Blix said it, and he says he said it. He just didn't think it would be printed.

Was he referring to members of the U.S. Government? Or one of the many other "bastards" in Washington? (The town is known to have its share.) The world may never know.

Blix was intentionally vague about who the "bastards" were. He's not a career diplomat for nuthin'!
That's the great thing about being intentionally vague :-)
