- ____ "[Have they] come clean at last?"

I'm hard-put to specify what it is he could do with credibility at this stage that would alter the outcome. He's always had the option of coming clean, of complying with the resolution, of giving up all of his weapons of mass destruction, ..."
- ____ "I do feel that there's still reason to believe that he is hiding and has not come totally clean. ... And I am anticipating a unanimous view that we've got to keep our eyes wide open and not be lulled by some letter or some very belated offering ...."
