People sure are enjoying helping themselves to Saddam's chemical weapons complexes (or is it complices?).  Much of this equipment is "dual use" though, so it's possible that insurgent industrialists and rogue utilities barons are simply hoarding supplies in a plan to re-establish the Iraqi infrastructure.  (HT: GOP Bloggers)

Significant quantities of missing material were also located at the Fallujah II and Fallujah III facilities north of the city, which was besieged last year.

Before the first Gulf War in 1991, those facilities played a major part in the production of precursors for Iraq's chemical warfare program.
