So, do we have Kerry mole at the Pentagon who tells the AP:
ElBaradei's cover letter to the council said the HMX had been under IAEA seal and the RDX and PETN were "both subject to regular monitoring of stock levels."

"The presence of these amounts was verified by the IAEA in January 2003," he said. At the Pentagon, an official who monitors developments in Iraq said U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. Thereafter, the site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

NBC vs AP Or could the anonymous source be Rove's plant? Inquiring minds want to know. (and yes, I was lurking at DU based upon an upthread post, when I found this.)

I am confused! We have an NBC report that the explosives supposedly "lost by Bush" were already gone by the time we first got to Al Qaqaa. But we have an AP report from earlier in the day that a Pentagon official confirmed that "U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. Thereafter, the site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity."

Are we now SURE the weapons were gone from Al QaQaa when we got there? Or do we just have two conflicting reports?
