pharmaceutical I work at a pharmaceutical company. It is an American company. And it is a great company. It is a shining example of what is best about America. Please do not insult my profession and my colleagues by calling that place we bombed a pharmaceutical plant. As someone who knows better, I am certain that nothing but evil was produced there. These are dark times. I withdrew all my cash and I am taking leave of absence, stocking up on supplies and taking my wife and kids to the desert. Best to all here. You are wonderful people. sincerely, Bryan

The aspirin factory was in Sudan. It was hit by cruise missiles at the same time we hit Bin Laden's camp in Afganistan. I don't know of any effect it had. - Fred

Chaz-- help me out [on the pharmaceutical bombing] Apologize if someone else has already cleared up. The pharmaceutical bombing was in the Sudan. Sandy Berger claimed at first that the factory was supplying biochemical weapons to Bin Laden, and then backed off to saying that it was a front-company laundering funds or supporting Bin Laden. No chemical analysis of the soil ever produced evidence that the company was involved in the "medium" production for anthrax as Berger claimed. Bin Laden was at one time active in Sudan before being expelled to Afganistan. This was the result of direct US pressure, which has got to be a singularly dumb move since his movements were so much harder to track in Afganistan. The bombing in the Sudan detonated massive protests and solidified anti-American sentiment among Muslim populations in that part of Africa. From what I gather this virulent feeling is a byproduct of American-backed corrupt governments (Saudis, etc) that exploit their people, American occupation on soil of sacred sites, and deep sense of disenfrancisement and despair. --Judith
