a few highlights From a Today Show interview as reported by the New York Times Online

"Mr. Blix said the Americans and British depended too much on defectors and exercised too little critical judgment in assessing their information. "The C.I.A. certainly is very used to debriefing defectors, so they must have had a critical mind," he said, "but they also knew what they wanted to hear at the top."

They wanted to come to the conclusion that there were weapons," he said. "Like the former days of the witch hunt, they are convinced that they exist, and if you see a black cat, well, that's evidence of the witch."
~Hans Blix, former chief United Nations weapons inspector
