Research Professor of Astronomy and History of Science Owen Gingerich said he remembered Hawkins from his work at the Harvard-Smithsonian Observatories, where Hawkins was the scientist in charge of the Harvard Radio Meteor Project. Hawkins was “looking for radar echoes off the meteors,” to ascertain their height and velocity and thus be able to find meteor showers in the daytime...

The International Atomic Energy Agency investigated and pooh-poohed the claim - the centrifuge parts revealed as having been buried under the rosebush of a Baghdad scientist since 1991 certainly show that Saddam had a decade earlier squirreled away components to allow him to restart a program at some point in the future, but also, perhaps, that this had not been done by the time of the invasion. The IAEA inspectors had concluded in March...
