Reporters and talking heads on the networks are quick to caution that the field tests have been known to register false-positives and that more testing is required. Fair enough and good for the networks. However, there are a couple reasons to believe this will pan out as real. First, US troops were tipped-off about the location by an Iraqi POW. Second, US troops had physical reactions totally consistent with the chemicals they are reported to have found (according to a former weapons inspector they just interviewed on Fox). Third, these chemicals were found on a military site, so whatever civilian-sector chemicals they might be confused for, they weren’t found at a civilian site.
