It did not take long before I began to have respect for him and his knowledge and integrity. I found he added a very important dimension to the argument for ending the sanctions in that as long as the sanctions were in place, there would be no inspections. Since then, while I do disagree with him on some things, I find his general knowledge and understanding of Iraq is exceptional, and while we see things from a different perspective, for the most part we are both headed in the same direction.

Scott and I talked about that briefly afterward because that was the first thing that struck me when I heard about the NIE. There is no real evidence at all that they have ever had a nuclear weapons program.
