Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."). --HP Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

The stars hath turned in the heavens once more: Mighty Cthulhu stirs. His dreams reacheth forth, communing with those with ears to hear. Iä! Shub-Niggurath! His thoughts trample down along the pathways of thy mind; thou knowest His footprints, each of which is a wound...

Ritter Debunks "Sarin Shell"

The Christian Science Monitor has printed an article by Scott Ritter, the renegade weapons inspector who was the subject of much smearing by ShrubCo™ and the neo-cons for his insistence that Iraq had no WMD's:

Given the trouble the administration has had in documenting its past allegations about WMD, releasing the news of last week's sarin shell without the key information about the state of the shell itself seems disingenuous.


Ritter has been right about Iraq's WMD's all along, and ShrubCo™ has been wrong all along. So, when he says that this infamous "sarin shell" is no evidence of a WMD stockpile, who is right this time? I'll give you a hint: NOT SHRUBCO™

For those who are wondering, sarin is the deadly nerve agent that first made its fame when the Aum Shinrikyo cult in Japan released it into a crowded subway train. While not quite as easy to process as ricin (which is made from castor beans), any chemistry student can create sarin from readily available materials. It's possible to do in a kitchen, but easier to do with a well-equipped garage lab. How easy? The religious fanatics in Japan stockpiled hundreds of tons of it, enough to kill millions of people if properly dispersed.
