Just because you try to not let them in and interfere with them once they do come in doesn't mean you have anything to hide. You are just trying to maintain your sovereignty over your own household.

Then again, if you had signed a piece of paper that said you lawfully had to let them into your house, and then refused them entry, I would say its a little suspicious.
I think at this point it seems that Saddam wanted a weapons program, even believed that he had a weapons program, but his scientists were giving him the run-around and they really hadn't come up with much. Either that, or they were moved out, or they're still buried somewhere. I think Saddam and the rest of the world were fooled into thinking they're program was much further along than it was. Only a handfull of scientists may have known what their capabilities actually were.
