Saddam's $2m Offer

Telegraph --Saddam's $2m offer to WMD inspector
Well we are reintroduced to the whole "Iraq had WMD question" -- if Saddam is/was lily white and did not have WMD(s) why the Bribe?
"Saddam Hussein's regime offered a $2 million (£1.4 million) bribe to the United Nations' chief weapons inspector to doctor his reports on the search for weapons of mass destruction.

Rolf Ekeus, the Swede who led the UN's efforts to track down the weapons from 1991 to 1997, said that the offer came from Tariq Aziz, Saddam's foreign minister and deputy."
