London, March 12: Former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has said that the US administration acted like a witch hunter while making out a case to attack Iraq and the British Government replaced "question marks with exclamation marks" in intelligence dossiers.

"They wanted to see anything as evidence that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction," Blix said in an interview broadcast by Britain's Sky News today. snip

"I do think they exercised spin. They put exclamation marks instead of question marks," Blix said.

No weapons of mass destruction were found after the war, according to Lord Butler's 2004 official inquiry into intelligence on Iraq.
