It would appear from the story being presented by KTSP that the President's "It was gone before we got there" excuse for the Al-QaQaa fiasco has been dealt a kick in the pants. Apparently KTSP had a reporter embedded with the 101st Airborne Division, and they visited an area around Al-QaQaa. They found lots of explosives.

The news crew was based just south of Al Qaqaa, and drove two or three miles north of there with soldiers on April 18, 2003.

During that trip, members of the 101st Airborne Division showed the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS news crew bunker after bunker of material labelled "explosives." Usually it took just the snap of a bolt cutter to get into the bunkers and see the material identified by the 101st as detonation cords.

"We can stick it in those and make some good bombs." a soldier told our crew.
In one bunker, there were boxes marked with the name "Al Qaqaa", the munitions plant where tons of explosives allegedly went missing.

Once the doors to the bunkers were opened, they weren't secured. They were left open when the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew and the military went back to their base.

They were at the sites 9 days after the fall of Saddam Hussein. That refutes the claim that they were hidden before the invasion.
