Re: the artillery shell filled with nerve gas found in Iraq this morning; some anticipated responses follow.

*****

1. "That the shell was found in Iraq doesn't mean anything in terms of the WMD hunt; certainly, an outside group must have brought it into Iraq from another location..."

2. "That shell must have planted by the U. S. military/C.I.A./Mossad..."

3. "Finding one shell doesn't prove anything," or (a variant), "Is finding one shell worth what we have wreaked so far?"

4. "What do you expect, given the recent emergence of Abu Gharib 'torture' photos?"

5. "It's just luck that we ran into that shell and not, as the Bush Administration might have had it, any real knowledge or intelligence that WMDs were present in Iraq."

6. A variety of convoluted logic, viz: "Finding that shell in Iraq shows that we aren't in danger of terror attacks; it was found over there, and not on our soil."
