U.S. shuts Web site said to reveal nuclear guide: report
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 10:07 AM by denverbill
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government has shut down a Web site it set up in March containing documents captured during the
Iraq war after experts raised concerns it offered a guide to building an atom bomb, the New York Times reported.

It said the Bush administration started the site under pressure from congressional Republicans who hoped to use the Internet to find new evidence of dangers posed by former Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

In recent weeks, according to the Times, the site posted documents that weapons experts said contained detailed accounts of Iraq's secret nuclear research before the 1991
Gulf War that one diplomat called "a cookbook" for building an atom bomb.

Nice. Bush posts information on the web telling terrorists how to build a nuke in a lame attempt to justify the war.
