Caught an interesting segment on this evening's PBS news program with Jim Lehrer. Two senators were discussing whether the U.S. should sign the international agreement banning chemical warfare. Sen. Kyl maintains that verification is impossible and that Iraq, Libya, and North Korea will never participate. Sen. Nunn responds that we should sign anyway. Besides, he adds in the non sequitur of the week, anyone can get instructions on how to build chemical weapons on the Internet. I guess the Internet isn't just for pornography and conventional bomb-making advice anymore.
WARNING: DANGEROUS. Simple advice for the manufacture of Chlorine Gas (similar enough to mustard gas that it has the same effect). 1 bottle of Chlorine Bleach. 1 Bottle of lime-away. Hold Breath, mix in open container. Clear the building before you breathe again. Use more bottles for a larger area. I did this accidentally when I was young (16), foolish and working for a hospital. That it happened at work (_very_ small amounts of both bleach and lime-away) made the Emergency Room visit free and quick. No permanent damage, but I was lucky.
