Well, well, well.....

UPDATE: CBC actually reports it!!. Scaled down, mind you. Read the comments. Typical CBC brainwashed loons.

Original post starts here:

Look what the blogosphere just broke:

US removes uranium from Iraq

"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. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions."
[snip]
"The Iraqi government sold the yellowcake to a Canadian uranium producer, Cameco Corp., in a transaction the official described as worth “tens of millions of dollars.” A Cameco spokesman, Lyle Krahn, declined to discuss the price, but said the yellowcake will be processed at facilities in Ontario for use in energy-producing reactors.

“We are pleased … that we have taken (the yellowcake) from a volatile region into a stable area to produce clean electricity,” he said."
[snip]
"The deal culminated more than a year of intense diplomatic and military initiatives — kept hushed in fear of ambushes or attacks once the convoys were under way: first carrying 3,500 barrels by road to Baghdad, then on 37 military flights to the Indian Ocean atoll of Diego Garcia and finally aboard a U.S.-flagged ship for a 8,500-mile trip to Montreal."
I first read about it a few minutes ago here and here.

Anyone heard or read this on CBC yet? Let me count the ways this will be spun.

And I missed this one. Posted about five weeks ago: Mass grave, tons of chemicals, 44 rockets and a partridge in a pear tree

"Scaled down, mind you"

It's practically the same article you linked from Yahoo, both Yahoo and the CBC used the Associated Press report.

Geez Louise, you just have a hate on for the CBC

You got that right. If I didn't have to pay for it with my taxes, I wouldn't give a shit what they say.
