Well .. you can believe what you want .. but I don't necessarily think just 3 pounds of the HNX or RDX stuff which brought down Pan Am 103 should be considered "no big deal".
There's already a statement here from a military guy who was there at the time we got to Al CACA, and he says his commanding officer had intel as to what they would find there. They didn't find it - it was gone before we got there.
I also believe it was gone before we got there. Even El Baradei's testimony before the UN also suggested that the stuff was gone, maybe months before.
Nothing explosive is "no big deal" but in the whole mix of things... there are an awful lot of explosives in the hands of an awful lot of bad guys around the world including in Iraq. Where ever they got what they have-- they can get more. It's not the availability of explosives that makes terrorism the problem that it is.
What we're talking about is some more explosives, or rather the components of certain explosives. Yes, it would be nice to know what happened to them. But they already have lots. That's all I was trying to say.
You are right--it is incorrect to say it is no big deal. My understanding is that these are explosives that can be used to trigger nuclear devices, which is why the UN had it sealed.
