WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Colin L. Powell spent a significant part of his presentation to the United Nations this week describing a terrorist camp in northern Iraq where Al Qaeda affiliates are said to be training to carry out attacks with explosives and poisons.

But neither Powell nor other administration officials answered the question: What is the United States doing about it?

The lawmakers put new pressure on the Bush administration to explain its decision to leave the facility, which it has known about for months, unharmed.

"Why have we not taken it out?" Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) asked Powell during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing Thursday. "Why have we let it sit there if it's such a dangerous plant producing these toxins?"

Powell declined to answer, saying he could not discuss the matter in open session.

So Powell KNOWS where a terrorist camp is AND LETS IT STAY !@#?!

BUSH KNEW WHERE TERRORIST CAMP IS, BUT LETS IT STAY ???!#*!

god damned terrorists locations was known, and PNAC-Bush lets them
go about their 'business' ?

If THATS NOT GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF BUSH,
THEN ITS TIME TO INDICT BUSH ON WAR CRIMES.

1. Actually, the "camp" was a village...
... controlled by Ansar al-Islam in northwestern Iraq, near the Iranian border. In point of fact, it was heavily bombed at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, and Special Forces and CIA entered the village shortly thereafter, accompanied by many international news reporters.

Nothing indicating the stockpiling or production of chemical weapons was found.

Cheers.
