Whoops. Those weren't Iranian weapons

It's funny how after his breathless and unchallenging reporting last week, NYTimes/Bush administration figure Michael Gordon didn't report this.

A plan to show some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists last week in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after the United States realized none of them was from Iran. A U.S. military spokesman attributed the confusion to a misunderstanding that emerged after an Iraqi Army general in Karbala erroneously reported the items were of Iranian origin.
