Has anyone heard what happened with the possible chemical plant? Is it in fact a chemical weapons plant? I havent seen anything on tv today about this at all.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wonder why this hasn't been all over the board. I mean, it seems like a big deal right? Conservatives all up in a lather about the smoking gun and all.

I think every news agency who jumped on this story with "Chemical Weapons Plant Found", needs to put a huge retraction on its page. In the original stories, the intelligence said it was too early to tell, but they jumped on it anyway.

Its this kind of wrongful information that is spurring a lot of people to be pro-war, and leaving out a retraction means most of the people will go on believing we have the proof for the war (not saying intel doesn't or what, but proof in the eyes of the public)

Uhhh....it was initially reported "suspected" everywhere I saw. When it turned out not to be, CNN had it on the front page, Central Command said it at a briefing, and plenty of other news outlets reported it. What more do you want?????
