Today's Olympian reports an Iraqi scientist, Mehadi Obeidi, has turned over a bunch of documents and components pertaining to nuclear weapons development, which he'd had hidden in his rose garden since 1991. The material indicates that the Iraqi nuclear programme was indeed shut down in the 1990s, but evidently Iraq intended to reconstitute it in the event sanctions and inspections were terminated. The material in Mr. Obeidi's garden would have saved a lot of time and effort in doing so.
