America's Evidence
(Economist-UK) The next test for Iraq will come with a return visit to Baghdad this weekend by Hans Blix, the chief UN inspector, and Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The inspectors have been seeking concessions which include allowing interviews to be held with Iraqi scientists in the absence of government minders and letting American spy planes carry out surveillance flights. Next week, the inspectors will report back to the Security Council. That meeting, scheduled for February 14th, will probably be Saddam's last opportunity to show that he is coming clean.
