Well, look who grew some cajones all of a sudden.
Per FoxNews.com...
Quote:Retiring chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix (search) lashed out Tuesday at "bastards" in the Bush administration who he said consistently undermined his efforts to find Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and "leaned on" his staff to tailor their reports.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper (search) of Britain published Wednesday, the lifetime Swedish civil servant stated, "There are bastards who spread things around, of course, who planted nasty things in the media," he continued. "Not that I cared very much."
In the weeks before the war, some U.S. officials strongly criticized Blix's reports to the U.N. Security Council (search) for failing to support the Bush administration's contention that Saddam had an active illegal weapons program.
"There are people in this administration who say they don't care if the U.N. sinks under the East River, and other crude things," he continued, adding that some in Washington viewed the international organization as an "alien power, even if it does hold considerable influence within it."
