How to extend your 15 minutes of fame.

Former chief United Nations weapons inspector Mr Hans Blix said today he suspected the United States bugged his office and home in the run-up to the Iraq war, but had no hard evidence.

Funny, every time he speaks his words get dumber and dumber.

Describing such behaviour as ?disgusting?, Mr Blix told Britain?s Guardian newspaper in an interview: ?It feels like an intrusion into your integrity in a situation when you are actually on the same side.?

Excuse me, but I think he would be hard pressed to find anyone who agrees that he was on the same side as anyone (except maybe Saddam Hussein and the French).

Mr Blix said his suspicions were raised when he had trouble with a telephone connection at home.

That statement is too funny. Like anyone in the United States as not had trouble with a telephone connection. If his statement actually had any merit, then we could believe that we all have been bugged at some point…

?It might have been something trivial or it might have been something installed somewhere, I don?t know,? he said. The Swede said he asked UN counter-surveillance teams to check his office and home for listening devices.

Of course, they found nothing… So there was nothing… So his words mean nothing…

??If you had something sensitive to talk about you would go out into the restaurant or out into the streets,? said Mr Blix.

This sounds like a classic case of paranoia, not espionage.
