That is just a PERFECT example of very biased propaganda!! Glad you found it so we could use it as an example to take apart, bit by bit.

>>It appears that the U.N. was well aware of the nuclear waste stored at the Al-Tuwaitha site<< Upstream on the thread is an article quoting Dr. Hamza, a defector who worked on Saddam's nuclear program, who said that he had never seen the things which were described, and a former UN weapons inspector who said the same thing. Here's Hamza: >>Yesterday, Hamza expressed great surprise that the underground site could even exist. The ground there is muddy and composed of clay, he said. The water table is barely a foot and a half below the surface of the ground. During construction of one of the former nuclear reactors there, French engineers spent a fortune pumping water from the foundation area, only to see buildings crumble when the water was removed. Hamza said the French built a reactor at Al-Tuwaitha that Israel destroyed in 1981. The Russians built a reactor that was destroyed during the Gulf War. Both had the muddy ground to contend with. So the Marine's discovery makes the former atomic inspector wonder if the Iraqis went to the colossal expense of pumping enough water to build the underground city because no reasonable inspector would think anything might be built underground there. Nobody would expect it,? Hamza said. ?Nobody would think twice about going back there.? << pittsburghlive.com Here's the IAEA inspector: >>"They went through that site multiple times, but did they go underground? I never heard anything about that," said physicist David Albright, a former IAEA Action Team inspector in Iraq from 1992 to 1997. Officials at the IAEA could not be reached for comment. << pittsburghlive.com
