BAGHDAD, Iraq, Oct. 27 - Looters stormed the weapons site at Al Qaqaa in the days after American troops swept through the area in early April 2003 on their way to Baghdad, gutting office buildings, carrying off munitions and even dismantling heavy machinery, three Iraqi witnesses and a regional security chief said Wednesday.

Enough rope...and a hanging tree.
There you go. Unimpeachable sources!
yeah like they carried 400 tons of wmd out in their pockets????
The Times is a toilet rag.
Hmmmmmm I wonder if the Times has an office in the UN HQ?
Seems to be coordinated with something or someone who might want to influence the election?
I don't want to sign in.
Is the munitions AK cartridges? Shells? It was a huge place.
How did the NYTimes find 4 so quickly? Are they named? Why would they confess to such an act?

NY Times is busted!
"Who'd a thought a ton would weigh so much?"
BTW, all sorts of sites were looted.
Ddin't have to loot either, all sorts of caches hidden.
NYTimes might be working on confusion of the word "munitions" to mean in the public the nasty stuff supposedly used in nukes. (Nukes??)
Maybe there were people there but for other things since it wasn't guarded -
I have a question: I didn't see a reason - so I'm asking -
Why is a thread "locked" - ? Where you can't post to it -
It does not matter, they planned this, and got their headlines for Kerry.
They went with a incomplete story on purpose, to have it debated and put Bush on the defensive with something he had no way of knowing the facts on, because only Bush needs facts, not Kerry.
God help us.
DOH!! They just don't know when to stop. BUMP! (CHECK THIS OUT)
Could because they don't want egg on their face - at least not just before the election - :)
Sure is becoming a fascinating story - which turn will it make next - ?
I saw another post that said the amount of weapons was wrong - instead of 300 and some - it was 3 and some - in amount - wonder which number is closer - to what it actually was -
i hear koepel has some vietcong who will testify too
w2004
ciao
And how did they carry out 400 tons in their pockets? NYT is beyond unbelievable, they're laughable.

This adds up to a non sequitur of their original premise. They must not teach logic in J school.
