<<UPON THE FALL of the Saddam regime, two Iraqi scientists who had been employed by Iraq's NEA were interviewed by Al-Jazeera on April 27. They stated that immediately after the war, the facilities in the nuclear station in Al-Tuwaitha had been looted, including 200 barrels of yellow cake and uranium oxide. The looters emptied the barrels either in waterways or in their neighborhoods in order to use the barrels for domestic purposes. One of the scientists found one of the barrels being used to store tomatoes. Others were used to store water. On July 17, the Iraqi weekly Al-Khaled reported that a survey carried out by experts had detected contamination of land, water and agricultural produce in five areas surrounding the Al-Tuwaitha nuclear station.>>
I wonder why this important information has not been disseminated to the public. I will say one thing against the Bush administration, they are the worlds lousiest communicators to the public and the world in general. They better get Madison Avenue on the job both here at home, in Iraq, and throughout the world. They must immediately counter the steady barrage of lies and innuendos from the loonie left and their mouthpieces, the Asssociated Press, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, NPR, Reuters and others including the nine little Demodwarfs running for the Presidential nomination.
