WMDs where inspectors can't find them

...At sea.

Each with a deadweight of 35,000 to 40,000 tonnes, the ships have been sailing around the world's oceans for the past three months while maintaining radio silence in clear violation of international maritime law, say authoritative shipping industry sources.

The vessels left port in late November, just a few days after UN weapons inspectors led by Hans Blix began their search for the alleged Iraqi arsenal on their return to the country.


Will longer and more drastic inspections work?

Not if the weapons aren't in Iraq.

(Rumors also have some weapons moving to Syria, the story notes, but these are just rumors. I'll just say this isn't the first time I've heard those rumors...)
