There was a report out about 3 cargo ships
They supposedly left Iraq just when UN 1441 was being passed.
They have supposedly been at high seas since, avoiding going to port.
The story goes that they are filled with baathis party nasty stuff and are instructed to scuttle if boarded or stopped.
There are enough places where you can have a ship meet fuel lighters and get victualed by barge or ship that this is technically feasible, although the crews would be going wild by now.
I have no idea if this is just another of the billion lies on the internet, or if there is some credibility to it.
