Instapundit directs our attention to a JustOneMinute post about the Iraqi nuke plans: The NY Times quotes Peter Zimmerman, who one minute builds a case that this is terribly secret stuff, but has previously opined that the plans were "more of a parts list than a description of a buildable device."

Well, um, which is it?

And I notice the UK's The Register takes the same approach, asserting, in one breath, that the idea Iraq was trying to build "banned weapons" was, of course, absurd...

It was Hoekstra's, Roberts's, and apparently the President's, hope that by disseminating documents recovered from Iraq, some right-wing amateur researcher might eventually find a flaky shred of evidence suggesting that Saddam's regime had been involved in banned weapons production...

... and, in the next breath, assuring us this is precisely the sort of stuff you would use to build those "banned weapons"...

One researcher quoted in the Times article characterised some of the portal's content as a nuclear weapons "cookbook"...

Do these people not even read their own articles?

How badly do you have to hate a group of people before your brain starts to misfire like this?
