To be quite honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the story was made up. I also wouldn't be surprised if the leak of the discredited story about a nuke in NYC was a calculated, propagandistic act on the part of the Administration. This is war, and the government is busy managing public opinion, keeping us ginned up for the battle ahead while doing what it can to minimize panic and economic uncertainty. This is what governments do in war time. Thus mythical germ factories in far-away Afghanistan and past-tense nuclear false alarms serve as proxies for the real and concrete threat that was spelled out in very simple terms in the letters to Daschle and Brokaw.

This is typical Guardian (ultra-leftist) spin and distortion. The only evidence the story was "made up" as they claim is the US military not confirming the report.

Even at that it is word games -- that there is no evidence biological weapons capability was acheived -- very different from finding lab equipment meant to be used in an attempt to make weapons.

Take home lesson -- the Guardian is not an honest straightforward source.

It is understandable ultra-leftist anti-American posters like Black Jade and others will use the Guardian's distorted agenda based reports as fodder.
