Today, using satellite pictures and intercepted conversations between Iraqi Red Guards, Colin Powell presented America-s case before the UN Security Council.

The Secretary of State told the Council it must act against violations of its resolutions or become an irrelevant institution. We hear more about Powell-s presentation and get initial reaction to it from a former UN weapons inspector, an expert from the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence at St. Andrews University, and a journalist from Le Monde.
