Powell Begins Presentation on Iraq's Efforts to Foil U.N.

Among the evidence the administration was considering declassifying were satellite photographs showing activity at inspection target sites shortly before inspections teams arrived, an administration official said. The photographs clearly show soldiers digging
holes, moving equipment or burying things, the official said. There are also shots of tractor-trailers, which American intelligence officials believe might be mobile weapons labs.

"There is a clear, concerted effort by Iraq to hide component parts, weapons sites and witnesses from the inspectors," another official said.

While President Saddam Hussein of Iraq insisted in Baghdad today that he has no prohibited weapons, Hans Blix, one of the United Nations' chief weapons inspectors, warned Iraq that it must cooperate immediately because it is "five minutes to midnight" in the countdown to war.

So, do the naysayers still believe that Saddam has been a good little dictator?

Here we go!

British and American forces planning war against Iraq have revealed details of their plans to topple Saddam Hussein, which will start with a devastating bombing campaign ahead of a massive ground attack by thousands of troops from Kuwait.

Defence and intelligence officials have told The Observer that they have drawn up a list of targets, including Saddam's home town of Tikrit, as well as key Ministries and properties owned by members of Saddam's family and senior Iraqi officials.

'The war will start with an extremely large bang,' said the official. 'You can expect Saddam's base of Tikrit to get a clobbering.'
