llst document titled "kellv 22.5.03"1

transformed week before publication to make it sexier

the classic was the 45 mins most things trm dossier' were double source but that was
single-source. one source said it took 45 minutes to set up a missile
assembly, that was misinterpreted . .

most people in intelligene e weren't happy with it, because it didn't reflect the
considered view they were putting forward

campbell

real info but unreliable, included against our wishes

not m original draft - dull, he asked if anything else could go m

uranium from Africa -not nuke expert but was very suspect, documents certainly
forgeries,

10-15 years ago there was a lot of information, with the concealment and-deception operation
there was far less information

it was small because you don't conceal a large programme, and because it was
actually quite hard to-import things . the sanctions were effective, they did
limit programme
no usable weapons
in one of the january- - chemical reactors not destroyed by unscom, glass lined
chamber to promote ch emical reactions - were being used again by the Iraqis,
recovered, taken
at al mutahaima, not properly destroyed by un, recovered by Iraqis, taken to
falluj ah, and used for no-banned purposes

the 18 chemical missiles were reported by bltx, but downplayed. blix thought
they were leftovers

t think it 30percent likely that iraq had active chemical w eapons programme in the
6 months to a year
likelier that there was biological weapons

not much coming out of detainees, despite financial mcentives . .they are
in qurte good conditions
in middle east

there has been proliferation -not m terms ofpeople walking across the Iraqi
border with 20 shells, but supply chain knowledge, - plans

irac survey group headed by a major general, below him 2 one starts, bntish and
australian

we don't have a great deal ofknowledge than we had before

1500 - 100 bnts, 10-20 aussies - not all experts, about 20 ofthe brits are

it is a big handicap not to be able to draw on the eMertise of russian and german et-experts

12"d document titled "kellv cont"1

real debate as to whether the mobile labs are what they appear to be - it is
an odd piece of kit, feeling is it could be made into a fermenter, but is it a
fermenter

enormous qual of documents to be explouted

saadi and taha were taken out of the problem-because they interfaced
with the un

we've got 10-20 in custody

why didn't they use them? in the early stages, you just have to look at the weather conditions,
by the end the c23 was in total disarray .

his programme was small -he couldn't have killed very many people, even if everything had
gone right for him - not really mass destruction in true meaning of word

british 1-star is john deverell, kelly will be semor brit inspector
