Editor's note: Each week, WorldNetDaily White House correspondent Les Kinsolving asks the tough questions no one else will ask. And each week, WorldNetDaily brings you the transcripts of those dialogues with the president and his spokesman. If you'd like to suggest a question for the White House, submit it to WorldNetDaily's exclusive interactive forum MR. PRESIDENT!

At today's White House news briefing, WND asked presidential press secretary Ari Fleischer about the Marines' discovery of a tunnel complex under Iraq's Al-Tuwaitha atomic-energy facility and possible weapons-grade plutonium stored there.

WND: Can you provide us, Ari, with any further details on the Pittsburgh-Tribune Review, WorldNetDaily and Fox News story about the extensive tunnel infrastructure under the Al-Tuwaitha nuclear plant and reports of the possible discovery of weapons-grade plutonium?

FLEISCHER: That's a DOD matter, operationally, as they go through Iraq and take a look at the facts that they find and as they evaluate information they receive through their technical teams.

WND reports today that a U.S. investigation is underway to determine whether U.S. Marines guarding the nuclear facility have discovered previously undocumented weapons-grade nuclear material, or low-grade uranium about which United Nations inspectors previously knew.
