Iraqi Nuclear Site Is Found Looted
EFL - It doesn't sound right, but hey, it's from the Wash Post
A specially trained Defense Department team, dispatched after a month of official indecision to survey a major Iraqi radioactive waste repository, today found the site heavily looted and said it was impossible to tell whether nuclear materials were missing.
A month of indecision? Does anybody buy this? Apparently the WaPost does...
The discovery at the Baghdad Nuclear Research Facility was the second since the end of the war in which a known nuclear cache was plundered extensively enough that authorities could not rule out the possibility that deadly materials had been stolen. The survey, conducted by a U.S. Special Forces detachment and eight nuclear experts from a Pentagon office called the Direct Support Team, appeared to offer fresh evidence that the war has dispersed the country's most dangerous technologies beyond anyone's knowledge or control.
Notice any radiation sickness patients at the hospital?
"LeGume! Have your men round up everyone they find with gill slits!"
"Yes, Inspector!"
In all, seven sites associated with Iraq's nuclear program have been visited by the Pentagon's "special nuclear programs" teams since the war ended last month. None was found to be intact, though it remains unclear what materials -- if any -- had been removed.
I'm finding it very hard to believe we haven't found anything. Starting to buy into Den Beste's argument we have, and are, for various valid reasons, holding that info back
