Mr. ElBaradei noted that both agencies have not been able to carry out interviews in private, and that did not indicate the proactive cooperation they expected from Iraq. "I made it clear that if Iraq is willing to show cooperation, we should be allowed to do private interviews inside Iraq," he said. "We are also of the view that should we identify people who we would like to interview out of Iraq we will exercise that right."
