FULL OF HOT AIR
Remember those "mobile biological weapons labs" Iraq was supposed to have? US forces seized a couple of Saddam's WMD camper vans after the war.
"US and UK technical experts have concluded that the unit does not appear to perform any function beyond what the defector said it was for, which was the production of biological agents," crowed Pentagon intelligence chief Steve Cambone at the time (Source: BBC News Online).
WRONG!
The New York Times now reports that "Engineering experts from the Defense Intelligence Agency have come to believe that the most likely use for two mysterious trailers found in Iraq was to produce hydrogen for weather balloons rather than to make biological weapons."
Keep looking guys. Those WMDs must be there somewhere....mustn't they?
