A Cautionary Disarmament Wall Street Journal, January 31, 2003, p.A9 "US officials recently touted South Africa as a nation that willingly gave up its weapons of mass destruction. But the story isn't over: The fate of South Africa's chemical and biological warfare program remains a source of international contention eight years after it was officially decommissioned. US and British officials, as well as non-proliferation experts, are alarmed by mounting evidence that germs and other substances developed by apartheid-era scientists are still being stored-and possibly transferred out of the country-in violation of South Africa's treaty obligations. The difficulty of tracking these agents illustrates the perils of existing stocks not just in SOuth Africa, but also in Iraq and other countries that possess such programs." len
