Where is his pal, Pitt? Oh, that's right. Pitt, who claims he is a political analyst, is actually a teacher in Boston. He is teaching his students that he is in John Kerry's district so he has never had the opportunity to vote for Ted Kennedy. How stupid is that from a "political analyst." How stupid is that from a teacher?

The often unreliable DEBKA.COM has some plausible details:

DEBKAfile and DEBKA-Net-Weekly Report Exclusively: US-Russian Teams Hunting Iraq-bound Uranium Five Weeks

28 September: The mysterious tip-off that led Turkish paramilitary police to the taxi cab, transporting 33 lbs of enriched uranium in a lead container hidden under a seat, came from the joint US-Russian undercover team that has for five weeks been tracking Iraqi operatives who were sent by the Iraqi ruler to hunt for the essential ingredient in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. The news released Saturday, September 28, does not say when the seizure took place.

This joint team, working out of Moscow, was first uncovered by DEBKA-Net-Weekly Issue 74 on August 23:

Operatives of the American and the Russian SVR secret services are jointly engaged in an epic hunt for a band of undercover Iraqi operatives racing up and down Russia, Belarus, the Ukraine and Kazakhstan this past week. According to DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s exclusive sources, the Iraqis have been sent by Saddam Hussein on an illicit hunt for nuclear material, particularly weapons-grade enriched Uranium-235. They are also trying to buy black market missile parts.

American and Russian task forces have set up a joint command center in Moscow to coordinate the high-stakes chase.

The alarm was first sounded in Washington and Moscow in early August by reports of Iraq agents splashing out with multi-million dollar offers for nuclear material. They did not take the information too seriously at first. But then came further reports that 15 Iraqi agents had split up into three groups, two covering Kazakhstan and the Ukraine and the third, Belarus.

The American and Russian presidents put their heads together and decided their intelligence operational divisions would mount a hot pursuit of the Iraqi agents, hoping to get to them before they reached their objective.

DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s sources say the chase is still on.

The haul in the southern Turkish province of Sanliurfia, which borders on Syria, may have given President George W. Bush the conclusive evidence he needs to prove that Saddam Hussein is racing to build up a nuclear warfare capability and may use it in the approaching war. It may be the clincher in Washington’s bid for support at home and abroad in its decision to use military force against Iraq.

On Saturday, American and British representatives, having been rejected by France, arrived in Moscow to win the Russians round to Washington’s case against Saddam Hussein.

There is little doubt that the Turkish smugglers who had been promised $5 million for the uranium were on their way to the Syrian or Iraqi borders to hand it over to their Iraqi clients.

Despite the US-Russian success in tracking down one shipment of enriched uranium sufficient for the fabrication of several small bombs, there is no knowing for certain if previous consignments have not got through to destination and were already being processed.

Those "ampules" that you are discussing contain the isotope. Look closely at ALS' enlarged pic; you will see the silvery-grey metal inside the glass. I'm not sure what the oil in the bottom does, but it probably is a part of the process of encasing them in the glass.

Why glass? Metal would react. Uranium is a metal too. Each of those tubes weighs about a half-kilo to a kilo.

After reading this discussion thread, I hope the NSA, SECRET SERVICE, HOMELAND SECURITY, FBI, CIA, The Office of COUNTER-TERRORISM, and THE PENTAGON are up to speed and have-well connected, functioning intelligence.

18 stripes and a swastika!

The brains must be severely parasited with propaganda when the admirers of Hilter use the swastika as a label, then again, the meaning could be double, just as when the neo-nazies paint a swastika on holocaust graves.

Sounds like, dispite claims to the contrary, it isn't all that difficult to detect whether uranium is weapons grade or not.

sure don't see any connectors. it does look like ampules.

Not switches, and not "metal". This was out of Afghanistan last november:

Italian Foreign Minister Renato Ruggiero said in Brussels, where he was attending an EU meeting, that all the information at the disposal of the Italian authorities pointed to all four journalists being dead.

Cutuli, in what turned out to be her last story in Monday's newspaper, reported her discovery of a consignment of deadly Sarin nerve gas in an abandoned Taliban base at Farm Hada, an hour from Jalalabad.

She said she and Fuentes had discovered a carton containing 20 glass vials containing thick yellow liquid. The box was marked "Sarin Gas" in cyrillic lettering.

The pictures were floating around FR at the time. They looked identical to this stuff.

It appears to say "Primarily Youranium"

This appears to be a label in English, written by a Russian, for Germans.

[With an uncertainty of several hundred miles. ;-)

It's a bit strange that the police got a tip about the two Turks smuggling the uranium. One has to wonder if the sellers got their money and then tipped off the police.

I think those letters on the right spell "primarily.." and then a strange spelling for uranium. It is a rather odd container concerning it's labeling.

How 'bout asking people to get rid of their Mercedes Benz and BMW's? That would clear the freeways in So Cal of about a third of the cars leaving the highways and biways clear for us SUV drivers.
