WASHINGTON (CNN) --The CIA has in its hands the critical parts of a key piece of Iraqi nuclear technology -- parts needed to develop a bomb program -- that were dug up in a back yard in Baghdad, CNN has learned.

These aren't cow college centrifuges, weapons enrichment centrifuges have a certain malicious look to them.

Hey! Why are you jumping all over him? He clearly noted that it was a picture of a lab centrifuge in his caption. Because the entire discussion is about gas centrifuges.

if anything it is proof that Iraq didn't have an active program at the time of the second gulf war, because if they didn't they wouldn't have left the stuff to rot in a guys back yardOK, I'll bite, are you Kerry or Dean?
Dude the significance of the find is the documentation to construct, maintain and make use of gas centrifuges for enriching uranium.

Amazing how things tie together.

DUmmies are saying that: 1) it was planted; I wonder when, or even if, any of them will figure out that if it was planted, the story would definitely not be that it's been buried since 1991.

I don't think there are not too many places where you can pick up this type of equipment.
Be interesting to see if we can determine where and how they got it.
To: FreePaul
ummm.. because they don't say baby milk factory on them?
*chuckle*
I'm STILL lovin' that one, even after all these years.

Funny how people cry that we haven't found anything in Iraq and yet when we DO find something, they say "Well, that's not good enough! Bush lied...I'm voting for someone else, etc". For some people you could rub their noses in it, literally, and they would find another reason(s) to downplay what has been found.

If this is not a smoking gun then what the hell is, a vaporized U.S. city?

"The U.S. government told CNN the security and safety issues have been dealt with and there is no risk now in telling the story fully."

Here's a question that escapes me. At the start of the Manhattan Project they were looking at three ways of enriching Uranium; centrifuge, gas diffusion, and one other. I can't recall the third method. Anyone remember? And are any of the other enrichment methods still viable?

I'm going to hold my breath on this one, seeing how the many other finds haven't panned out well.
