Just a few of the things that 'bother' me in the article:

a) 7 lbs ?? - just what was that going to accomplish?

b) It refers to 'cyanide salts' which, although it seems people have been quick to assume, does not automatically translate to sodium cyanide. It could be any one of a number of the cyanide salts, which vary in properties.

c) The frequent use of the word 'believe'
.......located in what was BELIEVED to be the safe house of Abu Musab Zarqawi ......
....Zarqawi, BELIEVED to have been operating in Iraq......
.....Zarqawi is BELIEVED to have begun establishing terror cells....
.......also BELIEVE he had been attempting to produce large quantities of the toxin ricin in northern Iraq.....


All in all the article would appear to be fairly low in cold hard facts and rather high in sensationalism and inferences.

Just more empty clap trap to try to save face over the WMD hoax.
It amazes me that thinking adults can swallow this stuff whole.
