2. Story will never see the light of day
Indimedia stories never seem to make it to the corporate media, which is where more people still get their news.

4. Was noticing that the URL's
tinyurl.* takes you to the actual stories when they were released

this one from the Washington Post and one from the NYT

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A17888-2003Mar12?language=printer

Also, Thom Hartmann had a caller today that says he has a friend that he is going to hook Thom up with that just came back from Iraq or somewhere(my bad) who says an English Murdoch newspaper is going to release a story on about Aug 30th regarding 7 WMD's being found in Iraq.

Might be worth keeping an eye on.

7. The original article was in the Kuwait Times
and that made it clear that the radioactive material was being transported, byt the US Army, from Iraq into Kuwait. The Kuwaqiti customs officers turned it back.

Here's a thread about it at the time:

Truck carrying radioactive material sent back

KUWAIT: Informed sources said the customs department released three out of four trucks it had impounded since Thursday after suspicion they were carrying radioactive material from Iraq to Kuwait for the US Army. The trucks were driven by four Indians. Sources said it was found that three trucks did not contain any radioactive matter, while the fourth was found to be carrying a container of highly radioactive substance. Customs officials refused to open the truck, and insisted that it not move before American military personnel and Kuwaiti security officers arrive at the scene. Sources said the American Army warned against opening the container and asked that it be allowed proceed, but the officers refused. The sources said that is was then agreed to send the truck out of Kuwait to where it came from despite the US army's objections.
