Here's a link to a Washington Times story picking up the UPI item: http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040721-081009-2541r.htm
UPI is sourcing the same Iraqi paper but this means they'll be on what would be the story of the year.
Saddam had nukes, and I thought old Joe Wilson claimed that Iraq was clean and wasn't even soliciting the materials to make nukes.
I do not recall anyone ever claiming that Saddam had nukes, only chemical and biological and was seeking materials to make nukes.
Maybe it was worth serving up Sandy the Burglar to the media whores so this story gets no play prior to the bash in Boston.
