Increasing Evidence that Gulf War Sydrome may be result of CB Warfare
Experiments
By our Gulf War Cover-up Correspondent



Angus Parker lounging in front of 1FLU vehicle during Gulf war









"THE air raid siren went off." Former RAF corporal Richie Turnbull
wheezed and coughed as he spoke. He is one of tens of thousands of Gulf
War vets who have been diagnosed with a fistful of illnesses attributed
to his service in the Gulf War. These include emphysema, angina, asthma,
arteriosclerosis, arthritis, short term memory loss, muscle wasting,
cough syncope and numerous other debilitating ailments. Before
deployment to the Gulf, Turnbull was an accomplished and superbly fit
sub-aqua diver. Today, he walks with the aid of canes - slowly.

With understandable pride he told me how he had "proved Soames to be a
liar three times." The reference was to the former Conservative Minister
of State for the Armed Forces, the Honourable Nicholas Soames MP. Many
vets uncharitably call the former Minister "Fatty Soames" owing to his
handsome girth. The appellation reflects the seething contempt of an
individual who Vets regard as one of the principal architects of a
monstrous transatlantic cover-up.

Turnbull was a Senior RAF Electrician in a Nuclear, Biological &
Chemcial (NBC) unit, and an experienced instructor on NBC equipment. He
was stationed at the giant military base located at Dhahran on the night
of 20 January 1991, when air raid sirens began wailing madly. Incoming
Scud missiles were detected and a nearby US Patriot battery fired off
intercept missiles. One of the missiles downed the Scud which landed a
mere 400 yards from Turnbull. The impact left an 8 foot deep crater but,
curiously, the giant ground to ground missile did not explode. "All the
nerve agents detectors sounded the alarm," Turnbull recalls. As a NBC
expert he ran three tests which confirmed the presence of "G agent,"
otherwise known as Sarin - the deadly nerve agent developed by the
Nazi�s in WW11. Turnbull ran a further three "Residual Vapour Detector
Tests," which also showed the presence of nerve agents. In all, he says,
"33 items of equipment showed that "chemical weapons had been detected."

NBC Condition black was sounded and everyone on the base rushed to don
their NBC "Noddy" suits. Incredibly, twenty minutes later an all clear
siren (NBC condition white) sounded and troops removed their protective
clothing accordingly. Twenty minutes later NBC condition black sounded
again, and remained in force for a further 8 hours. Turnbull, who says
he is "absolutely certain it was a chemical weapon attack," is
understandably angry. Sounding the all clear when nerve agents were
shown to be present was "the biggest cock-up in history," he said.
Hundreds of troops were needlessly exposed to Sarin, he believes.

Turnbull continues to be a thorn in the side of Britain�s Ministry of
Defence and the US Department of Defense. Both maintain that chemical
weapons were not intentionally used by Saddam Hussein. A spokesman at
the Ministry of Defence had earlier told me that he was a Royal Navy
officer and was "in theatre" during the Gulf War. He went on to
personally assure me that had the Iraqi�s intentionally used CB weapons
"we would have retaliated in kind" - an allusion to President Bush�s
threat to retaliate with a nuclear strike if Saddam Hussein unleashed
his prodigious chemical armoury on coalition troops. In the event it was
an empty threat� old-fashioned political rhetoric dished out for the
folks at home.

CHEMICAL ATTACKS OR COCK-UP?

Faced with mounting evidence of chemical weapon exposure by coalition
troops, both the British and US governments belatedly acknowledge that
chemical weapon dumps were bombed - or otherwise destroyed - by
coalition forces. They even acknowledge that the resulting plume of
toxic material, blown by the wind, is likely to have exposed many
thousands of coalition troops to these deadly agents. An unforeseen
accident in other words. This admission is known in intelligence
parlance as a "limited hangout" - a technique designed to show that they
are now telling the truth. They are not.

Pat Eddington, a former CIA intelligence analyst in his book "Gassed in
the Gulf" scathingly uncovers the institutionalised dishonesty within
the CIA and the Department of Defence over GWS. Reasonably, he argues
that based on the increasing number of Vets prepared to speak of their
experiences, it is clear - beyond all doubt - that coalition forces came
under a series of Iraqi Chemical and Biological weapon attacks. Like
Admiral Nelson placing a telescope over his blind eye then exclaiming he
can "see no ships," the Mandarins in Whitehall and Washington are
wilfully blind to what they don�t care to acknowledge. Yet, the evidence
is overwhelming.

