Weapons Inspector Hijinks!
The AP says:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A second known snag for U.N. weapons inspectors took place Thursday, when they were delayed getting into a military guest house north of Baghdad.

Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab satellite television channel, said the inspectors were kept out for 30 minutes because they had not given notice they would visit.
Jay Leno says:
A minor setback today for the UN inspectors: They had to wait two hours outside a locked door. These Iraqi officials, they're very smart. They go, 'We're wrapping presents. Don't come in yet. Hang on. We'll be ready in a minute. You don't want to ruin the surprise.'
