
