Analysts taken from team
Kay is said to want out because he feels he no longer has adequate resources to do the job. Under pressure from the military, the administration's took a quarter of Kay's intelligence analysts and security forces and redeployed them to the counterinsurgency effort.

Kay has been on the job for seven months. He has so far found no stockpiles of biological or chemical weapons and no ongoing nuclear program. His last interim report found some evidence on missiles, including a previously unknown attempt by Iraq to buy missiles from North Korea for which Saddam Hussein spent 10 million dollars without getting the missiles.

Kay's team has concluded that Saddam did not have stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons ... but CIA officials in Washington still believe something may be found.
