WMD?

While some people are crowing that a shell which might have contained Sarin was discovered in Iraq, I'd caution them that if you were one of the folks who crowed that the mobile hydrogen factories were proof then you should be cautious that even the kings of spin aren't claiming victory:

In Washington, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld cautioned that the sarin results were from a field test, which can be imperfect and more analysis needed to be done.

And also that non-government groups have whipped up Sarin in a bathtub before, there's no particular reason to believe yet that even if this was that particular agent that it existed under Saddam's rule.

I'm not quite ready to give the free pass that Joshua over at the red pages offers up simply because I think we haven't yet gotten to the point of needing that sort of explanation.
