When a body gets dumped and buried in some remote section of forest, does its discovery come as a result of some search?
No, because that barely happens.
It gets discovered, 99 times out of 100, because someone tells them where it is.
Now you can be very certain that every name on any document relating to weapons programs has been summarily rounded up, and the neccessary pressure to talk has been applied.
How many people are we talking about here... 100's? 1,000's?
And *NOBODY* has talked?
As far as I can tell about the ME, a high premium on loyalty aint happenin. So the question is, how could not one person have spoken up?
The answer is a lot like the reason why Iraq didn't reveal its WMD to the world.
They weren't there.
