| 2002-12-28 |
| IslamOnline & News Agencies An Iraqi scientist interviewed by U.N. arms inspectors on Friday, December 27, refuted claims he told them that his work was in any way linked to the development of a nuclear weapons program that has been banned by the United Nations and accused them of being capable of "fabricating inventions". "Lies! All lies! I said nossing! No-o-o-ossing! Tell them, Hogan!" "I have no links with nuclear program," scientist Kadhum Jameel told Iraqi television network al-Shebab by telephone in comments broadcast live. "Please don't kill me, boss!" After an interview with Jameel, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) spokesman Hiro Ueki claimed the Iraqi scientist had provided the inspectors with details of a military program that could be linked to a clandestine nuclear program. In his daily statement on the inspections underway in Iraq, Ueki alleged Jameel, whom he described as "a metallurgist from a high-visibility state company", had "provided technical details of a military program". "No, I didn't! I was talking about... ummm... something else!" |

| #3 Blix: "What happened again after you interviewed him?" Underling: "He had some sort of traffic accident. Apparently his car ran into a T-72 tank and was crushed." Blix: "Anyone else hurt?" Underling: "Apparently the same tank rolled on and crushed another car containing this scientist's family. They were all killed too." Blix: "Are T-72's on our list?" Underling: "No, boss." Blix: "Well then, send a reminder to the inspection team, and tell them to be careful in the traffic circles!" |

| #2 If this scientist or his family is bumped off, what are the chances that it'll make the news? Anyone care to give odds? |

| #1 that'll be his last live broadcast. Hope his family doesn't suffer too much, but he's a dead man walking. Nice of the IAEA to show so much concern....guess how much cooperation we'll get from the rest of the interviews?...right |
