...Washington isn't the whole story. Blair is one of the few modern European politicians comfortable thinking of the world in moral terms. There's a strain of Victorian rectitude in him that explains why he's convinced of Saddam's venality. The soon-to-be-published British dossier on Saddam's behavior, say two sources who have read it, will stress the Iraqi leader's brutality--his use of torture, the fact that he killed perhaps 100,000 Kurds (some of them with chemical weapons) to maintain his rule...

From Washington, requests were sent to authorities in Paris for background details on the suspect.
