Dana Lewis was embedded with 101st airborne division in Iraq. He will be on Brit Humes program on Fox News tonight. He is said to tell Brit those explosives in question WERE NOT THERE and they did search the sight.
I'm delighted Dana is goinh to cite the site sighting.
ping
That would be golden.
Hope it's so!

Bump.
From Kerry Spot
have a question about that first comment, that "it's not clear that those troops from the 101st were actually anywhere near the bunkers that reportedly contained the HMX and RDX."
A gentleman sending me e-mail from a ".mil" address writes:
But I was there at Al QaQaa on April 10th with the 101st, I can rest assure you that [NBC producer interviewed on MSNBC earlier today] Lai Ling Jew is lying about it, she seems to be expressing a convenient contrary opinion of the time. The very first thing we do when we move into an area is clear it of any enemy combatants, including going inside warehouses full of ordinance, which we did immediately when we reached there.
Another gentleman sending me e-mail from a ".mil" address writes:
Operational plans in modern warfare are continually rolling and are available to combat commanders in a real time network environment. The original pre-invasion Operation Plans listed the Al-QaQaa weapons depot as a priority security site. After the 101st Airborne Division inspected the site, the security priority was downgraded and the Operational Plan was modified.
So first, I would assume that before the 101st stopped at the site for 24 hours, they would at least send guys with guns through to make sure there weren't any hostile forces at al-QaQaa. I don't care how big the site is, no commanding officer is going to leave a bunch of buildings unchecked for badguys who might try to attack his guys. Also, wouldn't "securing" this site mean checking for booby traps? Wouldn't our guys want to know what's in these buildings that they're walking around?
And I would assume that the process of securing al-QaQaa — "a priority security site" would include checking for explosives in all these buildings they're securing. So that the message, "hey, guys, careful if we get attacked and have to defend this position - there are 350 tons of high-grade explosives over in that storage bunker over there" gets to everybody who needs to hear it.
Brit Hume is about the only 'reporter' in the major media that I trust anymore. He doesn't put up with any nonsense and he asks great questions.
I don't know anything about Dana Lewis before today, but today he rules!
AIRBORNE BUMP!
When will he appear with Tom Brokaw on NBC Nightly News???

Good hire FNC! Came in handy.
How insightful! ;-)

Slowly...
Inexorably...
The hammer begins to fall...
Cite sight sighting ping!
When I grow up, I want to be delusional and irrelevant.
Oops..he already created folks like that.
They make up John Kerry's support.
John Gibson just had Richard Holbrook on.
John raised the likelihood that the materials weren't there when our troops arrived,
Holbrook said: "John, You don't know what happened...I don't know what happened".
John shot back: "...and Kerry doesn't know what happened! So why'd he make the ad?!"
I think some accomodating 527 needs to make an ad out of Holbrook's statement!
