I've read what the mainstream media has to say about this ad naseum. Notice he says "not solid". He doesn't say it was "false" information on the germ in ANY publication. Not solid means unsure, in that it fits the dual-purpose use category to a T.
If you remember, these trailers were being propped up as smoking guns on WMD activity in Iraq early on in the war. When they turned up "bleached" and cleaned of any contaminants, it all became circumstantial at that point.
You could haul hydrogen tanks to fill artillery ballons up on the back of a pickup truck or a small 2-wheeled trailer; you damn-sure don't need a trailer as large as the one they were using. You also don't need fermentation and lab equipment in these trailers, either.
Why was fermentation equipment on board, then? Don't ignore the question; answer it. Why were centerfuges found on some of these trailers as well? You don't need to spin hydrogen at any rate to use it...
The FACT is that everything had been scrubbed rather well and that no agents of any kind could be found. I seem to recall that apart from cleaning agents, baking soda and piss were pretty much the only two substances that could be determined from one of the examinations...
Why would someone go to the trouble of cleaning a hydrogen-hauling trailer if it didn't also act as a carrier for something else?
It still doesn't change the fact that a number of defectors/informers from different areas in Iraq had seperately described those type of trailers as being used as toxin labs.
We still don't have a smokin gun on them as no agents ever cropped up out of the one's we got our hands on.
Again, I'll trust Iraqi defectors/informers over someone selling press any day of the year. I'll aslo trust in the opinions of those who have been in Iraq and have done intel work for a living...
