hydra: A year after Saddam's regime was toppled, a canister of Sarin gas could come from any neighbouring country.
K9: I'm interested as in how Sarin needs to be fired from a gun to mix itself properly. Could you clue me in, since you so obviously researched the topic?
hydra again: Iraq is not a walled off country now. A soda can's worth of nerve agent does not mean that it's obvious Saddam had WMD stockpiles. And a shell with traces of mustard gas could come from anywhere, as well. It would be a little more telling if these had been discovered maybe a year ago and in slightly larger quantities. It barely means anything now. If we had found a room underground stocked with many gallons of nerve agents and other WMDs, those probably would have come from Saddam's regime. But anyone can put a chemical in a soda can aand walk across a border.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
