Each side of the question regarding war with Iraq feels that the other side chooses to ignore facts that they believe supports their position.

The following revelation is referred to as a "smoking gun" and in my opinion it is. How do our anti-war friends see this? I assume they either feel that it is insignificant or they believe it is a natural product of the inspection process which should be continued with no set limit.

Was it proper for Blix to bury this finding in the text of his report and not mention it in his oral remarks?

Blix 'hid smoking gun' from Britain and US

BRITAIN and the United States will today press the chief UN weapons inspector to admit that he has found a “smoking gun” in Iraq. Such an admission could persuade swing voters on the Security Council to back the March 17 ultimatum.

Unlike the outlawed Al-Samoud 2 missile, which was declared as a purportedly legal weapon, the drone was not declared. It would be the first undeclared weapons programme found by the UN and is considered by British and US officials to be a “smoking gun”.
