Former United Nations weapons inspector Hans Blix thinks he was bugged too, though he doesn’t have conclusive proof of it:
The United Nations spying row widened yesterday when its former weapons inspector, Hans Blix, told the Guardian he suspected both his UN office and his home in New York were bugged in the run-up to the Iraq war.
In an exclusive interview, Mr Blix said he expected to be bugged by the Iraqis, but to be spied upon by the US was a different matter. He described such behaviour as “disgusting”, adding: “It feels like an intrusion into your integrity in a situation when you are actually on the same side.”
If our intelligence had been keeping as close a tabs on what was going on in Iraq as we apparently kept on the U.N. people, things might be significantly better over there now.
