So you're saying that terrorists attack people in the name of All-ha because they're hungry?

Now that is just intellectually dishonest.

"Contrary to ongoing reports by mainstream media outlets, WMDs have been found in Iraq, so reports New York Times best-selling author Richard Miniter in his new book, Disinformation.

Consider these shocking facts:

• Found: 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium

• Found: 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons

• Found: Roadside bomb loaded with sarin gas

• Found: 1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for radioactive dirty bombs

• Found: 17 chemical warheads--some containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more powerful than sarin "



”In March, 2003, when U.S. tanks rolled into Iraq, 500 tons of yellow cake uranium was found at the Iraqi nuclear research center of al-Tuwaitha. This included 1.8 tons of partly enriched uranium. On June 23, 2004, the U.S. military, working with the U.S. Department of Energy removed this material to the US where is held at an unnamed Department of Energy facility."

I am not. I am saying that North Korea lacks the resources needed to make a nuclear bomb.
As to other illegal activities like petty crime -- nobody, even the USA, is innocent. E.g., the close relationship between CIA and drugdealers is not a secret.

Concerning the list of materials you posted: I will google later. Perhaps there is another version of this story.

In fact, 500 metric tonnes of UNenriched uranium and 1.8 tonnes of purified (that is, NOT enriched) uranium dioxide AKA yellowcake.
Unenriched uranium is used to make armour and armour-piercers.
On what yellowcake is, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowcake. Nothing rare or suitable for a nuclear bomb.

> was found
It wasn't found because it wasn't hidden. In fact, the uranium was feared stolen after American invasion and resulting looting, but later found (most of it).
It was lying there since 1992, sealed by IAEA.

So much for now. I'll search for other fakes later.
Although "Roadside bomb loaded with sarin gas" and "1,000 radioactive materials" already sound stupid.
