No experts or authorities from anywhere have show anything reputing the purpose of the biotrucks.

Before being found in Iraq, the information about the trailers came from...
Prewar Iraqi Mobile Program Sources

The majority of our information on Iraq's mobile program was obtained from a chemical engineer that managed one of the plants. Three other sources, however, corroborated information related to the mobile BW project.

* The second source was a civil engineer who reported on the existence of at least one truck-transportable facility in December 2000 at the Karbala ammunition depot.

* The third source reported in 2002 that Iraq had manufactured mobile systems for the production of single-cell protein on trailers and railcars but admitted that they could be used for BW agent production.

* The fourth source, a defector from the Iraq Intelligence Service, reported that Baghdad manufactured mobile facilities that we assess could be used for the research of BW agents, vice production.

The Brits intel on the nukes was not based solely on the docs you mentioned AND they continue to stand by the story.....

The aluminum tubes were dual use items, forbidden to be posssessed by Iraq for ANY purpose....

Experts disagree over the biotrucks but the CIA has concluded their use was intended as bioweapons facilities....this is an allegation backed up by Terence Taylor, a former UN weapons inspector who was in iraq from 1991-1998.
