Funny, Mr. Ritter testified before Congress that Iraq retained the ability to build a bomb. By his own testimony, Iraq needs only the fissile material, and within days they could have a functional bomb.

Critical elements of the Iraqi bomb program have never been recovered, which are known to exist because, as in one case, they were observed by IAEA inspectors being smuggled out the back gate while inspectors were held up at the front

Saddam has publicly, on camera, exhorted his nuclear scientists to redouble their "efforts." It is apparent they are possibly attempting to revive their domestic centrifuge program.

Either Mr. Ritter was falsifying his testimony before Congress and to US intelligence services, or "truthout" is misrepresenting Mr. Ritter.

The ambiguity of the status of Iraq's nuclear program is good enough for me. Send in the Marines.
