3,200 grams of plastic explosives

6.5 pounds? Darn. Somewhere there is a whole lot more of this stuff.

But. but, but the Iraqi's do not have any of this type of material. No arms, no WMDs no nothing. Sadam is just a nicepeace loving person, and the nasty Americans are just being, well nasty. HOW COME NONE OF THIS APPEARS IN THE DAILY PRESS? Never mind I know.

AP news wires: fed to most local, state, national American TV and print news 24/7. Ignoring CENTCOM, the troops and Saddam's victims daily in favor of the Ba'athist sympathizers at the Palestine Hotel, imho.
