The Only Empty Warheads...

After the discovery of four more empty missile shells in Iraq this weekend, one blogger wrote, "The only empty warheads are in Washington." How true. In fact, warheads is the wrong term, according to William Rivers Pitt, author of War on Iraq. In a letter to CNN last week, Pitt wrote that: they're artillery munitions, not warheads; that former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter says they were included in Iraq's December declaration; and they're likely a kind of missile allowed under UN sanctions. How come CNN doesn't report this kind of stuff?

On a related note, Take Back the Media posts an actual photo of said "warheads" (all cruddy and rusted out) along with a Fox News graphic of sleek, devastating-looking missiles (click here, then scroll down).
