A Republican congressman says U.S. arms inspectors need to make the public better aware that Iraqi insurgents are assassinating scientists who could hold the key to Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

Like Mr. Buyer, U.S. officials are wondering why Saddam loyalists are killing his weapons scientists if the Iraqi dictator did not possess weapons of mass destruction.

Alleged scientists or actual scientists?

If they haven't spilled their guts by now, they deserve to have their guts spilled.

Mr. Buyer said he learned of the assassinations during a closed-door briefing by Mr. Kay and wondered then why the inspector and other officials are not doing more to publicly expose the killings as significant events.

While his motives may be noble, did he get prior clearance to release this info? "Loosey" may have some 'splainin to do...

I'm sure this is just a coincidence.

After all, everybody knows Bush lied about WMD to get us into this war so his Oil Buddies and Cheney's Halliburton friends could steal Iraqi oil!

This was known outside the context of the briefing. if you read the news real close, you'll know this is going on. but it is not publicized.

Maybe it should be.
