Secret haul of 550 tons of "yellowcake" from Iraq to Canada

No, this is the stuff the UN knew about. Uranium yellowcake is processed into power stations and nuke bombs. It was kept under UN seal - the inspectors put their own lock on it.

This was the stuff Bush said they were looking to buy more of in Africa?

So they've secretly moved roughly 1,200,000 pounds of the stuff, worth about $20/lb when he bought it, worth about $100/lb today. Nice return on investment.
