The only thing making it different is it comes very close to the election, leaving very little time to get the debunking out there.
Do I smell a coverup? The administration has known this tidbit of information for quite some time. Yet with all their preoccupation about WMD, they were wanting to keep hush on this very subject. They have only theirselves to blame for not having enough time to debunk the story since they withheld this information from the public for an extended amount of time.

I say: if it wasn't about the mismanagement of high explosives, there'd be some other breaking story since there have been a whole class of errors committed in this administration's hubris.