Ray Bristow had served 20 years with the Territorial Army. When not
involved with his TA duties, Bristow was an operating theatre technician
at his local hospital. He was mobilised on 27 December 1990, promoted to
a Warrant Officer, and sent to the 32 Field Hospital located at Wadi Al
Batin, just a few kilometres away from the town of Hafir Al Batin. On
the 19 January 1991 he and other personnel watched as a Scud missile
roared overhead and exploded in an airburst. He could clearly see a
cloud of vapour discharge from the Scud. The NBC alarms scattered around
the base, known as NAIADS, wailed loudly, alerting the troops of "NBC
Condition Black." "We were Scudded," Bristow said, and the specialised
equipment detected the presence of chemical agents.

Also present at Wadi Al Batin that evening was former Sergeant Shaun
Rusling. Previously with 23 Para Regiment�s 5 Airborne Field Ambulance,
Rusling was an experienced Special Forces medic. His duties were to
attend to the sick and wounded of Britain�s One Armoured Brigade. This
soon grew to encompass caring for other coalition forces and Iraqi
casualties too. He watched the Scud explosion and saw the cloud of
vapour bloom overhead. He also believes the unit came under artillery
attack with rounds containing chemical weapons. Numerous boxes of 155 mm
chemical ammunition were secretly recovered by coalition troops in the
Kuwait Theatre of Operations (KTO) during the ground war and subsequent
mopping-up operations. Made in the USA they had been supplied to Iraq v
ia Jordan.

Nor were Scud and artillery bombardments isolated incidents. Terry
Walker was a Corporal with the Royal Army Ordnance Corp and detached to
a "Forward Repair Group" of an armoured workshop. He was present at Al
Jubayl when two Scuds exploded above them. No prior warning was sounded.
This, he recalls was the "worst morning with two almighty explosions
above the Port ." Immediately Chemical detectors madly sounded NBC
Condition Black, and was "followed by sheer panic with hundreds of guys
running for cover." Walker hid among the rocks of the Port "for about
four five hours." Later, "an officer came along saying we�ve been hit
with chemical agents." The next day he and the other personnel on the
base were told the cloud vapour was nothing more than aircraft fuel le
aking from a damaged plane - an explanation he and the others
disbelieve. Aviation fuel does not trigger the NAIAD detectors. Today,
Walker suffers from a number of illnesses and strongly believes there
has been a massive cover-up. "My wife is ill and my little girl is ill
too," he said during a telephone interview, then added that his "medical
notes from the RAF hospital have gone missing."

The Al Jubayl attack was also witnessed by Sergeant Major Paul Grant who
commanded a team of Royal Army Ordnance Corp specialists. On the early
hours of 19 January 1991, Grant was awoken by a distinctive overhead
explosion. He is in no doubt, whatsoever, that this was an airburst, not
a ground explosion. NAIADS detectors began sounding NBC Condition Black.
The first explosion was followed by a second airburst explosion. Around
the base loudspeakers warned "this is not a drill." His story
corroborates that of other Vets I have interviewed. Scud chemical
attacks were not limited to Al Jubayl.

Yet despite this testimony these and other Vets continue to be treated
with official contempt. As recently as January 1997, the Countess of Mar
posed a Parliamentary question in the House of Lords which asked if the
MoD had any "documentary evidence of chemical warfare" in the Gulf
conflict. A curious question which was limited only to "chemical
attack." Questions regarding the use of "biological" weapons remain
unutterable. In his reply, the Earl Howe stated that research conducted
by the MoD "does not indicate any confirmed use of chemical warfare
agents during the conflict." It is an even more curious answer. Who,
conceivably could "confirm" the use of chemical weapons other than those
trained soldiers - present during a chemical attack?" Likewise, the tens
of thousands of "detection�s" triggered by chemical agent detectors
throughout the conflict are simply categorised as "alleged detection�s,"
which were "uncorroborated at the time." Again, a careful and deceitful
choice of words.

But behind the intentional use of chemical agents by Iraq lurks a far
more sinister story. Hitherto, it has not being told in any detail.
Biological weapons, unlike chemical agents, don�t just kill on the
battlefield. Survivors returning home carry with them the potential
seeds of destruction. These, in turn, can infect the families of Gulf
War vets - a fact that is now occurring.

