This after [link\|http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030507-044244-9474r\|Undersecretary of Defense Steve Cambone reported finding a truck last month with "a fermenter for growing cultures, gas cylinders to supply clean air for production and a system to capture and compress exhaust gases to eliminate any signature of the production"]. Odd that this isn't getting the front-page treatment on most news.

The reason why we are not finding WOMD may be because they are mobile and being moved around. That mobile virus lab is one that they found, there may be others. It may be enough proof to show that Iraq was at least making WOMDs from the mobile labs. A clear violation of the disarmament talks. A quick search on CNN.COM finds these articles: [link\|http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/14/sprj.irq.labs/index.html\|http://www.cnn.com/2...q.labs/index.html] [link\|http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/05/06/sprj.irq.main/index.html\|http://www.cnn.com/2...q.main/index.html] It may not have gotten front page listings because they haven't proven that the labs had NBC materials in them yet. They are still searching them and doing tests to verify that there are viruses or chemical agents in those labs. *"If you're going to cheat, cheat fair.
