In a recent interview, former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix discusses the challenges he faced searching for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. At 97, Blix remains mentally sharp and physically active, sharing insights on the political climate following 9/11. He recalls how the U.S. needed the narrative of Iraq's WMDs to justify military action, yet he maintained diligence in his investigations. Despite the lack of evidence he found, his findings were overshadowed by the U.S. narrative, highlighting the complexities of truth in political warfare.
At the age of 97, entirely lucid, still writing books and physically spry enough to be shown swimming in a Norwegian lake, former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix has given an extended interview to the Czech-born Swedish film-maker Greta Stocklassova about his life and times.
After 9/11, Blix found himself at the very centre of international pain and American dysfunction, with the US government grimly set on finding someone to lash out against.
