The Washington Post is reporting that almost two tons of Uranium plus additional other radioactive material has been flow out of Iraq. For those not in the know, if you combine the "low-grade" Uranium with a breeder reactor or certain other methods using a neutron gun, and soon you have "weapons grade" uranium. A boy scout actually did something similar on his own some time ago - and no this is not an urban legend. This means there was WMD (that is "weapons of mass destruction" for those who dislike aconymns) material in Iraq. It had just not been assembled, and was awaiting a lifting of the U.N. sanctions.
Certainly not a "smoking gun," but evidence that our intelligence agencies (actually the whole world's intelligence agencies) were not as far off as critics of the War would like to believe.
