Really? I guess I would like the other media outlets to report it -- of course, that would require King Hussein to hold a press conference announcing this.

Exactly the press lives on handouts in the US today. They have for some time. It became official when they started taking Pravda press release as equal to US government press releases late in the Soviet era.

This is being sparsely reported by the lamestream media, but it is difficult to get an accurate picture here yet. From a BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3635381.stm

An official involved in the inquiry in Jordan told AFP news agency: "We found primary materials to make a chemical bomb which, if it had exploded, would have made nearly 20,000 deaths ... in an area of one square kilometre.

I would read "primary materials" as meaning the two or three precursor chemicals which, when mixed together, create the weapon. As I understand it, that is one of the wonderful advantages of VX - your troops keep only the relatively less toxic compounds in hand, and mix them at the site of the attack. As such, you never FIND VX, unless you have had a chemical weapon attack (or accident).
