$1 million dollar reward and safe passage out of the country for a scientist and his extended family for spilling the beans on a secret site.

Too true, but in order for a foriegn entity to come and search our homes and churches, our governent would have to be in agreement with that entity, and I don't think that saddam is in agreement with the UN at this point in time. We all know he is going to use every excuse he can to hinder and prevent the searches.

[Brad C.]

I really don't know who owns the mosques, but I would think that saddam will use every means possible to hinder or prevent searches by the UN. We all have to remember that islam is the religion of "peace", and we would be doing it an injustice to even suspect that they woiuld hide any type of weapon near such a sanctuary.
All of which doesn't really matter. We are going to war with Irag, we just need to dance a little jig before we get there. God bless the men and women or our country who will rid the earth of a man such as saddam.

bump ... nuke the mosques ... it's the only way to be sure.
