Blix's objectivity

Like I've been saying, Blix's whole purpose in life rests on his ability to keep the inspections going. He loses his job as well as his position of prominence if he's too forthright about how Iraq hasn't been forthcoming. I've questioned his objectivity all along, and this looks like it further calls it into question.

Update: I just listened to an interview on Fox News with the London Times reporter who broke this story, and he made a very good point that's worth repeating. Blix doesn't want to feel he's responsible for starting a war, so he's been doing everything he can to downplay Saddam's non-compliance. This may just be the most extreme example.

More on this omission, it's such a shame Mr Blix doesn't use the same clear words that were in 1441.
