This was posted on Lucianne.com by a poster who heard the photographer on the radio this morning:

"This ABC story is very misleading. The photographer who shot the video was on a local radio station this morning and he made no such claims. In fact he had the tape sent to some weapons experts to try and verify that what was on his videotape was the stuff that has been in the press.

He also wasn't even sure he was at Al-Qaqaa, he stated that the reporter that he was with was constantly taking GPS readings and that he was also trying to find the GPS coordinates of Al-Qaqaa to match the coordinates that he and the reporter were recording.

He was very adamant that he did not know what he saw or for that matter exactly where he was and he was waiting for more information before he would be confident that the stuff he saw was indeed the controversial explosives."

The reporter is not even sure it was Al-QaQaa, and the date cited is April 18 - one week AFTER the time frame that has been discussed when the 101st was there (April 11)and two weeks after the 3rdID was there (April 4).

The time frame and the location then are suspect, as the IAEA has not claimed that HMX was missing from any other location, and it appears the photographer was not even sure where he was.

Thanks Debbie. It looks like the embedded reporter is not at fault here and ABC decided to "jump to conclusions" as is their wont (when it's "Get Bush" time).
