We have a lot of civilians working in Military food prep. Let's hope we are checking them. NYT Plot to Poison Food of British Troops Is Suspected By JAMES RISEN with DON VAN NATTA Jr. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 ? Islamic militants arrested in Britain this month may have been plotting to lace the food supply on at least one British military base with the poison ricin, according to American government officials. The revelations raised concerns in Britain and the United States about the security of allied forces as war preparations continue. American officials said they had received intelligence reports showing that the British authorities suspect that a group of militants arrested there in a series of raids may have been trying to gain access to the food supply on at least one military base in the United Kingdom. British officials found traces of ricin in a London apartment where the first arrests were made in the case. "It's a very live theory," said one American law enforcement official familiar with the information from the British. American officials said the reports showed that one of the suspects worked for a food preparation company and had been in contact with individuals who worked on at least one British military base. The United States officials said they did not know the identity of the suspect. They said they also did not know which British military base or bases might have been targets of the plot. Officials cautioned that the assessment is a working theory among British investigators, and that conclusive evidence had not yet been obtained. nytimes.com

michael he wasn't always a committed hardline communist. He proposed to model vietnam after america expecting that vietnam would be liberated from the horrible french occupation after WWII. My boyfriend, a rightwinger to the core gave me this information. His uncle was a fighter pilot in WWII who along with his buddies owed their lives to the Vietnamese. Allegedly the French govt controlling Vietnam pre and during WWII was pro-Nazi and they were deplorable to the Vietnamese. They were also cozy with the Japanese. One day, the Japanese turned on the French troops slaughtering the resistors and even those who surrendered. Ho Chi Minh went to China for help against the Japanese and at grave risk to themselves, the Vietnamese helped Americans.
