Where's the nukes?

In a press conference with Tony Blair on September 7th, Blair cited a new report from the International Atomic Energy Agency showing new activity at an Iraqi nuclear installation. 

"The point that I would emphasize to you is that the threat from Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction, chemical, biological, potentially nuclear weapons capability, that threat is real. We only need to look at the report from the International Atomic Agency this morning showing what has been going on at the former nuclear weapons sites to realize that. And the policy of inaction is not a policy we can responsibly subscribe to. So the purpose of our discussion today is to work out the right strategy for dealing with this, because deal with it we must. "

That same day, the IAEA's spokesman said there was no new report.

Now, the same agency is saying the "Iraq could have a nuke in 6 months" conclusion drawn by Bush and friend is based on another non-existant report

""We've never put a time frame on how long it might take Iraq to construct a nuclear weapon in 1998," said the spokesman of the agency charged with assessing Iraq's nuclear capability for the United Nations."

Oops.  Is anyone at the Whitehouse (or 10 Downing Street for that matter) doing research?
