Uh-oh … The head of the Iraqi Science Ministry’s site monitoring department says there’s no way the explosives were snagged from al Qaqaa before the former regime fell.

“It is impossible that these materials could have been taken from this site before the regime’s fall,” Mohammed al-Sharaa told the AFP. “The officials that were inside this facility (Al-Qaqaa) beforehand confirm that not even a shred of paper left it before the fall and I spoke to them about it and they even issued certified statements to this effect which the US-led coalition was aware of.”

Does this guy have an axe to grind? Is he biased? I can’t say I know anything about him. But if he’s some Baathist or dead-ender why is he the guy in charge of protecting these sites now?

And how about those certified statements issued to coalition officials?

Which ones?

This may even convince CNN …
