I can well imagine them clearing the area of enemy combatants; I can't imagine them spending the time to thoroughly investigate 1,000 buildings in this massive facility when they are "passing through" and not under orders to look for WMD but under orders to advance to Iraq. No doubt there is some truth in all the stories coming out. And I freely admit that its entirely possible that the materials were moved between the start of the war and this date in April. That doesn't really matter, does it? The real issue is that its missing and no one knows where it is. You'd think that any facility tagged by the IAEA as being related to Nuclear WMD programs of the past would at least have special surveillance on it. Powell was quite ready with satellite pictures to argue his case in front of the UN; where are all our intel assets in protecting these specific materials -- directly related to the primary reason Bush gave for going in? The issue doesn't pass the sniff test.
