I have been unable to find any reports on the internet, on this subject.
Anyone have any more info? Nothing at all. Don't believe all you hear on the internet... Interesting, isn't it? The sarin find was reported by NPR's female correspondent (whose name escapes me), who is embedded with a Marine unit in Fallujah. I heard it myself on NPR's "All Things Considered," which airs in the afternoons. Now, it's no where to be found. Either the report has been discredited, or it's being suppressed. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I heard the follow-up within the past 24 hours, probably on NRP, which is where I think I heard the original report. The original report from the female NRP reporter, as I recall hearing it, was that troops entering some area had found containers which were labelled in some way, in English, with the word Sarin, and that since the troops who found this stuff didn't have the expertise to tell what the contents were, more expert people were being brought in to assess what it was. The follow-up was that the materials were not sarin weapons but protective gear for sarin weapons. [Which, taken together, means that your final sentence above is incorrect, right? -- that is, the original report, at least as I recall it, was neither discredited nor is it being suppressed.] [On the other hand, it's certainly an interesting question as to what that particular stuff was doing there? Did Iraqis have it because they either thought or knew that they or other Iraqi forces had sarin? (I recall a report some time back claiming that certain captured or interviewed Iraqi generals said that they didn't have chemical weapons but believed that other Iraqi forces did.) Or did they have it because they believed _we_ would use it? Or did outside insurgents bring the stuff in from elsewhere? Will we ever know?] |
