Don't you get it yet? The "accidental" discosure of documents that could "prove" that Saddam was only a year away from a nuclear device. Hmmm...that couldn't be a last minute ploy by the Rove machine to help the administration justify the invasion of Iraq, now could it? We need "journalists" with just a little more savvy than demonstrated here. Please!!

I honestly expected a completely different angle from you. It would have been very easy to beat the hypocrisy drum on this one, comparing their willingness to release Iraqi nuclear documents while keeping decades old intel budgets secret. Breaking down the source and the relative value to would be proliferators really gives a whole new light to the issue I hadn't considered. Mr. Aftergood,

What worries me is the transport procedure. How will it be shipped securely? If the enriched uranium is to be used to make medical radioisotopes, I suppose the use is justified.
