By your own article, you are suggesting that the explosives were removed sometime between March 16th and April 2nd and not removed sometime between April 3rd and May 8th.
It would hardly be difficult for any insurgency to remove them after April 3rd - all it takes is knowledge of the whereabouts (and we know that many in the insurgency, particularly at the start, were Saddam military) and some trucks. Hardly a mission requiring a high degree of organization on the part of the insurgents.
Jonjon42 - also note that the NBC reporter has already stated that she has no idea if the explosives were still there because the troops she was with did not search the facility.
