The news you promised we would get Last evening. The news that would break goverments and prove once and for all the USA was right, didn't make my local news here in Norway (censorship ?). Would you mind updating me.

I think we all have access to un-censored news. In this case, the UN’s team issued a public statement/request and then the news just stopped. Looks to be locked down tighter than what the Soviets had taken away from them on the road to Syria.

What has made the news is that some detectors set to look for Plutonium were set off at a plant that the inspectors had declared clean, but it was in an area that they may not have known existed. An announcement was made and the UN’s regulatory team stated their intent to take over. I doubt that will be allowed to happen because of the national make up of the group. All of this made the tube on Friday. But then the news just stopped! This can mean a lot of things, one or two good and the rest very bad. But it does show that the inspectors were not inspecting properly. Two previously inspected facilities have been found to be in violation of the cease fire accord. Both were cleared by the inspection teams in the Last few months.

We now have two news blackouts in this war. What is going on with the (alleged) Plutonium and what was taken from the Russians on the road to Syria?

I just got this link; man these guys have lost their signs! The materials were under IAEA lockdown, but the IAEA was gone. I guess they just trusted Saddam to stop his research and assumed that he would no longer try to build a bomb. I’m not a nuclear physicist or engineer, but even I know that Plutonium is not something that can be easily overlooked during an inspection. And it is not the type of stuff that can be hidden in a tool shed. It can reach critical mass in very small amounts, and particles of it can kill when inhaled by humans. Strap a few grams of this stuff to some Nitrate bombs and you could cause a real big problem.
