Is there any way everyone can list the questionable items we found in Iraq and ask Jim to put 'em up somewhere on the front page or something? If these planes (or others) do turn out to have something, we might be able to find out other connected data from here to reference.

I mean, what happened to the missiles filled with insecticide? The $60,000 chemical warheads found by Kuwait three months ago? The radioactive buildings found in April? Where'd all these go to and why aren't there any updates?

It's just something that's been bothering me for a while. Rant finished. Sorry.....

The $60,000 chemical warheads found by Kuwait three months ago?

Funny you should mention that...I just posted yesterday about that...I suspect it was swept under the rug...

Kuwait's Interior Ministry has denied a newspaper report that security officials foiled an attempt to smuggle US$60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to a European country. Maj. Adel al-Hashash, deputy manager of public relations at the Interior Ministry, told The Associated Press Sunday that the ministry has repeatedly denied the report.
But if you read further into the story:
Shawkat al-Hakem, Al-Siyassah managing editor, told the AP on Saturday that the minister's comments did not negate his paper's report. He said the paper stood by its story.

In the original denial story, al-Sabah literally danced around the question in his denial (Asked about the report of seized biological warheads, al-Sabah also told al-Qabas newspaper: "Up to now we have not verified this...") and the "other items" that were confiscated were never defined...the story was literally swept under the rug after al-Sabah's denial, a little too quickly for my taste.

The radioactive buildings found in April?

If I remember correctly that site has already been instrumented and monitored by the IAEA prior to the invasion. It was a waste storage facility that was looted after the invasion.

PARIS (Reuters) - A military plane carrying an unspecified number of paratroopers crashed in southwestern France on Wednesday, a military spokesman said. It was not immediately clear whether anyone was killed or what caused the crash. French LCI television said at least 10 people were on board at the time of the crash. France Info radio said police at the crash site had discovered at least two bodies but the report was not independently confirmed.
"We don't know the number of casualties at this stage," the spokesman said. He said the plane involved was a CASA transporter capable of carrying up to 40 parachutists.
