#1 The Vienna-based IAEA helped dismantle Iraq's clandestine nuclear programme in the 1990s — during Heinonen's three decades there.

Clandestini nuclear programme? Was the evil Hiterbush right after all? Was conflict justified? Was Saddam actually attempting to acquire the bomb? I am so confused.

#2 The IAEA forgets our geniuses in the EPA and OSHA have a zero tolerance standard for radiation contamination. Any twitch of the Geiger counter requires a clean up, even the most low-grade nuke material would, under those rules, require a massive and expensive cleanup...

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Of course, the clandestine program didn't fit the narrative on the left so they are hoping the gradual trickling out of information that proves Iraq had WMD will pass right by and people will not notice...much like the "insecticide" that permanently disabled the squad of Marines.

#3 For a moment I was concerned but now that the IAEA has said the risk is insignificant I can relax.
