That's not good. But if they were trying to neutralize, then they must have been wearing some protective clothing......

FoxNews:

US military found artillery round (IED, bomb).

Apparently, it was set up as a roadside bomb. Military detonated it.

[Still looking for hardcopy.]

But...all Iraq's sarin gas was detroyed in 1991.

Saddam told us so.

Appears we now make the distinction between chemical weapons and WMD. Sarin is a chemical weapon.

Apparently, it was set up as a roadside bomb. Military detonated it.

Which presumably released the Sarin gas -- devilishly clever. But also vindication, if it's true.

Note that Saddam's last use of WMD, against the Kurds, employed Sarin gas....

Watching the press conference on Fox?

A briefing on sarin used against our troops and the reporter asked to switch the topic to Abu Ghraib...

Just caught a bit of the CENTCOM press conference on the subject to hear a reported ask about prison abuse photos. They just can't allow the subject to be changed!
