#3 From sonic's link: "The IAEA probed the Al-Tuwaitha site 12 times over the last four months ...IAEA investigators said they would be 'surprised, but not necessarily shocked' if Coalition scientists uncovered illegal atomic weapons production at Al-Tuwaitha."

So much for the IAEA inspections. F@#king weasels.

#4 After touring the facility, Geraldo Rivera said, "This place even more intigueing than Al Capones Vault."

#5 Perhaps the Iraqis in the last few weeks tried to rush making a nuclear weapon, leading to the current high levels of radioactivity.

I know that if I were Saddam I would have been bashing some heads together to obtain nuclear weapons.

Bashing some heads together ... that's an unfortunate phrase.

#6 Plutonium is created by neutron bombardment of Uranium inside a reactor. The Pu is later chemically separated, leaving behind lots of irradiated U and fission byproducts, generally highly radioactive.

Plutonium itself, while extremely poisonous, isn't all that radioactive.

#7 you cant rush to making Plutonium. building the facility to make it (or highly enriched Uranium) takes awhile - they were supposed to be at least a year away, and facility would have to be big and probably unhideable - so theyve been doing this for awhile, and have done amazing things undergeound (unless they bought it on the black market?????)

This is VERY big if true - bigger than chem or bio finds - so I will wait patiently for confirmation.