Importantly, the British and US governments were well aware of the
potential use of both chemical and biological weapons by Saddam Hussein.
They had, after all, supplied him with the wherewithal to develop his
ferocious CB armoury. This included sophisticated equipment together
with the necessary chemical precursors and biological cultures. This
knowledge led the British and US governments to vaccinate their troops
with a "cocktail" designed to protect them against both chemical and
biological attack. Vaccines given to coalition troops included amongst
others Anthrax, Botulism and Bubonic Plague . Cultures for all three had
been supplied to Iraq by the US government during the middle-late 1980�s
for use in their CB weapons programme.

BIO WEAPONS & THE SECRET TEAM

"British personnel were infected with Anthrax spores." Angus Parker
spoke with quiet certainty. I had interviewed a number of Gulf War
veterans who recounted their experiences of coming under chemical and
biological (CB) attack from the Iraqi�s. All are angry and frustrated at
the stonewalling attitude of Britain�s Ministry of Defence regarding
their numerous illnesses which fall under the catch-all banner of Gulf
War Syndrome. Eventually, one vet had given me a telephone number saying
"You should speak to Angus."

Initially Parker was cautious, but after a few minutes warmed to his
story. Methodically, he first outlined for me the existing Soviet
battlefield doctrine associated with Scud missiles armed with Chemical
and Biological weapons. This is known, Parker said as "a mixed load."
The Scud warhead would typically consist of a combination of explosives,
chemical and biological agents of mixed intensities. The explosive would
be small, but sufficient to ensure that the CB mixture would form a wide
vapour plume over the target. The bulk of the warhead would contain a
deathly cocktail of Chemical and Biological weapons.

A former soldier in the Territorial Army, Parker operated for a top
secret British unit. He has never before gone on record with the
following story, but frustration mixed with growing anger has led him
to, in his own words "blow this wide open."

Following the Injection of 12 vaccines in one morning, Parker reacted to
them. As a result he was hospitalised and his deployment to the Gulf
delayed. "I was left behind and got out on the last days of the ground
war," he said. This and his civilian occupation as a technician in a
haematology lab resulted in being attached to the "1st Field Laboratory
Unit," known as "The Secret Team." The unit "existed only once before in
World War One, but was mothballed until the Gulf War," Parker stated,
adding that when he returned from the Gulf he was told that "I was not
to disclose the nature or role of the team I was serving with." So
secret was the unit that "it does not appear in any listing," he added.

What Angus Parker has revealed is extremely disturbing. The 1st Field
Laboratory Unit was composed of 40 men working in 8 teams of five. It
had been deployed from Porton Down, Britain�s biological warfare
headquarters. Parker, ranked sergeant, was second in command of one of
the five man teams. "As the biological warfare recconaisance team, we
were sampling the environment looking for biological weapons," he said,
adding "�this was "difficult and hard to do. We could only identify four
agents - Plague, Anthrax, Botulism toxin A & B� that�s all."
Effectively, the specialised equipment they had to work with to identify
bio-weapons were not very sophisticated. Parker confirms that his unit
found numerous positive samples of biological organisms that couldn�t be
analysed and identified on the battlefield. "Many, many more were
 present," than the four they could identify. Positive samples were
collected and shipped in freezer units to Boscombe Down for analysis by
the Porton Down CB specialists.

Significantly, in addition to confirming that his unit positively
identified the presence of Anthrax at Dhahran, he also revealed that
another team of the 1st Field Laboratory Unit identified the presence of
Plague at Wadi Al Batin. Parker has tried in vain to get other members
of his unit to come forward and speak openly, but they are too scared to
do so. "They�re not sick and still have their jobs," he explained.

Parker is not alone in revealing the use of biological weapons in the
Gulf War. US Marine Corps battlefield logs released under the Freedom of
Information Act confirm the findings of Porton Down�s "Secret Team." On
24 February 1991, the US Army�s 513th Military Intelligence Brigade
confirmed the use of Anthrax at King Khalid Military City. However, like
events in Britain, important and potentially incriminating records have
mysteriously gone "missing." Two US Marines at Camp Pendleton, San Diego
went on the record to say they observed "hundreds of records from the
Gulf war being destroyed." This and numerous other accounts of records
being destroyed and "missing" can only lead to charges of a massive
"Gulf-Wargate" cover-up.

