As Dr. Blix reported, Saddam's regime did <strong>not</strong> let the inspectors in, not in any meaningful way. Form over substance. If, at this late date, you and Krguman want to take Saddam's side, and claim that the inspectors were meaningfully and substantively "let in," that's your choice, but it's a lie. Anonymous,
