Once the war begins, the U.S. will scour Iraq's towns, skies and highways for signs of preparation for an unconventional attack. Any movement of forces to warehouses suspected of containing weapons of mass destruction will be promptly attacked.

"When they're hiding it, you need someone to come forward and tell you where it is," says General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The inspectors have 1,000-odd known sites to scour, and the 23 experts on the ground have so far managed to visit two dozen. To carry out more than one inspection at a time, they need additional manpower: 35 more inspectors are to start working this week, and 100 are supposed to be in Iraq by year...
