It looks more and more likely that the Iraqi scientists put together a deception program of their own, to convince Hussein that they had weapons in some cases when they actually didn't.

This would explain why the scientists acted like they did in UN interviews, why they had an active program in place to deceive the UN inspectors, why the country acted like it was armed even when it wasn't.

I remain unconvinced by people who claim they understood all the issues and knew there were no WMDs before this point in time. If a country believes it is a threat and acts like it is a threat, it has to be dealt with.