A Senate Report entitled "Arming Iraq: The Export of Biological
Materials and the Health of Gulf War Veterans," underscores the
biological threat possessed by the Iraqi�s. More often referred to as
the "Riegle Report," named after it�s author Donald J. Riegle Jr, the
report itemises biological cultures supplied to Iraq by the US. Riegle
and his team identified no less than 61 batches of biologically
hazardous materials exported to Iraq. "Between the years 1985 and 1989,
the United States Government approved the sales of quantities of
potentially lethal biological agents that could have been cultured and
grown in very large quantities in an Iraqi biological warfare program,"
Riegle stated. These included Pathogenic materials "which means
disease-producing items, and toxigenic, meaning poisonous items." The
report adds that "�we were not able to get any records prior to 1985."
Riegle then went on to read an extract from a Department of Defense
summary report written in 1992.

"By the time of the invasion of Kuwait, Iraq had developed biological
weapons. It�s advanced and aggressive biological warfare program was the
most advanced in the Arab world. The program probably began in the
1970�s and concentrated on the development of two agents, botulinum
toxin and anthrax bacteria�Delivery means for biological agents ranged
from simple aerial bombs and artillery rockets to surface-to-surface
missiles."

Other biological agents provided by the US to Saddam Hussein�s
biological warfare programme included histoplasma capsulatum, which can
cause symptoms resembling tuberculosis and lead to the enlargement of
the liver and spleen as well as anaemia and skin disease - symptoms that
many Veterans now exhibit. Another organism was Brucella melintensis
which when weaponised causes chronic fatigue, profuse sweating and loss
of appetite, joint pains, insomnia, nausea and can potentially result in
major damage to the vital organs. Again, these symptoms reflect the
conditions experienced by thousands of Gulf War veterans. In addition to
the foregoing, shipments to Iraq also included "E. Coli and genetic
materials, human and bacterial DNA."

Furious at the way the Defense Department have side-stepped these
disgraceful issues, Riegle fired off a volley of letters to various
officials. One letter identified that the "average cost" of each of the
various biological specimens shipped to Iraq, was "less than $60.00, and
that they were acquired from a not-for-profit organisation."

Stories also circulate of a genetically engineered organism being used
in the Gulf War is paralleled by British vets who also claim the use of
a modified mycoplasma organism. This included Angus Parker who had
earlier said it was "an infectious organism manufactured in the US."
Oddly enough, this is one of the enduring aspects of the Octopus story
involving engineered bio-organisms supplied to Iraq by Wackenhut Corp,
the giant US private-sector security company who�s Board of Directors
reads like a roll call of military and intelligence alumni. It is an
allegation supported by US investigative journalist Carol Marshall, in
her manuscript called "The Last Circle."

Marshall had spent years investigating the allegations of Michael
Riconosciuto - a former CIA scientific whiz-kid. Working for the
Wackenhut Corp, at their Cabazon Indian tribe facility, Riconosciuto
claimed to have developed advanced and genetically altered biological
warfare agents. One, he claimed was a "race specific" organism
genetically engineered to attack certain races or groups. Unleashed it
could kill or render ill all those of a particular ethnic group, leaving
others entirely unharmed. Clearly, the possibility of genetically
modified bio-weapons having been used in the Gulf War cannot be entirely
ruled out.

Significantly, in the US Army War College publication dated July 25,
1994, entitled "The Revolution in Military Affairs and Conflict Short of
War," authors Steven Metz and James Kievit also discuss this touchy
subject. On page 16 they state "Certain biotechnical weapons -
considered by some to violate the biological warfare convention to which
the United States is a signatory - also may transgress American Values
regarding appropriate means." They go on to ask "Could the government
and military of this multi-ethnic republic face charges that it was
developing or using a weapon targeting Africans, Jews Koreans, Hispanics
etc?" The authors then conclude "Overcoming these constraints� would
require fundamental changes in the United States - an ethical and
political revolution may be necessary to make a military revolution."
This, the authors "hypothesise" could be achieved by re-modelling the
way Americans think and also via the effective control of news
management using "advanced psychotechnolgy" and other techniques such a
"morphing."

EXPERIMENTAL VACCINES

If genetically engineered biological weapons are now available, it is
certain that there will have been developed the necessary antidotes in
the form of vaccines. All of the Vets I interviewed for this article
spoke of the large number of vaccines they were injected with. Sean
Rusling received 24 vaccinations over a four week period. Two of these
vaccinations are classified secret, and were, he believes
"experimental." Richard Turnbull got a dose of 13 inoculations in just
ten minutes. Four of them were unidentified and classified secret. He
also believes them to have been experimental. Ray Bristow was informed
in a letter from Brigadier McDermott of the MoD, that some of his
injections were also classified. Later he was informed by The Surgeon
General, Admiral Revell, that this was not the case and that Brigadier
McDermott�s statement was incorrect.

