Gerry, you are quite critical of others news sources; what are your preferred

=======================

A spokeswoman for the International Atomic Energy

Agency said the Rotterdam specimen was scarcely

refined at all from natural uranium ore and may

have come from a known mine in Iraq that was

active before the 1991 Gulf War.



"I wouldn't hype it too much," said spokeswoman

Melissa Fleming. "It was a small amount and it

wasn't being peddled as a sample."



She estimated that the Rotterdam sample contained around 5 pounds of uranium

oxide.
