Iraqi Scientists...

[Siwy]

So what happened to all those scientists who supposedly weren't able to talk freely under Saddam's regime? Three months after US secured control over Iraq and still not even one scientist revealed where WMD are hidden? Could they still be afraid to talk freely? What do you all think?

I think they plan on looking in the oil for them.

Hunt for Saddam intensifies

"...
The issue of Saddam Hussein's continuing influence in Iraq is as much about symbolism as it is about whether he is still in any kind of position to direct attacks on the coalition forces.

This was true for Uday and Qusay.

Few believed they were actually able to send gunmen out onto the streets, certainly not in any co-ordinated way.

But they were so feared that many Iraqis felt they could not rule out that they could one day face retribution for supporting the coalition.

Uday and Qusay Hussein died in the gunfight

Those fears will presumably have subsided now but for some people they may not disappear until Saddam Hussein has been silenced.

I thought some of the scientists said they were destroyed a long time ago?

One report suggested that the Iraqi scientists were continually exaggerating or even actually falsifying the developments of the so-called Weapons Of Mass Destruction in order to appease Saddam Hussein.

The US is claiming that they are beating the lie detectors tests LOL.

US GOV: Where are the WMD?
Scientist: We never had any. (Passes lie detector test)
US GOV: LIAR!
