I saw an October 2 associated press article on hindustantimes.com entitled "Kuwait foils smuggling of chemicals, bio warheads from Iraq." I kept looking for it to show up here, but alas and alack. It said a Kuwaiti newspaper reported that authorities foiled an attempt to smuggle $60- mil in chem weapons and warheads. It waid the suspects were watched after they entered Kuwait and later arrested -- and that Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would turn them over to the FBI.

1. Why haven't I seen this anywhere?
2. If it's true, wouldn't this mean one of the misconceptions is in fact held by the writers of the aritcle, and by all of you, rather than by the American people?
I saw that too, and waited to see if it appeared on any other "news" sources.


A question about this study of "misconceptions" I noticed one of the questions was about "clear evidence" By who's standards is the term "clear evidence" used?
Did the asker take into account that their standard maybe differant then the answerer's? ie: The asker may need enough evidence to convict in a court of law, and the answerer may only need enough to convince them that there was a high probibility. It seems the people doing the study tried to take this into account in a study/poll they did in February, but not in this latest study if I read the report right. (page 13 or 14 IIRC)
