IRAQ is using pirated copies of German equipment to process nuclear material in an assembly line that
will regularly produce nuclear weapons,
The amount of uranium it already has conservatively estimated in a German intelligence report at ten
tonnes of natural uranium and 1.3 tonnes of low-enriched uranium is enough for three nuclear
weapons, Dr Hamza said.
Before their expulsion, the inspectors dismantled an illegally imported German centrifuge installation
The key was provided, he said, when the German Karl Schaab smuggled in the centrifuge in 1989 and
later helped Iraq to build a second. We videoed as it was put up, so we could build identical ones. Then
he also provided 130 classified documents and charts detailing every aspect of the construction. When the
inspectors took away the original centrifuge, we already had the know-how. I believe there are probably
hundreds of copies today,
I believe the Germans are up to their necks in all this.

Which makes the German government's opposition to our impending military capaign unacceptable. It's time to embarrass the Germans publicly for this outrage.

I believe the Germans are up to their necks in all this. Explaining Schroder's whole "pay no attention to the man behind the centrifuge" act.

Does this perhaps explain the German reluctance: Fear of exposure?
