Even Faux News reported on the Explosives
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 03:43 PM by DrWho
Peabody said troops found thousands of 2-inch by 5-inch boxes, each containing three vials of white powder, together with documents written in Arabic that dealt with how to engage in chemical warfare.

The facility had been identified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as a suspected chemical, biological and nuclear weapons site. U.N. inspectors visited the plant at least a dozen times, including as recently as Feb. 18.

The facility is part of a larger complex known as the Latifiyah Explosives and Ammunition Plant al Qa Qaa..

2. And yet they're just sure
those weapons were gone when the troops got there. They have no shame.

Thanks for posting this.

4. The absolutely incredible, mind shattering,
you-would-have-to-see-it-in-writing for yourself to believe it, is that the UN inspectors put these explosives in this one facility al Qua Qua, so they would know where it all was.

Because it was so dangerous.

3. fox spent the entire evening tearing down the story, even going so
far as to invite bremer on for his "take". You can imagine how fair and balanced the coverage was/ will be.

5. photos of SEAL - no looting when we took control - from KSTP TV




Seals used by the IAEA (top). A seal on an Iraqi bunker door videotaped by a 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew on April 18, 2003 (bottom).

OK but which they had said more about this "seal" image that they posted to their web site.



BREAKING from KSTP (photos of IAEA seals)

http://kstp.com/article/stories/S3741.html?cat=1

A 5 Eyewitness News crew in Iraq may have been just a door away from materials that could be used to detonate nuclear weapons. The evidence is in videotape shot by Reporter Dean Staley and Photographer Joe Caffrey at or near the Al Qaqaa munitions facility.

The video shows a cable locking a door shut. That cable is connected by a copper colored seal.

A spokesperson for the International Atomic Energy Agency told 5 Eyewitness News that seal appears to be one used by their inspectors. "In Iraq they were used when there was a concern that this could have a, what we call, dual use purpose, that there could be a nuclear weapons application."
