"I compared my access to recent itelligence to his....which he has not had since '98 when he said that Saddam had WMD. No, I do not expect that David Kay or any of the other inspectors illegally shared any classified intelligence with him after he lost his clearance. Especially since he was working on a highly paid project that benefitted Saddam."

Clearly his documentary project was not highly paid -- again, requires reading -- and it didn't really beneift Saddam, did it?

Shared info between present and former weapons inspectors? I can practically *guarantee* that it happened. They were all there for the same reason: to discover something that turned out not to be there. Kay, Blix, et. al. no doubt once ate 'highly nutritious' cashews grown in Iraq. Does that make them suspect, too?

By the way, the full "intelligence" of every department of the U.S. has been available to operatives in Iraq for over a year now. And it has proven... what?

Ritter claimed a very small amount of toxic materials were 'possibly' in Iraq. Nowhere did he -- or anyone else with a shred of credibility -- claim Saddam posessed anything that was a threat to the U.S.
