One of the documents, from 2001, was titled “Document burial and U.N. activities in Iraq,” the sources said. It gave detailed instructions on how to hide materials and deceive U.N. weapons inspectors, the sources said.

Other documents related to the concealment of VX nerve gas, the sources said.

The sources said U.S. troops also discovered about 300 sacks of castor beans, which are used to make the deadly biological agent ricin, hidden in a warehouse in the town of al-Aziziyah, 50 miles southeast of Baghdad, the capital. The castor beans were inaccurately labeled as fertilizer.

Sounds like smoking guns to me.

Ahh but don't ya know, castor beans make very pretty foliage in a flower bed. I had some in my back yard, not 300 sacks though. With all the "obviously innocent" *parts* of WMD found relating to flower bed, it makes one wonder how many green thumbs there are in Iraq.

U.S. OFFICIALS said the discoveries were not proof that Iraq had managed to build or obtain banned weapons of mass destruction, as President Bush asserted before the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March.

Did he assert that? Or is this MSNBC making things up?

Until Geraldo Rivera is posed with microphone in hand besides an upright shiny 30' missile labeled, 'WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION', the cynics will continue to whine.
