Cheney covering up lost nukes?

If this is true, it's rather explosive. In 1991 when he was Secretary of Defense, Cheney violated international law by not reporting two lost nuclear warheads that were somehow taken from a B-52. And these little rascals, apparently small enough to be transported in a SUV, are said to be somewhere in Iran.

I'm not clear on how this is relevant enough to the Scooter Libby trial that he could enter it as evidence but Greg Szymanski's sources have it worked out as part of an elaborate international arms dealing scandal involving money laundering and parties both in the US and Britain, most notably our VP and his unremarked lost nukes. They see it as a strong motivation for the White House to want to stir up trouble in the area in order to be able to search for the lost bombs and a compelling reason to want to plant the yellowcake fiction in the public's mind.

When you look at it in retrospect, it could explain why the White House was so confident about the WMDs. They've been harping on Iran from the git-go but since the nukes are so portable they may have thought to find them Iraq. If not it's a good staging ground to get into Iran and how convenient if they found them. Since they were never reported as missing, they could blame Iran, or Saddam, for building them.

Of course the really frightening part is this means there are two nuclear warheads rolling around and nobody knows where they are or who really has them. Oy vey.
