CIA Picks New Iraq Weapons Inspector

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The top U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq is stepping down 
from the position and will be succeeded by a veteran of weapons inspections 
during Saddam Hussein's regime, CIA Director George Tenet announced Friday.

David Kay, who has led the search since the fall of Saddam's regime, is 
``stepping down,'' according to a CIA statement. He will be replaced by Charles 
Duelfer.

``David is a model private citizen who willingly lent his unique expertise to 
his government in a time of need,'' Tenet said in a statement. ``At a time 
when our WMD (weapons of mass destruction) hunt efforts were just beginning, 
David provided a critical strategic framework that enabled the ISG (Iraq Survey 
Group) to focus the hunt for information on Saddam's WMD programs.''

The group has been stymied for months in its search for clear evidence of 
chemical, biological and nuclear weapons in Iraq, one of the Bush 
administration's main justifications for the invasion.
