Old WMD are meaningless
(Letter to the Editor ~ 07/16/06)
To the editor: Readers should not be fooled by the recent letter regarding WMD in Iraq. The writer regards it as a revelation that approximately 500 weapons have been discovered since 2003.

He dismissed the 500 degraded pre-Gulf War chemical munitions that have recently been reported about in comparison to what is killing Americans every day: The "1980-era chemical munitions have not killed a single American or Iraqi.". ...
