-Caveat Lector-
{{I found this additional article at the site posted by Bill
Shannon on the subject of corruption at Redstone Arsenal.
Now I am concerned about the pollution mentioned here!
Oddly, there is little or no coverage of this locally. And
the author keeps referring to it as 'Huntsville' corruption
when it is military as those facilities are closed to the
public. That may explain why there is no local coverage but
I will forward these two articles by Martin to a local TV
station and see if there is any response. I shall not be
holding my breath as I wait for one. Thanks, Bill. Please
post or send to me anything you run across on this as I am
naturally highly interested and there is little info
locally. Amelia}}

Missing Chemical Weapons at Redstone
Huntsville-based FBI agents have discovered that
chemical weapons are being sold illegally out of the
Redstone Arsenal. Apparently older chemical weapons systems
which have been retired and scheduled for destruction are
illegally being sold out the back door.
In fact, even the FBI couldn't get over the fact that
there's virtually no security regarding these stockpiles of
chemical weapons. They are completely unprotected. They're
not in secure bunkers like they're supposed to be. Even the
doors are unlocked. There's not even a lock on the door,
even though the Department of Defense own internal edicts
require the chemical weapons to be stored in special high
security storage facilities. These protocols are not being
followed. And there is virtually no inventory control of
retired chemical weapons.
The FBI has just found out. It was an extension of
their original investigation of illicit weapons systems
sales (See "Fraud as Usual at Redstone Arsenal") Then they
got into the fraudulent double-dipping pensions, as we have
mentioned before. (See "FBI Angst")
The FBI was evidently just bumbling along and they
happened to stumble into these things. It should be noted
that the FBI has no jurisdiction at Redstone Arsenal. They
need to be invited onto the base as a matter of fact. They
have no power of arrest on what is considered military
jurisdiction. So what happens? Nothing. Ultimately a report
will be filed and it will end up in the hands of the
Attorney General. Then the Attorney General will send a
letter to the Secretary of Defense saying that this is what
we've discovered and you ought to do something about it. But
then nothing is ever done.
The conditions that these retired chemical weapons are
being kept under are so deplorable and lack of security is
so egregious that FBI agents have quickly realized that they
would have to ask for a transfer to get away from the place.
The notion that these chemical weapons systems were
being sold illegally to other countries through nefarious
unregistered weapons brokers was appalling enough. What the
FBI agents were upset about was living in such close
proximity to it. In other words, people are aware that
chemical weapons are being stored there, but the same people
believe that DoD guidelines are being followed for storing
hazardous weapons.
They just were not prepared for what they saw. Barrels
full of dangerous chemicals that are rusted and leaking. No
locks on the door. Nobody knows how much of anything there
is or how much is missing. If anyone ever got in there with
a bomb intent on some terrorist activity, all they'd have to
do is blow the place up. And God knows how far the
contamination would spread.
Evidently some dangerous chemicals were stolen. When
the FBI checked into it (it's a federal crime), they found
that the missing chemical weapons were enough to eliminate
about three states.
Nobody would admit to what it is or what it isn't.
This theft or disappearance of these chemical weapons is
usually called "shrinkage" in stores. At Redstone Arsenal,
they call it "inadvertent evaporation." Of course, that
might refer to the chemical itself but not the canister in
which it's stored. At Redstone Arsenal, however the
canisters are also missing.
Apparently the supervisor said something to the
brigadier general in charge of Redstone about the chemical
weapons missing and about the chemical weapons leaking into
the soil and not being properly protected or properly
disposed of. They're actually lying. They're saying that the
weapons are being disposed of in a timely fashion when in
fact they're not.
The supervisor said to the brigadier general, "Aren't
you concerned about the health of your own troops?"
The brigadier general laughed and said, "Oh, don't
worry. Exposure to toxic chemicals builds character."
