Give it time, major news sites who value their reputation and integrity will now check their facts carefully about this one. CNN has said three times this morning by three people that embedded NBCnews reporters state that there were no HMX and RDX in al Qaqaa when they got there.

fact : NBC Nightly News 10/25

An NBC News crew that accompanied U.S. soldiers who seized the Al-Qaqaa base three weeks into the war in Iraq reported that troops discovered significant stockpiles of bombs, but no sign of the missing HMX and RDX explosives.

It remains unclear, however, how extensively the U.S. forces searched the site in the immediate aftermath of the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein.

The State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said that coalition forces searched 32 bunkers and 87 other buildings at Al Qaqaa facility after the war, looking for weapons of mass destruction. He said the troops found none, but did see signs of looting.

Other than Fox, I haven't seen any tv news stop reporting the
original lie & offer a correction. In fact, they are still
playing Kerry's rants about Bush's incompetence.

And that includes CNBC.

And don't tell me they aren't aware the lie has been exposed.
