Translation: "There are Massenvernichtungswaffen (weapons of mass destruction) in Iraq."

That's a statement by CDU (German Christian Democratic Union)Foreign Expert Friedbert Pflueger here (English "translation" here):

The members of the foreign committee had been informed on 13 November 2002 by the Federal Information Service (Federal Intelligence Service [BND]) about the Iraqi weapon programs. As a delegate he can't pass on these "disturbing information", since he is bound to the professional secrecy. He can only say: "if we trust the BND, and I do, then we know that there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

There's more in this article: "Schroder's Team Not Telling Full Story on Iraq, Foes Say."

According to this article, Pflueger demands that the BND release their information.

This post was based on this article which Instapundit linked to, and which starts with: "Expurgated portions of Iraq's December 7 report to the UN Security Council show that German firms made up the bulk of suppliers for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs."

Somewhat unrelated, there's a transcript of a TV interview with Tony Blair here.
