So, how did they know it was poisoned? <a story a friend told me of passing an old Vietnamese man who offered the soldiers poisoned coke. They realized by his demeanor something was wrong. They poured the soda to the ground and walked away, tired of the killing.> Karen, What poison was it? Were they carrying a chemistry kit? You shouldn't believe all the stories you hear. Sure, it might have been poisoned, [I'd be reluctant to accept drinks], but suspicion doesn't make it so. There was recently the Scott Ritter story about how he accepted tea despite knowing and saying to the guy offering it that he was known for putting thallium in tea. He apparently went up in the guy's estimation by accepting the tea. Poisoning one or two of a bunch of soldiers wouldn't be too bright though - unless one was sick of life. Mqurice
