I'd like to blame CNN too, but there was a high ranking military guy (Freakley, can't remember his rank, but up there) who came on the air in an interview with CNN correspondent and stated they had 11 dual use (biological and chemical) mobile labs, 20x20 feet, and 1000 pounds of documents.
If you read today's whole story, CNN is quoting Warrant Officer 2 Monte Gonzalez as saying "The 11 cargo containers were filled with new laboratory equipment apparently intended to make conventional weapons."
I wonder what "conventional weapons" would be made with this equipment: "test tubes, water baths, sand baths, ph transmitters, explosive-proof lights, ethyl alcohol gauges, shakers, test tubes, test tube holders, and temperature and pressure gauges." There is apparently some equipment missing here -- such as that on which you would use a pressure gauge, for instance.
This story is either intentionally incomplete, or the reporter is an idiot.
