The United States intercepted an illegal shipment of thousands of parts of uranium-enrichment equipment bound for Libya in October, leading to Tripoli agreeing to cap its weapons program, U.S. officials confirmed yesterday.
Senior State Department official John R. Bolton plans to fly to London today to make plans with Britain for holding Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to his pledge to dismantle his nuclear-weapons program.

From
Globalsecurity.org:
On June 15, 2003 eleven nations agreed on a version of the Proliferation Security Initiative, called the Madrid Initiative for the city where the agreement was reached. The Madrid Initiative was endorsed by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Australia. The iniative proposed strategies for intercepting cargos suspected of containing chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, or missile components. The US has announced an increase in surveillance in the area in addition to increased interdiction by Japan, South Korea, and Australia.

"...Others, however, said they were concerned at the time that the seizure might undermine the attempt to win Libya's cooperation. "It could have derailed the effort," said a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity...." Correction: Who spoke on condition that we not reveal he was a cowardly democrap- "oh no we found what we were looking for- evidence- I hope it doesnt make the bad guys mad- oooh wahhhh"

This can't be true. The nice people on the TV news have assured us that it was "10 years of diplomacy" (hmmm, who was President for most of those 10 years?) that caused Khadaffi to come clean!
You stole my post!

Jappy New Year!!!

Presented with Gadhafi's open admission, Ritter went on to accuse the Bush administration of deliberately planting the incriminating WMD evidence to humiliate poor Gadhafi and divert attention from the failure to find WMD in Iraq ;-) Or is this actually a portion of Iraq's WMD's and where the nuclear WMDs were headed for both safe keeping and their continued development?
Next up: possible exposure of North Korea's involvement in all this?

Wouldn't rule it out.

Although I can't keep up with all the news-media flood, I don't think I've
yet heard Bill Clinton step forward to crow about this suppossed triumphant
culmination of these "10 years of diplomacy".
I suspect after the account of the absolutely flaccid response by Clinton and his
officials (except for Richard Clark, IIRC) to the USS Cole bombing, as detailed in
"Losing Bin Laden", maybe Bill Clinton has (wisely) decided to stay toward
the edge of the media spotlight for awhile.

Germans were somen of the good guys in this story. The German company was simply hired out to bring cargo from point A to point B.
Once they were notified by GERMAN authorities what was going on they went to a FRIENDLY italian port and helped.
To: Graymatter
"Findled" has a suspicious, beaurocratic, underhanded sound - like "fondled" combined with "spindle".
Happy New Year!
To: longjack
had been on a German freighter underway from a gulf state port to Libya when it was seized in October. One wonders which "Gulf State" this port was in, and where the centrifuges came from. Maybe they were formerly the property of the guy who was dragged from the hole under the date tree?
