#1 I agree. A terrific idea!

And the number 500 is pretty liberal: its 500 SCIENTISTS, not 500 scientists and family members. Most of these people would be fluent in English or some other foreign language, and wouldn't take long to hit the ground running here in the good ol' U.S. of A.

One of my suspicions is that some of these guys may have deliberately drug their feet building the WMD, either by creating obstacles or maybe citing other difficulties and roadblocks, hoping to buy time for the cavalry to arrive.

#2 What do you know, old Joe Biden put up a good one. I like this one as well. Does it extend to family members who come along with the scientist?

But on a darker note: how many scientists are going to be disappeared in the next couple of weeks? Want to bet that Kofi wouldn't consider such a thing to be a material breach?

#3 "But on a darker note: how many scientists are going to be disappeared in the next couple of weeks?"

Dead scientists do not work on WMD, at least not very well. So either way, Saddam loses key scientists for his program.
