What do you think? Are they nuclear sites or not?

Talk about a nicely ambiguous news story. One that likes to rattle the cage and highlight the drama. That and I've gotten poll-happy today.

U.N. Nuclear Experts Detect Changes at Iraqi Sites

By Irwin Arieff

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. experts studying satellite photos of Iraq have identified new construction at several sites linked in the past to Baghdad's development of nuclear weapons, U.N. officials said Friday.

But the experts said they could not draw any conclusions on the significance of the changes at these sites until U.N. weapons inspectors can get in to see them on the ground.

"We see changes on the ground. But we don't draw any conclusions," said Mark Gwozdecky of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Vienna-based nuclear regulatory arm of the United Nations.

"Until you get inspectors on the ground, you cannot tell what the purpose of the construction is," Gwozdecky said in a telephone interview.

Another official with the agency, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters, "from the satellite photos, you can see that there are new buildings, but you can't get into the buildings."

Obviously it's a pretty big issue if Saddam is starting his nuclear weapons program up again.

Do you think, based on what you see here, that he is? Or do you think he isn't? Why do you think that? If he is, what should be done about it? Why?

We should take a look inside one way or another. Either open the door and let us see or we will make our own door, thank you very much. Doesn't matter to me which method we use.
