Of course not. Remember the template if it makes Bush look good, then it will be ignored or buried in the back pages. If it makes Bush look bad, then its hammered in the front pages.

Who were the buyers? That's what isn't even speculated on in this article.

There is no GD way a pick-up load of Uranium ore, even hi-grade, is going to be worth $330,000!

... federal police seized 1,320 pounds of ore ...This doesn't agree with the headline. Not only was the uranium not enriched, it wasn't uranium.

Sounds like a lot, but unenriched ore is pretty low yield and not all that valuable.