How many vaccines were classified secret? Surgeon General Vice Admiral
Revell, during a "Behind Closed Doors" meeting of Parliaments Defence
Committee, was asked "How many vaccines do we not admit to?" His replied
saying: "I think probably about five or six." All previously classified
vaccinnes were declassified on 10 December 1996, according to a letter
dated 20 January 1997 from the Ministry of Defence. A spokesman at the
MoD confirmed this in a telephone call on Friday, 30 May 1997, adding
that there were only three vaccines that had ever been classified. These
were, he told me: Anthrax, Pertussis and Plague. This statement is
confirmed in a letter to Shaun Rusling dated 20 January 1997, in which
the Ministry of Defence confide "the vaccines you were given against
potential biological warfare threats were anthrax, pertussis (as an
adjuvant) and plague. These are the only vaccinations which have ever
been classified." A far cry from the testimony of Surgeon General Revell
in the closed door hearings of the Defence Committee in which he said
there were "five or six" vaccines were not "admitted to."

I posed this discrepancy to the Ministry of Defence. Surgeon General
Revell�s testimony before the Defence Committee was "a
misunderstanding," the MoD spokesman said. Despite this
"misunderstanding," the medical records of Corporal Richard Turnbull
clearly state that four vaccines were classified secret, not three. Nor
is Turnbull alone in this respect. Ray Bristow�s list of shots,
including Anthrax (batch no. 0190), Plague (batch no. 10H03A) and
Peratussin Adjuvant (batch no. B1868a) - to name just those three that
were officially classified - also detail two other vaccines labelled
"biological." These are still classified secret and their contents
remain "unknown." The story is identical for Shaum Rusling even down to
the same batch numbers of the vaccines he received. Surgeon General,
Vice Admiral Revell stated in one letter "Unfortunately, medical record
keeping in the Gulf was not as thorough as it should have been�" and
that, as a consequence details of certain vaccinations are now missing -
a position that remains the governments official line.

A number of Vets now believe they have been used as unwitting Guinea
pigs and are deeply concerned at what, precisely, may have been pumped
into them. Once again, Porton Down�s Angus Parker dropped another
bomshell. Patiently, he explained that "the MoD has not been totally
honest about the vaccines used against us." I couldn�t help but catch
his use of the word "against"us instead of "on" us. Clearly he now
considers the Ministry of Defence and others in the Whitehall
bureaucracy to have become bitter enemies - and is by no means alone in
holding that view. A few Vets repeatedly warned me that the "Security
Services" are paying them close attention. Some have had their phones
tapped and others experience peculiar mail delivery problems.

Meanwhile, Parker went on to reveal the chemical structure of one of the
vaccines that are still, apparently, "not admitted to." "There is an
experimental vaccine - an AIDS vaccine," he said. This "has been around
since approximately 1990. He went on to explain that this vaccine
contains two components. One component is known as a "Cytokine." This,
Parker, said is an "immune potentiator." It works like a "chemical
messenger sent between different cells in the body." When it detects a
foreign organism, "it actually stimulates a response by the human immune
system," to fight and, hopefully, destroy the alien organism present.

Parker�s analysis of this component was confirmed by a spokesman for
London�s Biochemical Society, who added that it was "feasible" that
Cytokines could be "purified and cloned" and used to fight "against any
agent." The spokesman added, moreover, that Cytokines were very
"hush-hush," were "cutting edge technology" and "logically" would have
been "adopted by the military." They were, she added, "experimental."

According to Parker, the second component consisted of experimental HIV
gene envelopes. Parker went on to explain one of the basic problems with
this experimental vaccine. Whereas Cytokines readily drop out of the
body after awhile, "fragments" of the HIV genes do not. Although there
may have been "good operational reasons" for topping-up the vaccine with
HIV genes, Parker acknowledged that no one knows the long term
consequences. "it was experimental" he emphasised, and had been
originally developed by Porton Down as an AIDS vaccine.

The question of HIV gene envelopes was put to the Biochemical Society�s
spokesman, who stated that these envelopes "can be created to be
specifically resistant to CBW." The spokesman went on to explain that
gene envelopes are effectively, the "walls" that surround the nucleus of
each cell and are thus, the first line of defence against diseases -
whether they be naturally acquired or as a result of CB weapon attack.
HIV gene envelopes are one of the most powerful and resistant known to
science, she added.

