"Officials said the interior ministers plan to explore ways to end Islamic propaganda for the recruitment of insurgents and planning of attacks. The plan would also cover sermons given in mosques during after Friday prayers as well as Islamic fundamentalist literature distributed in and around mosques. "

csmonitor: Inspectors, US part ways on Iraq

""It took us 4 1/2 years against a concealment mechanism to find the hard evidence of an offensive biological weapons program," says Terry Taylor, a British senior UN weapons inspector from 1993 to 1997. "The Iraqis have learned a lot from that process, and are more adept than they were at hiding things from the inspectors.""

Also, about the intelligence they're (not) receiving from the US/UK. I'd guess the real intelligence is so scant but well placed that it's more likely to be a top placed exec saying, "yeah, we got stuff but no fucker knows where it's hidden. Nobody alive."

As they're definitely hiding the stuff, why? They're willing to use some terrible stuff to keep Sadam alive for as long as possible.
