<<< According to a Senate Committee Report of 1994 {1}: From 1985, if not earlier, through 1989, a veritable witch's brew of biological materials were exported to Iraq by private American suppliers pursuant to application and licensing by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Amongst these materials, which often produce slow, agonizing deaths, were: Bacillus Anthracis, cause of anthrax. Clostridium Botulinum, a source of botulinum toxin. Histoplasma Capsulatam, cause of a disease attacking lungs, brain, spinal cord and heart. Brucella Melitensis, a bacteria that can damage major organs. Clotsridium Perfringens, a highly toxic bacteria causing systemic illness. Clostridium tetani, highly toxigenic Also, Escherichia Coli (E.Coli); genetic materials; human and bacterial DNA. Dozens of other pathogenic biological agents were shipped to Iraq during the 1980s. The Senate Report pointed out: "These biological materials were not attenuated or weakened and were capable of reproduction." "It was later learned," the committee revealed, "that these microorganisms exported by the United States were identical to those the United Nations inspectors found and removed from the Iraqi biological warfare program." These exports continued to at least November 28, 1989 despite the fact that Iraq had been reported to be engaging in chemical warfare and possibly biological warfare against Iranians, Kurds, and Shiites since the early 80s. >>> globalpolicy.org Also, this: Message 16522837

<< It was just massacring peasants>> I read about a year ago in Harpers--- An account by a guy enlisted by one of these paramilitary sponsored groups in Colombia---- Basically the modus operendi was,,, If they look poor and down trodden, then shoot-- they are the enemy. This guy ended up switching sides when he saw what they were capable of.. I wonder how many atrocity stories the GI's would fess up to , if asked and relieved of their guilt? PS; I read on my newswire a couple of days after Sept 11, that US troops had been involved in fighting "Rebels" in Colombia. This is party time for the Jingoists..Implementing Fascism doesn't get any easier. Adolph would relish this moment. Sometimes I feel that it's a relay race, and the mantle has been passed on.. The Coup by the Bush Regime-- Oh well , you get my drift. I read a cut up of Chomsky today on some thread---- I couldn't finish it--- Chomsky feels honest to me, and endeavours to be that way.
