"I'm thinking the DoD does NOT want these sites confirmed until later "

Apparently, but why? They did that with the information linking Saddam to 9/11 and then when they were ready to go after Saddam, they couldn't use the information. Nobody believed it.

You don't bury labs ... . Something smells.

There were only scraps of intelligence linking Saddam to 9-11, and they knew they'd be challenged.

Any individual find will be challenged.

Dozens of finds, complete with documentation of activities and testimony from workers is pretty hard to challenge.

IMO, they want to paint the entire picture of Iraq's banned weapons programs rather than dribble out individual finds that people can debate about.

Unless you know that your enemy is watching your every move.
