I thought so.... but I still wonder where Iraq got that much yellowcake? It was there pre-invasion...supposedly sealed. Of course, we hear from the Left that there wasn't anything in Iraq...no nuclear items at all.... yeah. riiiight. While US military radiological experts have surveyed some areas, the United Nations and activist organizations are expressing concern that Iraq's occupiers are, if not deliberately minimizing the risks, limiting their ability to independently examine the impact. "We have expressed our concern loudly ... as we heard about the looting, and our awareness of the tons and tons of nuclear material at Tuwaitha," says Melissa Fleming, spokeswoman of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN-chartered nuclear watchdog in Vienna. The US military permitted an IAEA survey team to make an accounting of Iraq's previously declared nuclear material in May, in keeping with the IAEA's mandate. But the US severely restricted IAEA movements in Iraq, and "did not take us up on our offer" to examine local contamination, or security of radioactive sources, Ms. Fleming says.
