Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2003—Hans Blix: Inspections working:
The most interesting part of the presentation, as far as I can tell (and this is all still from the early press reports), is Blix's arguments that Powell is full of shit.
Blix also said that the satellite photographs of a declared site Powell presented to the council last week could have shown routine activity, rather than the movement of illicit materials.
He also said that screening on chemical and biological samples taken from suspected sights has been consistent with Iraq's declaration.

Ouch. Powell is not having a good week.

Going to see SELMA tonight. I'm in a defiant mood. Bob Simon, RIP, reminded us the Edmund Pettus Bridge is named after a leader of the KKK.
