5,000 injured, about a dozen killed, that is not the several thousand cited in the article. Aum shinrikyo tried using sarin again by blowing out of a van, and that didn't hurt anyone but themselves. Getting a hold of chem/bio agents is not the most difficult part, it is weaponizing it. These numbers citied are not realistic. Chem/bio weapons are a threat, but this article is hype. The definitive book on the topic is Toxic Terror by Johnathan Tucker. Also take a look at www.cns.miis.edu.
Also, the question of Iraq's WMD was the extent of the programs after 1991. Be honest about this, there is too much spin on both sides.
"5,000 injured, about a dozen killed, that is not the several thousand cited in the article."
Are you saying that you would not mind being in the injured or killed group? Are you saying that if this happened near you that you would not be terrorized?
Talk about being honest. BE HONEST HERE.
The temptation to hype risks is endemic to journalism, but only risks that are simple. There was a huge risk the world's legitimate economies and politics were being successfully undermined by the "tribe and bribe" economy of Muslims. The fact this was facilitated by the UN's "humanitarian" Oil-for-Food program is so preposterous it defies journalists' abilities to comprehend. So much simpler to cry "no WMDs".
