"We're not building the means to respond well," says Stephen Flynn, a homeland-security expert at the Council on Foreign Relations.

After meeting last weekend with officials in Baghdad, Blix extracted a promise that scientists would be 'encouraged' to participate in interviews - but most are still resisting because they fear being executed in the future, when the world is no longer watching. UNMOVIC has to cope with diplomacy issues as well: Baghdad refused to allow UN surveillance planes in its airspace demanding first that America halt its "illegal" intrusions (the "no-fly" zone patrols) during the UN missions.
