#1 That last paragraph is yet another bald-faced lie from the press. Bush's claim was based on British intelligence, that the Brits (last I heard) still stood behind. There were forged documents, but they weren't the only evidence.

#2 So, how many tons have been smuggled out in "scrap metal" containers? It's not like someone put the stuff in there to use as a doorstop. Nice how the iaea poo-poos the whole thing - "i wouldn't hype it too much". Oh yeah? Time to take a good hard look at the jordanian 'scrap metal' industry.

#3 Wow this IAEA spokeswomen must be really out of touch to say "I wouldn't hype it up to much",who's she think she's fooling.More to the point what is the IAEA's crap adgenda all about when it keeps constantly trying to play down nuclear threats from countries and groups all around the world,are they just stupid or they some sort of loony left 'peace group'?

#6 Jon, the IAEA is largely staffed and run by third-world nationals from nations with extensive nuclear programs. Which do you think is their primary goal: putting an end to proliferation, or covering up their homelands' misdeeds?
