Well, I guess we'll have to start bombing Washington

From The Guardian:

The good news for the Pentagon yesterday was that its investigators had finally unearthed evidence of weapons of mass destruction, including 100 vials of anthrax and other dangerous bacteria.
The bad news was that the stash was found, not in Iraq, but fewer than 50 miles from Washington, near Fort Detrick in the Maryland countryside.

The anthrax was a non-virulent strain, and the discoveries are apparently remnants of an abandoned germ warfare programme. They merited only a local news item in the Washington Post.

But suspicious finds in Iraq have made front-page news (before later being cleared), given the failure of US military inspection teams to find evidence of the weapons that were the justification for the March invasion.

You know, the US, like Iraq, did sign that treaty that was supposed to ban chemical and biological weapons. I'm not saying that we're the only country that's violating the treaty, but it's at least as ridiculous to assume that the US is all high and righteous as it is to assume any other country is.
