Subject: RE: BS: The Good Things about the Iraq Occupatio
Saw a documentary I think - that showed that the world's greatest expert on nuclear centrigfuges - US guy in fact - had invetigated them and told the Adminstration that those tubes were too heavy to be of any use - also they were of the wrong type of material (remember aaall that ranting about how special they were!) as they would leak far too mach. He was most upset when he saw the claims on TV and tried to contact anybody who would listen - but nobody in the US media was interesetd, let alone the White House...

Also - an Australian company was involved in the purchase of those tubes - and how this US guy (from somewhere in "The Govt") just kept on harping about how they were only suitable for use in nuclear processing - he had no qualifications other than the ear of the President...


And Now this Gem....
