Iraqi Official: U.S. Will Lie About Arms
2003-02-02
Iraq said Sunday that Secretary of State Colin Powell will likely present fabricated evidence when he presents the U.S. case against Saddam Hussein to the U.N. Security Council this week. Maj. Gen. Hossam Mohammed Amin, Iraq's chief liaison officer with the U.N. teams, promised to show a "willingness to cooperate" in the talks with Blix and ElBaradei and to enter negotiations, presumably over inspectors' complaints. With the United States building up troops in the Persian Gulf region for possible war, Powell addresses the Security Council on Wednesday to present Washington's case that Saddam's regime is still hiding weapons on mass destruction and has links to terrorism. "I think they will be fabricated, space photos, aerial photos, to some details to some thing that could be interpreted in different ways just to create suspicions," Amin said of Powell's testimony. "They will not be real evidences because we have no weapons of mass destruction, no proscribed activities."
"Lies! All lies!"

#1  Slightly off-topic, the Security Council session Wednesday is supposed to be available to TV. Anyone know where?
