| Blix Book Tour Coming Soon! |
| 2003-06-12 |
| Hey, I predicted as much yesterday. UNITED NATIONS — Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said he might write a book about his search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. You just know that this will be late night joke fodder about the world's thinnest book. Blix, who is retiring on June 30, said he has been approached by several interested publishers. Perchance was one of them Hillary's publisher? ``I think documentation is important, and certainly getting the history straight is important,'' he told The Associated Press this week. His story, however is NOT history. Blix said the Bush administration criticized him but applied no pressure as his teams searched for banned weapons. On Wednesday, London's Guardian newspaper had quoted Blix as saying, ``I have my detractors in Washington. There are bastards who spread things around, of course, who planted nasty things in the media.'' Asked Wednesday whether he used the word to refer to the Bush administration, Blix replied: ``No, no, absolutely not. I was talking about private individuals.'' Nice sleight-of-hand there Hans. Assistant Editor Brian McDermott at The Guardian said in an interview late Wednesday, ``Blix hasn't come back to us to contradict what we've published. We absolutely stand by what our reporter has written.'' |

| #2 Actually, the book will be a co-operative effort between Hans, Kofi and Jacques. The working title is "Three Blind Mice". |

| #1 If the book deal falls through, ol' Hans hopes to be offered a job with Major League Baseball, looking for cork in Sammy Sosa's other 76 bats. |
