Scoop Link: Time Magazine reports: Saddam was asked whether Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. “No, of course not,” he replied, according to the
official, “the U.S. dreamed them up itself to have a reason to go to war with us.” The interrogator continued along this
line, said the official, asking: “if you had no weapons of mass destruction then why not let the U.N. inspectors into
your facilities?” Saddam’s reply: “We didn’t want them to go into the presidential areas and intrude on our privacy.”
