>All that really matters is that Blix's most recent statement is that Iraq's destruction of the Al Samoud 2s constitutes a "substantial measure of disarmament" while head inspector Mohammed ElBaradei told the council on Friday "In the past three weeks, possibly as a result of ever-increasing pressure by the international community, Iraq has been forthcoming in its cooperation."

Let's be a little more accurate about Blix's words:

While it's "obvious" that Iraq is making attempts to resolve some
longstanding disarmament issues, Blix stressed, "these cannot be said to constitute immediate cooperation."

Of course, this is what 1441 called for... immediate cooperation.

And what about this from the U.N.:

The report says there is "credible information" indicating that 21,000 liters of biological warfare agent, including some 10,000 liters of anthrax, was stored in bulk at locations around the country during the war and was never destroyed.

>For some reason, Blix's previous criticisms of Iraq seem to be preferred and these latest facts seem to be under- or even unreported, which should worry all of us.

Those aren't previous criticisms... they were from Friday.
