Spokesman says early report, people tried to draw conclusions without enough information. They have made an effort to gather more information.

Sure, there was an embedded reporter at Al Qaqaa on April 10, 2003. But the U.S. was there a week before, and the news was all over the place back then - but it's forgotten now. Here's part of a report from the BBC April 5. (I'd inlclude a US media link from then, but all I could find were stories from outside the US. How quaint):

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2919645.stm

"A senior US official said the white powder found at Latifiya was believed to be explosives, AP reported.

"Latifiya is part of the large Qa Qa military complex south-west of Baghdad."

The NYT announces this Tuesday, defending its recent story:

"Iraq's Ministry of Science & Technology informed the International Atomic Energy Agency in a letter on October 10 that the materials were lost from the Al-qaqaa site after April 9, 2003, through the theft and looting of the governmental installations due to lack of security."

The NYT says that the materials were lost after April 9, which just happens to be the day before NBC comes rolling in. Well, dang, NBC. Sorry about that.

But we were there about April 3. Why wasn't all that stuff "lost" then? Regarding the missing RDX or HMX - wasn't that powder?

Man - what would be hilarious is if the US took it, thus confounding the totally inept UN, and it wasn't until 18 months later they realized it.

Intro:

Early Reports are often wrong

We are here to tell the facts as they are

People drew conclusions absent of facts

We've been gathering facts

Initial reports suggested that that we couldn't account for those facilities

Since then, we've learned that quantity of RDX was less than initially reported. 100 tons less. more to come...

There is a huge conspiracy against Bush by the mainstream media (with the exception of FNC). I doubt this will get any airplay.
