Fears of Nuclear Looting in Iraq

Sources at the International Atomic Energy Agency tell NewsMax.com that a report on the extent of looting from Iraq's main nuclear center at Tuwaitha is being forwarded to the U.N. Security Council today.

The coalition last month allowed a small group of IAEA inspectors to examine the site and assess its condition.

Within the center, tons of highly toxic nuclear waste were stored.

The White House has feared that some of the material, which is ideal for a so-called dirty bomb, might have found its way onto the black market through looters.

...have found its way onto the black market through looters.

Wasn't Big Media all torn up about a few stolen museum artifacts?

...America's Friend of HILLARY TV Media was stridently reporting that it was many 1,000's of Iraqi Museum Artifacts that were looted while we liberated Bagdhad.

...It turns out it was only 1,00's and it was an inside job done by Iraqi Museum employees themselves.

...Most Aritfacts have been returned.
