#2 Consider the source. Is this the one thing they do get correct? Or is this disinformation intended to intimidate the remaining nuclear engineers?

#4 Mrs. Davis, I've seen news stories from other sources in the past about Iraqi scientists being killed, mostly to blame the US for not protecting them. Seems like they didn't want protection and during questioning denied any recent work on WMDs. It sounds credible, either they are being killed to prevent them from talking or as reprisal for working for Saddam. Some may be staged by us (or other parties) in order for them to disapear. That's just a wild guess on my part.

#5 Seems like a lot of them have been taking a dirt nap. May be time to ask for witness protection and sing.

#6 I still remain sceptical as I would expect MSM would seize on this as yet more evidence of the administration's failure.

#7 Actually, Mrs. D, the MSM won't and hasn't seized on this as it might prove that there were WMDs in Iraq and they can't have that!

#8  I would expect MSM would seize on this as yet more evidence of the administration's failure.

To do that would admit Saddam had nuclear physicists. Agree with Jen on that point.

#9 "... Agence France Presse (AFP) who quoted the man’s brother. ‘Ala’ Tawqi Husayn at-Taliqani (40 years old) had worked in the nuclear field since 1984."

Forgive me, but accepting/printing an arab man's story of the recent asassination of his supposedly brilliant close relative is to journalism what bathroom graffiti is to poetry.
