KSTV had an embedded tv crew with a unit that arrived at the site and took film of the IAEA seals on the barrels of high grade explosives stored at the depot.

You can see pictures for yourself of the seals at dailykos.com

Another Bush blunder exposed.

Iraqis used 80 trucks for one big lift (or 20 trucks X 4). They would have needed special trolleys, forklifts, handling experts and skilled drivers (explosives aren't groceries). This operation could not have happened either during or after the war, while the Al-Qaqaa area was flooded with U.S. troops.

managed to elude U.S. Satellite surveillence?

Powell went to the UN with intelsat photos of 1 truck -- and claimed it was a bio weapon facilitiy.

80 trucks, trolleys, forklifts moving 400 tonnes of dangerous explosives -- and NOBODY NOTICED IT? WAS THE EYE IN THE SKY ASLEEP THAT NIGHT?

Puh-leeze. I'm all in favor of vigorous debate . . . but there must be some correllation to reality.

So unless you can explain how all this material slipped away without being captured by SATELLITES, I have to declare it hollowly futile sophistry . . .

Rusty reports that a Polish woman is being held hostage in Iraq. Also blogging: James Joyner, Backcountry...

Peters's case is actually even more damning, not exonerating, of the intelligence (read: lack thereof) before the war. If it takes that much effort to move the explosives - and we were so certain that Saddam was bent on blowing us all up - why the hell didn't we see them moving it and take action prior to the actual commencement of the war?

If your argument is that the facts are being misrepresented by the NYT, CBS and others I think you need to investigate a little further before you make that charge. Having done so myself I find Kerry's charge against Bush accurate.

BTW what does factcheck.com say on this? Anything there yet?

This is yet another in a now long string of cases where the press--especially those two outlets--have put out stories that cast a negative light on Bush only to have them implode within hours of contact with the blogosphere. Either CBS and the NYT are so incredibly incompetent that no one should take them seriously, or they've moved well beyond objectivity and into active partisanship.

James, That kind of commentary I would expect from a radical nutcase. I would never have put you in that category but this gets you close.
