Talk: Hans Blix
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
I removed:
- claim Iraq has, with Blix as the chief weapons inspector. Although Iraq claims it got rid of all its weapons of mass destruction, Blix's team reported in early December 2002 that they found mustard gas in a shed whose door was blocked by heavy equipment.

I'm not sure but shouldn't it be *those". I couldn't find the actual quote though.
"I have my detractors in Washington. There are s who spread things around, of course, who planted things in the media."
From the article:
- "While head of the IAEA in the 1980's, Blix made repeated inspection visits to Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor before its destruction by the Israeli Air Force. Despite the regular inspections of Iraq's research facilities, Blix and the IAEA never discovered a highly advanced nuclear weapons program in Iraq. In fact Iraq was repeatedly praised by the IAEA for its full cooperation with the IAEA. It was only after the first Gulf War that the full extent of Iraq's nuclear programs were known."
I'm not saying this is wrong -- it may well be right -- but it's a large portion of a short article, it's politically loaded, and it's unsourced, all of which lead me to be suspicious. Does anyone have any documentation for this? -- Jmabel 21:49, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Ask the Mossad, after all Israel bombed it.--Tomtom 06:54, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Although the person who added the thing about the OCGC didn't add a reference as requested, the info appears true - that's the lead release right now on their website (sorry, they don't seem to have permalinks). Infact, Blix seems to be the ONLY such advisor. It's questionable if this is really that worthy of a mention in Wikipedia, however. - Dave
