UN Inspection Agency Critical of Kay Report

A Western diplomat at the IAEA said the Kay report was "written in a way that is contrary to the way IAEA inspectors work."

"It's largely a set of statements and testimony from individual Iraqis which seem to be speculative in that there does not appear to be supporting evidence," the diplomat said.

"There are a lot of 'coulds' and 'may' and 'might haves.' But the IAEA works on the basis of what it can verify," the diplomat said.

He said the IAEA was anxious to see the findings on which the report was based.
