IRAQ ADMITS IT'S ON THE BRINK OF CREATING NUKES By VINCENT MORRIS December 9, 2002 -- A top adviser to Saddam Hussein admitted yesterday that Iraq is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons. "We have the complete documentation, from design to all the other things," Lt. Gen. Amir al-Saadi told reporters in Baghdad. "We haven't reached the final assembly of a bomb nor tested it." Details of the nuclear program are included in Iraq's 12,000-page declaration to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Saadi said. He insisted that despite knowing how to build a nuke, Iraq has not done so. Saadi said the report, mandated by the U.N. Security Council, proved Iraq has no nuclear weapons - nor any other weapons of mass destruction. He said the report also includes sensitive information about how other countries helped Iraq with programs to create weapons of mass destruction. If it's released, he said, it will "embarrass" some countries and companies.
*****Unless it gets sanitized by the "W" Administration first!! That IS the reason they wanted the entire report, right?? ****
