I noted on National Review Online (NRO) that they are now accepting that the drums might contain the HMX, or might not. Can't blame them for persistance, even though the bigger issue is about war planning, not just this one event. As "proof" that their might be a question about the material, NRO holds up the label on the drum "1.1D" as evidence: So - this orange 1.1 D is the label we would look for on HMX, RDX, or PETN. But did those explosives in these containers have 15 or 25 percent water or other dilution liquid in them? Or did they look pretty dry in that desert? The table in question is from GlobalSecurity.org, a useful site in general: globalsecurity.org NRO writer Jim Geraghty didn't look down the table far enough. Explosive label "1.1D" is also used to label plain, undiluted, DMX: 0484 Cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine, desensitized or Octogen, desensitized or HMX, desensitized 1.1D
