I don't personally think they will find WMD at that munitions storage area. Fox broke that a little too early, very ambitious reporting is what I think we will find out. I was reading today that there will be an extensive site survey in the very near future, but preliminary results are a nogo.
This is one of the disadvantages to having embedded journalists. In previous engagements, the gov't would release the info to the press, or they'd have to infer it through "rogue reporters".
Now, being on the front line with live feeds, they hear "chemical weapons plant" and roll with it. In most battles, even the people involved don't sort the facts out until that battle is over, and they sit back and go over it.
