Be careful about taking my post out of context. The context of the original thread was narrow legalistic interpretations of the situation. In that context:

Bush claims that we have evidence of WMD in Iraq. If he's telling the truth, then the US is technically in material breach of UNSC 1441. Larry brings a unique perspective to questions of intelligence gathering, and he makes some good (hypothetical) arguments about why we may have a good reason for breaching the contract. What still bothers me is that out of all the myriad sources of intelligence we must have there, isn't there even one we could safely divulge?

Hans Blix this morning laid out a number of items indicating that Iraq is technically in material breach of UNSC 1441. No smoking gun that would (to mangle the metaphor) clear the air, though.

Still lots of smoke and haze in the forecast, I'm afraid.
