Subject: RE: BS: Well, looky here...
Gee, perhaps the reason the so-called WMD's are in the scrapyards is because they're scrap. As in decomissioned, broken down, neglected, unmaintained, inoperable and bound for the smelter. Is a scrapped rocket engine in a junkyard in Rotterdam still a rocket engine or is it a hunk of scrap metal that used to be a rocket engine? If it's junk, who cares whether it used to be a rocket engine or a bicycle? If it's still operable or repairable, trying to fence it through a publicly accessible scrapyard doesn't seem like the most logical way to go about getting it into the hands of someone who might know what to do with it. I guess it's a possible way, but it would seem to imply a conspiracy involving numerous people. If it is still operable and it was intended to wind up in the hands of terrorists, wouldn't it have made more sense to just send it to them?
