Inspector says Iraqis talking, will reveal weapons programs
David Kay, a former United Nations inspector who is joint head of the Iraq Survey Group, offered an unprecedentedly optimistic assessment of the hunt for weapons of mass destruction.
Although he called for patience, he predicted that doubters were in for a "surprise" by the time his work was done.[...]
Impression: David Kay is going to produce the hum-dinger report that will explode on the scene a few months from now and have all the second-guessers and day-after moaners going back over the record to see what they said and affirm how embarrassed they should be. In the run-up to the war, David Kay was on all talking-head shows as the ex-weapons inspector pushing the idea that Saddam had a weapons program and would never let it go. He's exactly the guy you want writing the report if you're the Bush administration.
