AP/Reuters Says Blackhawk Hostile Fire Loss and First Chem Munitions Found

The AP and Reuters are reporting that the Blackhawk that was lost last
Thursday was apparently a victim of hostile fire based upon results from a
preliminary investigation. Both sources also report that Danish troops have
found the first confirmed chemical weapons in Iraq--36 artillery or mortar
rounds (reports vary as to specific type) filled with a blister agent, and
that another 100 rounds may be in the cache. No doubt some folks will soon
be screaming that 36, or 136 for that matter, chemical rounds are not
indicitive of Saddam having had chemical munitions despite his protestations
otherwise...
