Nukes from Iraq

For the skeptical who continue to worry that our war in Iraq was un-justified, comes a Washington Post story about nuclear related equipment, some of it contaminated that has been turning up in scrapyards in Europe.

Mohammed ElBaradei, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, warned the U.N. Security Council in a letter that U.N. satellite photos have detected "the extensive removal of equipment and, in some instances, removal of entire buildings" from sites that had been subject to U.N. monitoring before the U.S.-led war against Iraq.

There isn't any smoking gun here but the article strongly suggests the presence, after the 1991 Gulf War, of nuclear materials. It was probably nothing though, just some kid's science project gone awry.
