According to the New York Times, prospective new buyers at a 452-flat building near the Lincoln Centre must declare whether they are smokers. Under the regulations, a new owner who smokes could be evicted and forced to sell his apartment. -- A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

BioWarfare, Terror Weapons and the US
Home Brew?
By Francis A. Boyle
[Editors' Note: What follows is the transcript of a faculty lecture given by
Professor Boyle at the University of Illinois, followed by a few questions
and answers.]
Last fall we saw an anthrax attack on the United States government that
obviously was designed to shut the government down at a very critical moment
in our history as a republic, that is immediately after September 11 when
Congress should have been in session, making very critical decisions on
oversight of the executive branch of government. This did not occur because
of these anthrax attacks. I am going to work up to what I think really
happened then to the extent anything can be figured out at this point in
time. But to do that I will have to go through some historical background on
the law and policy and science of biological weapons here in the United States.
Origins of BWC
We had at least going back to World War II an extremely aggressive offensive
biological warfare program. Finally, Nixon and Kissinger decided to get rid
of this offensive biological warfare program. Two grounds. One, it was
counterproductive, just militarily, you could not really control these
things. Two, we had a massive superiority in nuclear weapons anyway. Bios
were the poor man's atom bomb and we wanted to get rid of them to deprive
anyone out there in the third world of a weapon of mass extermination. Nixon
unilaterally ordered the termination of our biowarfare program for offensive
purposes. Nevertheless the CIA continued anyway despite the President's
order. Eventually we supported and became a party to the Biological Weapons
Convention of 1972 that prohibits research, development, testing of
biological weapons, agents, components, etc., except for prophylactic and
defensive purposes. And at least after the treaty came into effect we wound
down our offensive biological warfare program. There was still a CBW unit
there lurking in the Pentagon that had been starved of funds, wanting to
come back to life. I am not sure exactly what the CIA was doing.
Reagan
Then the Reagan administration came to power. And I point out that many of
the same people in the Reagan administration dealing with these issues are
now back under Bush Jr. The Reagan administration took the position that we
were going to exploit our superior technology with respect to weapons across
the board. Whether it was nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, biological
weapons, space weapons, it did not matter. And they began to pour massive
amounts of money, hundreds of millions of dollars, into researching and
developing what they said were defensive biological agents.
Now what had happened in the meantime to the technology after Nixon was that
DNA genetic engineering had come to the forefront. The technology itself,
that is gene splicing. And the Reagan administration decided to exploit it.
They engaged in dual-use research and development of biological agents, that
is research that could be put to both offensive uses and defensive uses at
the same time. The technology is the same.
To have a biological weapon as a weapon you need three things. First you
need an agent. Second you need a delivery device. And third you need a
vaccine to vaccinate your own troops and your own people. Using a biological
agent you are going to send an army in there, they are going to occupy the
territory, they need a vaccine.
The way the Reagan administration did this was to say that we are going to
go out and investigate every exotic disease you could possibly imagine for
the purpose of developing vaccines to deal with them despite the fact that
there was no real evidence that anyone else was investigating these things
and therefore we fit within the loophole of the Biological Weapons
Convention for prophylactic purposes. While of course the technology to get
the vaccine, using the DNA gene splicing, is exactly the same technology to
get the agent. Indeed you use the DNA gene splicing to get the agent first
and then you develop the vaccine. After you have created the agent then you
create the vaccine and then you come up with an aerosol delivery device.
Then you have a bioweapon.
U of Illinois Contracts
We had two of these contracts here on the University of Illinois campus. I
have read these contracts. They were clearly biological warfare contracts
and the tip-off on any of these contracts is they call for the development
in the contract of an aerosol delivery device. That is how biological
warfare agents are delivered, by air. All of this type of research then was

Georgina Shanley, Roger Goodman, Dan Merkle and Vivian McPeak (and their troops) deserve special applause for working the convention aggressively to get this overwhelmingly passed. Mikki Norris, Chris Conrad and Virginia Resners human rights display had a big impact and various materials of reform organizations were passed out to all the delegates (among them Drug War Facts). Bravo to an excellent effort. Kevin THE WAGING OF A WAR ON ILLEGAL DRUGS, KNOWN AS THE WAR ON DRUGS, AND ITS EFFECT ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITY Resolution passed overwhelmingly. WHEREAS Amnesty International contributes to the observance throughout the world of human rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and WHEREAS the declaration of war on the issue of illegal drugs has created a burgeoning domestic prison population and increased numbers of displaced persons in Latin America. The US governments increase in military aid and training to governments, including but not limited to Colombia, has contributed to the manufacturing, marketing and exportation of types of weapons and devices used in torture. It has justified interference in targeted economies with concurrent degradation of the environment and an overall diminution of human rights in those countries and the USA; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Amnesty International immediately recognize the correlation between this war and human rights abuses within and outside the U.S.A. BE IT FURTHER resolved that at the next ICM, the AIUSA delegation ask the ICM to call for research to be done to identify AIs position on the war on drugs because of its resultant human rights violations. -- The November Coalition, founded in 1997 is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, your gifts are tax deductible.
