According to this Reuters article, "Authorities believe the uranium came from an eastern European country".

But look at their own picture, and you'll see that the uranium case says, "Made in W. Germany"!
Not only was it made in west Germany, but it is written in english, implying it was made for the U.S. or U.K.! Don't let George Bush and Tony Blair get away with using this as an excuse to push the world into their bloody war for oil!

apparently, authorities in turkey have released the two men detained, saying there is not enough evidence to hold them.

the timing of this stinks like shit. how "perfect". and if it were so serious, why are the men being released?

Okay, so the container says "made in W. Germany". What does that prove? Germany makes ... containers?

And how do you know who it was "made for"? FYI Germany has it's own nuclear industry, as do most major countries.

I have a plastic cottage cheese container in my garage. It contains some miscellaneous nuts, bolts, washers and nails. I guess that must mean they come from a dairy.

Christ, dough-heads like you, no wonder the left wing is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Be careful you don't step on any rakes -- there's a good chap.

And what does the Blair dossier or Bush's fake references to reports that don't exist prove???
How'd you think these people trying to smuggle the uranium in would have it read? Baghdad COD?

ANKARA, Turkey -- Atomic energy officials said Monday that a substance seized by police near the Syrian border was not weapons-grade uranium as Turkish officials first reported, according to the Anatolia news agency.

Atomic Energy Institute chief Guler Koksal said the material was harmless, containing zinc, iron, zirconium and manganese.

Just some smugglers trying to make a dishonest buck, it seems.

What was that about boycotting Germany?

Meanwhile, we still have Ukrainian military radar sold to Iraq. Funny, Washington isnt threatening to bomb Ukraine.

Must be the massive Ukrainian military machine; Washington doesn't dare invoke that wrath. Couldn't POSSIBLY be an ulterior motive against Iraq and the foreign leader who "tried to assassinate my dad!". (Nevermind that Dubya just a few months ago promoted the legalization of assassination by the CIA, nor that the CIA and countless US Army School of the Americas graduates have been doing assassinations for decades.)
