The Combat Engineers said looters or Iraqi officials broke seals placed on uranium stores at the Yellowcake site by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Broke seals at 14 different buildings? Broke seals at the site of huge underground caverns of "heavy water?" I don't think so.
We were told that Saddam was missing one thing from being able to create a nuke...fissionable material. It does not inspire confidence to learn that that the UN "sealed" radioactive nuclear material right in Iraq and knew about it all along.

We only have the word of an official who commented on the condition of anonymity that the seals were broken, who wasn't there, he just surmised it, trying to dismiss the find, then as people picked up this anononymous comment, it was getting amplified.
Funny some people place more credibility in the comment of an unnamed person, than the marines and experts who ARE there.
I think some people ( French?? are really sweating and all the Saddam appeasers are trying to shove this under the rug.

I don't think so.In earlier articles, one of the "sources" that said "the Marines did it" was an "unnamed" ex-inspector, which, I suspect, is weasel-speak for Scott Ritter. I seriously doubt the Marines broke any seals, but later in this article it mentions a more likely possibility--looters and/or Iraqi officials.
