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. Dave Rose
