What would you do differently? They have not substantiated anything only a possibility. The reporter already had it out to his Pa. paper.

I would avoid the purple prose on the website and in the studio until there was more solid info.

Ok, here is the changed portion of the new revised Fox text article, the first to actually mention Plutonium:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,83821,00.html

"BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. Marines may have found weapons-grade plutonium in a massive underground facility discovered beneath Iraq's Al Tuwaitha nuclear complex, an embedded reporter told Fox News Thursday.

Coalition forces are investigating a stash of radioactive material found at the site south of Baghdad, the reporter, Carl Prine of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, told Fox News.

The material was discovered at the complex, which is operated by the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission and is located south of Baghdad's suburbs.

While officials aren't prepared to call the discovery a "smoking gun," two preliminary tests conducted on the material have indicated that it may be weapons-grade plutonium."


My basic point is people shouldn't be running off to DU to post and gloat or e-mailing their anti-war friends to gloat based on "two preliminary tests" that indicate "it MAY be weapons-grade plutonium."
