        "The analysis ...... suggests, in fact, that Mr. bin Laden and Al
        Qaeda may have been duped by black-market weapons swindlers selling
        crude containers hand-painted with skulls and crossbones and dipped,
        perhaps, in medical waste to fool a Geiger counter, officials said."
        HAHAHAHA!
        \_ Kind of old news but it's nice to see it confirmed.  BTW, anyone
           know how long weapon's grade material takes to degrade?  If someone
           stole X amount of nuke quality stuff in 1992, how much would they
           have left today and how much would it take to build a clean bomb?
        \_ He can't be *that* stupid, can he?  Maybe he's just trying to
           deceive us?
        \_ It's an old story.  This just confirms what was already a really
           good assumption from prior reports.
        \_ and then they could have just left the fake containers to let us
           *think* they were duped.  If it was the real thing, do you think
           they'd really have just abandoned it while they were melting into
           the mountains to fight again another day?
           \_ Nobody said it was the real thing.  What's your point?
           \_ And maybe they did that and we know they know we know and hey
              someone get out the cone of motd silence!  007 you're not, maybe
              86.
