from MediaMatters
Summary: During a segment in which John Gibson and Julie Banderas were speculating on whether there was any truth to the baseless reports and statements from unidentified "experts" that Saddam Hussein's alleged stockpile of weapons of mass destruction had been secretly transported from Iraq to Syria before the Iraq war and "might have been put in the hands of Hezbollah," the onscreen text read: "Are Saddam Hussein's WMDs Now in Hezbollah's Hands?"
On the July 21 edition of Fox News' The Big Story, during a report on the "scary 'what ifs' " surrounding the current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, host John Gibson, along with Fox News' The Big Story Weekend Edition host Julie Banderas, speculated on whether there was any truth to the baseless reports and statements from unidentified "experts" that Saddam Hussein's alleged stockpile of weapons of mass destruction was secretly transported to Syria prior to the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and "might have been put in the hands of Hezbollah." Throughout the segment, the onscreen text read: "Are Saddam Hussein's WMDs Now in Hezbollah's Hands?"
During the report, Banderas endeavored to "separate fact from fiction."
