Chemical weapons found?

Heard on NPR that there are reports that rockets loaded with Sarin and Mustard gas have been found in a warehouse south of Baghdad. Have not seen anything on line yet about this.

Knight-Ridder is reporting it, as well.

I just heard on Fox a Iraqi POW led them to the chemical weapons.

I am sure there is alot more.

Yahoo is saying that it is just pesticide.

SARIN is a pesticide or was first developed for that purpose. It was only an accident that it became a chemical weapon.

We used to practice NBC training in the Army using Army issue Pesticide in a spray can. We found you could spray the chemical paper that was used and it would turn the same shade as nerve agent. I think all that stuff is made the same way.
