the Iraqi centrifuge scientist said he was ordered to keep his nuclear bombmaking research concealed from U.N. weapons inspectors.

Uht oh! ... too bad the MSM will ignore this, just like all the othr scientists... pity.

[DSBull]

Be careful of this guy..I seem to remember someone,although I can't remember if it is this guy, saying different stuff during the war.

So although I hope that this is true, I would want to verify this guy isn't trying to sell a book deal now..

Is THIS the October surprise?

If so, what will the media do? Cover it up? Or acknowledge it?

The Iraqi physicist who ran his country's uranium enrichment program

Hm. I like how the "lead physicist in Saddam's uranium enrichment program" lists all the storage sites, laboratory locations, weapons development and research centers, test sites, because, well, he would know, wouldn't he?

This is utter BS. We could have immediate scientific verification of radioactive/chemical materials if this guy was for real. He could at least tell us WHERE he did all his research.

Nuke program parts unearthed in Baghdad back yard

Experts said the documents and pieces Obeidi gave the United States were the critical information and parts to restart a nuclear weapons program, and would have saved Saddam's regime several years and as much as hundreds of millions of dollars for research. David Albright, who was a U.N. nuclear weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s, said inspectors "understood that Iraq probably hid centrifuge documents, may have had components, and so it is very important that those items be found." ...Obeidi said he felt unsafe in Iraq after the U.S.-led invasion and that he was getting pressure from different corners of the country. He also said other Iraqi scientists were watching to see if he was safe after he cooperated with the U.S. government. Now that he and his family are safely out of Iraq, Obeidi said he believes other scientists would come forward with other components of Iraq's weapons program.

Iraqi uranium found but concerns remain

On Thursday, IAEA inspectors will complete their first mission to Iraq since the war. But they have not been allowed by the US to check the safety and security of these radiation sources, which are used in hospitals and factories or kept in storage. Many of the sources contain potentially lethal amounts of caesium 137, cobalt 60 and other radioactive isotopes. If stolen, they could be combined with a conventional explosive to make a bomb that would contaminate a city centre. They could also pose a serious threat to public health if mislaid or mishandled. Looting has been repeatedly reported at the biggest radiation store, the Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Centre near Baghdad. Doctors in the area say they are seeing dozens of people every day with symptoms of radiation poisoning such as diarrhoea, rashes and nose bleeds... According to the IAEA director general, Mohamed ElBaradei, "most" of the uranium is accounted for, though he is still waiting for the final report from his inspectors. The material has been kept under IAEA seal since 1991 to prevent it from being manufactured into high-enriched uranium for atomic bombs.

More evidence which might interest you.

Yes his involvement with terrorists and his desire to manufacture more WMDs to give to them is beyond dispute. But that counts for nothing with Big Media. Expect this story to be buried like all the others that prove Bush's case including Joe Wilson's lies, Sandy Berger's theft, and all the correspondence that has been chronicled between Hussein and Al-Qaeda. BM is out to get Bush, and facts exonerating the case for the war will be disposed of as quick as possible. We are dealing with a media that is criminal in failing in its obligation to provide pertinent info to the public. Thank god for Fox News, talk radio, and the internet.

News conference time. Come on, Rove. Get him out there. Let him make the announcement and don't answer their questions. Just get it out there.
