Most probably, this is the result of someone trying to get rid of evidence, not poison the river. Remember those sightings reported last week of Iraqis in chem suits handling drums? They were probably dumping the stuff in the river to keep coalition forces from finding them on the way north.

Saddam has been caught stashing evil sh er stuff in the rivers and lakes already years ago just by accident. That is why any real investigation must search them carefully. This leak could well be the result of hidden weapons materials. I would say that the probabilities of weapons stashed, dumping and pollution from his or his cronies companies are about equal.
