Thermo, I as well await a thourough accounting of the nuclear site, but it is way to early to be claiming any sort of coverup. It's entirely possible that the fleeing Iraqi's or even coalition forces broke open some containers with plain old waste products and that is what could be causing the high levels of radioactivity.

What everybody needs to understand is this process will take some time, just as those attempting to inspect before the war were saying. But at least now that we don't have the regime actively working to deceive the inspectors there are better prospects for finding the truth.

So far the coalition forces have found hundreds, by some accounts over a thousand sites of interest. Of these only a couple dozen have been thouroughly inspected. This would be a slow process under good conditions, in the middle of a shooting war it's even slower.
