calling Saddam Hussein a miscreantWow, even that seems harsh. I'm not sure Jean Chretien would approve.
By the way, is there any plutonium that isn't weapons grade?

Yes...Pu-238 is used in space probes because it produces a prodigious amount of heat (70 watts/gram, IIRC) which can be converted to electricity.
Unlikely that is what they actually found!
