Yes I read all of it. The inspectors were recommending that the inspections process continue. They were the ones who had the authority to make that determination. They made it based on the fact that although Saddam's compliance wasn't the model of perfection, the progress that was being made was enough to render an invasion (at that time), unnecessary. An unnessary invasion is a heinous waste of human life. A point that you seem unable to appreciate. If the US decides to invade a country, killing tens of thousands of its civilians in the process, for reasons that are deemed unnecessary by the people in the field who were in a position to know, that is a criminal act, and certainly ranks right up there with some of the worst acts committed by Saddam himself.
