The snip below seems to be the important part from the Yahoo link. (Bolding mine)

> “Until our inspectors return to Iraq, the U.S. has responsibility for maintaining security at this important storage facility,” he said in a statement. “As soon as circumstances permit, the IAEA should return to verify that there been no diversion of this material.”  
> ElBaradei did not directly respond to unconfirmed reports that radiation may be leaking from the complex 18 miles south of Baghdad.  
> \*\*But he made it clear that the site is well-known to the nuclear agency, suggesting there was little to document the notion that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was actively pursuing nuclear weapons there or that the Marines had uncovered anything new. \*\*  
> High radiation levels are normal at the site, “and great care must be taken” when entering storage buildings, the IAEA said.

Better yet, buy a book from the SD. Just maybe, your purchase might be the one that gives them the wherewithall to buy a new server to help with the increased load here. We can always hope.
