You left off the part about the plant being a plain old chlorine and caustic soda plant. Neither chlorine nor caustic soda are in and of themselves weapons. Chlorine is used in a number of innocent, even necessary, processes, such as disinfecting drinking water. Caustic soda is used in laundry, among other things. I've got a bottle of chlorine bleach and a box of caustic soda in my laundry room. Should we tell Hans Blix? So the accusation is that a British company sold dual-use technology to Iraqis when it was not illegal. As Vladimir Lenin used to say, "the capitalist will sell you the very rope you intend to hang him with," which is very far from alleging that the capitalist is a hangman, don't you think?
