Larry, here's another quote from you, this time from The Economist (14/12/02). It's also pretty clear and unequivocal in its language. This is from an article on p. 40, called "Lethal poker":
"This partly explains why America, controversially, arranged for the circulating copy of the dossier [that Iraq prepared] (the other copy stays with the UN monitoring mission) to be taken straight to Washington rather than distributed to all 15 Security Council members. The American authorities then copied the documents for the other four permanent members, who agreed that the ten rotating members of the council would receive expurgated versions." Pretty clear: the US abrogated to itself the right to look at the documents first, even before the other 4 permanent members of the Security Council, let alone the full SC. You can refuse to discuss it if you wish, but I don't see how you can insist on being right in face of such clear facts. -- Marc A.
