Look, A New WMD Fall Guy!

Not to be outdone by the US or Great Britain, the UN has submitted its own candidate for WMD info blame: Rolf Ekeus. Snippet:

In the wake of the first Iraq war it was UNSCOM chief Ekeus, exuding disinterested integrity as only a Swede can, who insisted that Saddam Hussein was surely pressing forward with the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction. It was Ekeus who played a pivotal role in justifying the continued imposition of sanctions, on the grounds that these sanctions were essential as a means of applying pressure to the tyrant in Baghdad.
