NBC reporter says ‘No move to secure the weapons’

(seems to contradict your assertion that NBC says "they were gone"). The Al Qa-Qaa facility is huge. Soliders on a "pit stop" most certainly did not search it.

There wasn’t a search,” she said. “The mission that the brigade had was to get to Baghdad. That was more of a pit stop there for us. And, you know, the searching, I mean certainly some of the soldiers headed off on their own, looked through the bunkers just to look at the vast amount of ordnance lying around.

“But as far as we could tell, there was no move to secure the weapons, nothing to keep looters away.”
