More on David Kay's background with "stretching"
David Kay's September surprise
Will the head of the administration's WMD search team in Iraq deliver a
weapon of mass deception?

n an interview with PBS' Frontline, Kay said: "Once
you were dealing in a clandestine, competitive
environment, you needed access to satellite
photography, access to signals intercept, access
to measurements of leakage and contamination
from the programs, so you could identify where it
is. Access to defectors, who, after all, were not
defecting to the U.N. They were defecting to
national governments to use them.

"So, from the very beginning, you needed that
expertise; but I can say for myself personally --
and I'm really only comfortable talking about myself
-- although a number of us discussed this in the
early days, I realize it was always a bargain with
the Devil -- spies spying. The longer it continued,
the more the intelligence agencies would, often for
very legitimate reasons, decide that they had to
use the access they got through cooperation with
UNSCOM to carry out their missions."
