Cutting through the crapstorm, NBC reported from the front that the explosives were gone when our troops got there. This was also mentioned in the article Donald linked to below. An anonymous Pentagon official, also quoted in Donald's link, says they were there. Other anonymous Pentagon officials (again, in that same article) say they may be hidden elsewhere, and that such explosives have not been used against us as yet.
So, there it is. I report, you decide. Now, party on, dudes.
It's interesting that these explosives now occupy exactly the same position as the tons of known supplies of WMD that Iraq had years ago that were never properly accounted for and never located. Odd that one is believed to be highly dangerous, and the other irrelevant.
Apparently 60 Minutes was going to run with this one Sunday night before it started falling apart. Saved by the skin of their teeth.
