The New York Times and the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) claim that the release of some the Iraqi documents contain sensitive nuclear information on how to build and design a nuclear weapons and it is a breach of security. However there is a website called nuclearweaponarchive.org http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Nwfaq/Nfaq4.html that details how to engineer and design a nuclear weapons with equations and diagrams and the whole nine yards. Yet another lies by the IAEA and New York Times has been destroyed a lie that was designed to influence the elections on Tuesday.
Here is the website and a list of all chapters on how to design and make the nuclear bomb. If you click on the link it will take you to the chapters and if you click on the chapters you will get extreme details on how to build the nuclear weapon.

Great site. I just used Front Page to suck down the whole site for me; for posterity of course.
"Even someone with limited knowledge and a crude, flawed design could create one hell of a mess given enough fissile material.
If it fizzled it would still go critical, irradiate a lot of people, contaminate a large area and cause economic chaos."
You are right about that, friend... even if they were unsuccesfull with their device, they could still cause a huge problem.
