You are right on the mark there. However, I'm not sure the article is that factual. The writer (who is only an editorial writer, not a science writer) picks and chooses from the spate of (deliberately) conflicting mis and dis information pieces put out recently.
The Weekly Standard is one of the "neo-con" organs beating the drums for war with Iraq. I think this article has to be taken with more than the proverbial grain of salt.
