...precise answer. The International Atomic Energy Agency dismantled 40 nuclear-research facilities before the U.N. inspectors left Iraq, including three uranium-enrichment sites. Prior to the inspections, Saddam's stealthiness had been so effective that none of the 40 were known to the outside world. Clearly, Iraq was on its way to becoming a nuclear power. Without ground inspections, those who track Iraq's nuclear development have had to rely on interviews with recent defectors and surveys of suppliers Baghdad has contacted seeking parts.

Prior to conducting these trials, extensive animal research had shown that the doses to be used would not harm the participants. As expected, the trials did not result...

Investigators had convinced Baker to wear a recording device to record the potential "confession." She told the court on Friday that she lied at the prompting of the investigators, telling Littleton he had once before admitted to the murder during the car trip in 1984 when he had blacked out from being drunk...
