You could not make this up. The comical effort to find Iraq's WMDs in Saddam's pile o' documents has made a new breakthrough, as Powerline's "Hindrocket" excitedly reports. Saddam put the nuclear program in a laundry room:
It Might Not Be Smoking, But It's Getting Awfully Warm
And here are the documents, as translated:
In the Name of God the Most Merciful The Most Compassionate The Republic of Iraq The Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission
To: The Respected Mr. Chairman of the Engineering Department
Subject: Simulation Reactor
An inspection was made to the suggested hall to build the Simulation Reactor and that contain recently laundry equipment (Laundry) and the hall was closed and the location abandoned and neglected for a long time and based on this it requires the following:
1. Remove all the laundry equipments and machines.
2. The structural division should inspect the hall and to repair and remodeling and fortify the building after determining the cost of these works ...
And it goes on from there -- a work order to move something called a "simulation reactor" into a former laundry room. Now, "Hindrocket" hastens to add disclaimers:
I don't know what a "simulation reactor" is, and can't vouch for some of Shahda's interpretations of the documents ... It appears that this set of documents proves beyond reasonable debate that Iraq was carrying out prohibited nuclear work in 2001 and 2002. How serious this breach of the U.N. resolutions was, I can't evaluate, since I have no idea what a "simulation reactor" is
How much more evidence could you want?
