Another thought: we have heard nothing from the specialized teams that are specifically tasked with locating, identifying, and securing the WMD facilities, and I hear they have over 1000 facilities on their list. I doubt we will hear anything until they progress much further, because lots of attention will hamper their mission. So far, all these WMD finds we are hearing about are regular units stumbling across things that seem suspicious. In other words, be patient, these are not the real deal yet.

Rummy said today that anything suspicious would be analyzed not only by us but by testing facilities in other countries in order to have independent verification.

I know that some of the coalition forces, not US or Brit, are skilled in this type of thing -- off the top of my head possibly Germany and Japan.

He said we would keep a good chain of custody and that takes time.
