Yep -- you would think so. Actually hope is the word. But the reality is a "whole 'nuther thang".

What does "examine" really mean in this article?

Since they made NO references to ANTHING specific about these two, for all anyone knows, the Observer relied on what they "were told" by these unnamed people's after they "examined" photos/descriptions or parts of reports by others...?

Don't under estimate these rags and their use of "got to" people used to push their agendas.

NOTHING in the article indicates that these were in person -- US/UK sanctioned examinations. Believe me, if this was such a thing it would have been in the headline.

My Microbiologist friend (ther are a number of micro labs in this area) says it would take a reasonably competent microbiologist about ten minutes to determine if the trailers were capable of biowarfare use. If they actually were, I would think we would be hearing it 24/7 on every meida the gov could give releases to. The fact that we have had them for a significant amount of time and haven't been able to make a pronouncement that they were indeed bioweapon labs indicates that they are not. Either that or we have no microbiologists or biowarefare experts available to look at the things: you choose which is more probable.

It's time to face the truth. Bush lied about Iraqi WMD's for reasons we will probably never know (money and power undoubtably play a role though). Iraq, if they had anything at all (of which there is no indication to date), most certainly had nothing that presented the threat to us that we were led to believe they did by Bush. They certainly didn't have the numbers and capabilities we were constantly assured they had and were preparing to use against us (all those 230 or so sites we claimed they had WMD's at have proven innocent). We attacked a nation that was in no way provoking an attack, or threatening us, based on lies. This is not good.
