Wingnuts are freaking out because of the “discovery” in Iraq of a supply of uranium that has been monitored and sealed by the IAEA since the 1980s. This “discovery” is supposed to have vindicated a variety of assertions regarding Iraq’s nuclear weapons program. Degroot and Mahablog have the rundown. It’s nice to know that Right Blogistan can still surprise you; writing exhibiting this degree of lack of technical sophistication, ignorance of basic facts, and disregard for the most basic elements of a logical argument should embarrass a sixth grader.
