"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
I know there's an election coming up, and a lot of important things going on, but this post doesn't really address any of it. It's just a dumb question that I can't help asking:
Having been worried in the face of the Republican counterspin that the explosives story might lose its legs, I posted below that the connection between the explosives and nuclear proliferation was the best angle to keep the story moving forward. But this morning, I read, from no less than weapons inspections Numero Uno David Kay, that the RDX and HMX are not considered WMDs, and their loss is not a nuclear proliferation issue.
Why did the IAEA even bother with the stuff? Why did they single it out of all the other weapons at Al Qaqaa for inspections and seals? It doesn't add up. posted by David at 10/29/2004 10:04:00 AM ::
