No Mas:

Libyan strongman Moammar Kaddaffi (I prefer this spelling) has announced he will allow international inspectors, and will turn over all WMD.

While this is a good sign, it apparently comes about after what AP calls "secret negotiations with the United States and Britain". One hopes that Kaddaffi got no concessions in return that would militate against common sense.

It is likely that seeing Saddam Hussein's recent oral check up raised the scales from Kaddaffi's eyes and made his decision much easier.
