Some Iraqi nuclear facilities appear to be unguarded, and radioactive materials are being taken out of the country, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency reported after reviewing satellite images and equipment that has turned up in European scrapyards.

The International Atomic Energy Agency sent a letter to U.S. officials three weeks ago informing them of the findings. The information was also sent to the U.N. Security Council in a letter from its director, Mohamed ElBaradei, that was circulated Thursday.

The IAEA is waiting for a reply from the United States, which is leading the coalition administering Iraq, officials said.

The United Sattes has virtually cut off information-sharing with the IAEA since invading Iraq in March 2002 on the premise that the country was hiding weapons of mass destruction.

3. Soon coming to a city near you! George, you are such a fuck up.

Someone make him swear on a bible in front of his Fundie base that he won't try to cancel elections when the diry bomb goes off in a major city because of his military negligence.

Is there a contest to come up with worse news everyday? This White House is winning that one...

4. on the premise that the country was hiding weapons of mass destruction

I generally love the guardian, but wtf? How does the premise that the country is hiding wmd cause you to cut off information sharing w/ professionals whose job it is to find wmd? One more piece of evidence that the only worthwhile news source is message boards like this one. At least after you read half-a-dozen conflicting reports and half-truths from the "news" media, you can piece together an account that might (sort of) resemble the truth.

5. I read it differently.

"...since invading Iraq in March 2002 on the premise that the country was hiding weapons of mass destruction."

Invading on the premise, not withholding information on the premise.
