The Associated Press decided the Independence Day holiday weekend was a good time to slip
this story through:
The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program -- a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium -- reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.
The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" -- the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment -- was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy.
We wouldn't want anyone to think Saddam's Iraq had any kind of nuclear capability, would we? Return to your grills and hot dogs people! Nothing to see here!
