Be Wary Of Initial Tests
Another false-positive test for chemical weapons in Iraq. We've had quite a few of these, and this is the first time I've seen an explanation of why we keep hearing about positive initial tests, then nothing once we bring in the big machines.
By design, initial test procedures favor positive readings, erring on the side of caution to protect soldiers.