Professor Beverley of the Edward Jenner Institute for vaccine Research
could think of no theoretical reason why HIV gene envelopes would be
used other than to "stimulate a response against HIV." He went on to
speculate that had HIV gene envelopes used in a vaccine, logically, this
would only have occurred as protection against a possible attack using
HIV as a bio-weapon. There was, he felt, no other conceivable reason,
but added, that had such a vaccine been "given to Gulf War soldiers it
would have been speculative."

The picture that emerges is confusing. The use of Cytokines does have a
rational explanation in that they trigger the bodies immune system. As
such they could be an ideal general vaccine for use in a CB warfare
setting. The rationale of using HIV gene envelopes is, however, less
certain and considerably more perplexing. In the last analysis there is
not enough available detailed information in regard to the HIV gene
envelopes to reach anything but a speculative conclusion. Some weeks
prior to my interview with Professor Beverley, Angus Parker had told me
in a throw away comment "I don�t even want to get in to AIDS as a
weapon." At that time nor did I. Professor Beverley�s certitude that
this is the only conceivable reason why HIV gene envelopes would have
been used, leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

However, for clarity�s sake I leave the last word with Angus Parker.
Told of Professor Beverley�s theory he remained adamant that there was
another reason why HIV gene envelopes had been used. His information, he
insisted, came directly from the horse�s mouth. I am inclined to accept
what he has revealed. At the outbreak of the Gulf War there were not
enough stocks of Cytokines to go around. Thus a decision was made to top
them up with the HIV gene envelopes which, he assured me, act in a very
similar fashion to Cytokines: they trigger the bodies immune system.
Significantly, this had been confirmed by Professor Beverley when he
said "they do indeed trigger and regulate the way the body relates to
pathogens."

Clearly, Parker�s revelations - if proved true - are stunning. The
secret use of an experimental vaccine on British military personnel may
be one of the most significant reasons why the Ministry of Defence
continue to stonewall Vets about the vaccines they received. To admit to
involuntary human testing on such a sensitive issue will lead to a
public relations disaster of huge proportions. As one ill Vet told me "I
was ordered to volunteer" for the shots. He now wishes he hadn�t. The
second potential reason clearly opens a can of worms about the possible
development of HIV as a biological weapon.

But there are other equally powerful reasons to keep the lid on the Gulf
War Syndrome story. Pat Eddington, the former CIA analyst has no doubt
that the principal reason for the US governments stonewalling tactic is
to cover-up the supply of CB weapons to Iraq prior to the Gulf War. For
the US government to admit to such cynical irresponsibility would result
in public outrage, Eddington says. Eddington also chastises the Senate
whose members selfishly refuse to act against the wishes of the
Pentagon. Their delinquency of duty has resulted in the side-lining of
in excess of 100,000 Gulf War veterans who now exhibit a range of
symptoms typical of chemical, and in some case, biological attack. In
this "business as usual" scenario, Eddington also reserves some powder
and shot for the major media who are largely willing to accept - at face
value - the cloying PR handouts from the Department of Defence.
Hopelessly abandoned by one and all, many thousands of vets have now
died as a result of their chemically inspired battle injuries, adding
even more incentive to the Pentagon to continue the cover-up.

But in the last analysis the reasons surrounding the British and US
governments disgraceful obfuscation are many. Certainly, the prior
supply of CB weapons to Iraq is enough to make many government officials
quake with the fear of disgrace. It is a similar rationale that
continues to eclipse the illegal use of experimental, unlicensed and
highly sensitive drugs. Not least, however, is the knowledge that
defence against chemical and biological weapon attacks is utterly
shambolic. Pat Eddington states that CBW protective suits and gas masks
are: "a)notoriously defective and b) in very short supply�two problems
that have yet to be corrected more than six years later." He adds
"That�s not something the Pentagon wants to advertise to the likes of
Hashemi Rafsanjani, Kim Jong 11, or Colonel Qaddafi."

Yet few can doubt the intelligence services of North Korea, Iran or
Libya are already aware of the published shortcomings of US and British
CBW protective equipment. A more significant fear may be the realisation
inside the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defence that their own troops
will be less than willing to wade into a future CB battle zone virtually
buck-naked.

Armed only with an uncertain dose of HIV but the certain knowledge that
- thanks to the grace of greed and military commercialism - those
chemical and biological organisms you are about to inhale and absorb
have "made at home" stencilled all over them� would you volunteer for
military service?
