To buttress your point, note the date April 18 (the date mentioned in the ABC story--and they helpfully add the "nine days after Baghdad fell" so we know it is not a typo) is not on this timeline of Al Qaqaa.

The 101st was not at the complex on the date ABC claims this video was taken. It was at some other site, which makes their "point" moot (and wrong):

Timeline on missing explosives in Iraq

excerpt:

-- April 9: The 3rd Infantry Division captures Baghdad.

-- April 10: Troops from the 101st Airborne Division's 2nd Brigade spend 24 hours at the site, search for chemical weapons -- but not high explosives -- and then head to Baghdad. An NBC reporter embedded with the unit said there's no talk among the 101st of securing the area after they leave.

-- May 3: The nuclear agency purportedly notifies the U.S. Mission in Vienna of its concerns about the Al-Qaqaa facility.

Pass it on.

High explosives have never been the issue except for the last 5 days .

But now High explosive = WMDs with the NYT, CBS, UN crowd - absolutely silly.
