    Are other news organizations reporting this? I heard a different story, on NPR, about a few rockets found at the airport that contained either a nerve agent or mustard gas. I haven't found anything else at major web sites. One would think that this would be making headlines. Jason Henderson wrote: ... and no its not a CIA plant.

Since, by definition, I'm right and they're wrong, any criticism of my opinions can only reinforce my position. Your comment brought to mind the image of a small group of unpopular protesters (burning the flag, against the war, KKK, whatever) who are reveling in the insults being hurled at them by a far larger group of counter protesters.

                      I don't see why your post was voted down, but sadly, with the recent "correction" of news, I would wait a few days until counting on it. btw. I never believed he was "clean" - He's got a few nasties left - even if this one's fake. (Though I doubt it can be found) I wonder why didn't he use them? Were they "misplaced" and not found, or did enough people (Saddam and his generals) have enough common sense not to use it?

                              Yup. Of course, that possibility was noted in the MSNBC report: But sarin is also used in low levels in pesticides, which were found at the camp, so it is not clear if the facility is a nerve agent site or merely an agricultural facility. http://www.msnbc.com/news/895392.asp[^] Now, we'll see if this turns out to be anything: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=CJK3HZAM200ZMCRBAE0CFFA?type=topNews&storyID=2521303[^] Too bad the AFP report didn't mention that sarin is used in low levels in some pesticides (which explains the fact that it tested positive for sarin). ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.

                                      Not to say that Saddam does not have Sarin, but this particular instance was a hoax. IMO, the media should wait for confirmation for proper authorities before spreading speculation. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=1514&e=3&u=/afp/20030407/wl_mideast_afp/iraq_war_wmd_030407175243[^] and Rumsfeld today specifically said that this was NOT a Pentagon approved news, and a credible verification will need a few days.

                                        A newer Reuters story has a different spin http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=578&e=2&cid=578&u=/nm/20030407/ts_nm/iraq_usa_cache_dc[^] Sounds like maybe AFP jumped the gun on their story as well. Mike Mullikin :beer:

This sounds like the Us-vs.-Them thinking of any minority group. Since, by definition, I'm right and they're wrong, any criticism of my opinions can only reinforce my position. Your comment brought to mind the image of a small group of unpopular protesters (burning the flag, against the war, KKK, whatever) who are reveling in the insults being hurled at them by a far larger group of counter protesters.

                                          Perhaps. But I pride myself on being a contrarian. By definition, the opinions of a contrarian must be unpopular. I purposefully seek out ways to frame arguments in such a way that agreement from any quarter will be minimal. Its just more fun... "My job is to protect America" George W. Bush.
