'Sanctions Worked'; The world's atomic watchdog, vindicated in Iraq, confronts the new nuclear landscape.(Mohamed ElBaradei, International Atomic Energy Agency)(Interview)
Byline: Lally Weymouth
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been shouldered aside by the Bush administration in Iraq and Libya and kicked out of North Korea by Kim Jong Il. Yet now even Washington admits that Saddam didn't have an active nuclear program, and with the contours of a global black market in nuclear technology coming to light, the agency may soon resume its central role in the fight against nuclear proliferation. In an interview with NEWSWEEK's Lally Weymouth, IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei discussed the challenges ahead. Excerpts:
NEWSWEEK: What conclusion do you draw from the fact that Iraq does not seem to have had a sophisticated nuclear program?
ELBARADEI: I think the sanctions worked, and more importantly, the inspections worked. A combination of sanctions and inspections managed to disarm Iraq.
Do you feel vindicated?
I feel relieved.
If he didn't have weapons of mass destruction, why didn't Saddam come clean?
