EMedicine - Toxicity, Chlorine Gas : Article by Eli Segal, MD

If you wonder what it's like to be exposed to chlorine gas like that used in Iraq recently, check out this link.
If it's all too technical for you. The bottom line is the chlorine gas causes your lungs to fill with fluid and the individual drowns in their own fluids.

Suicide Chlorine Bombing Kills 27

Anyone who does not believe terrorist will use chemical, biological and nuclear weapons when they have access to them are either naive and burying their heads in the sand or just plain stupid, my personal guess is the latter.
This article from the Washington Post clearly demonstrates what many of us have been saying for a long time, that if available terrorist will use weapons of mass destruction.

If these groups are willing to use chlorine gas to kill soldiers and civilians on two separate occasions in Iraq what makes people here in the US so hesitant to believe these terrorists will do it again over there and here in the US?

By the way, why hasn't this been front page news here? Nothing on the retro media (those who are trying to go back to their power of the late 60's and early 70's) and nothing on the cable news agencies. Why, well maybe because it validates what the military and the executive branch of the government has been telling us and worst of all, it would prove President Bush is right and the media certainly can't have that now can they?

What we as citizens tolerate will happen. If we tolerate selective news reporting for political purposes then we have nobody to blame but ourselves when news like this is purposely ignored.

Message from sender: Those who do not believe terrorists will used either chemical or nuclear weapons if and when they have them need to read this article. We also need to ask why this has not been highlighted on any of the major networks
