Maybe this was destined for some other wannabe? Iran?

The article is up on the Washington Post. Drudge's headline was misleading, this wasn't a "seizure" of uranium en-route somewhere for some nefarious purpose.

It was uranium SITTING in an old Soviet-built reactor. We and the Russians came by and picked it up with the full cooperation of the Bulgarians. Something we've done before and not quite the shocking big deal this thread has made it out to be.

U.S. authorities have begun stepping up such joint operations with the Russians. In August 2002, a team from the two countries retrieved 100 pounds of weapons-grade uranium from an aging reactor in Yugoslavia. The second seizure of uranium took place three months ago, when 30 pounds was removed from a facility in Romania.

Yep. You're right. And it isn't the first time nor will it be the last time this is done.

Thanks John H K. Just as I thought. There is a post within the first 50 post (somewhere between #40 and #50) that would give one a clue that this (It was uranium SITTING in an old Soviet-built reactor. We and the Russians came by and picked it up with the full cooperation of the Bulgarians. Something we've done before was what was happening.
