The British find WMDs, evidence of gruesome experiments on human guinea pigs. This, plus recent shipments of the chemical precursors needed to produce sarin and other chemical weapons to countries such as Libya, Iran, Syria, and Sudan should pretty much wrap things up, no?!

It should perhaps be noted that British testing of sarin on human subjects continued until at least November of 1983. More information is available in this article.

There is also a Porton Down Veterans Support Group which collects and documents information on these tests that effected more than 3000 British servicemen.

Huh?

Should wrap what things up?
Is this related in some way to the US's weapons claims?
What are you saying???

Well.
That's certainly horrifying. I wonder how high specific knowledge of the experiments went? Purely academic interest of course, the person who could have, but did not, stop this will die free of old age.

This is obviously a fake story planted by and printed by friends of terrorism™ to slander the good people who fight for freedom, democracy and decent human values.

xmutex,

What do you mean by "white people" just don't do this sort of thing? That sounds rascist as hell.

I think xmutex was being snarky, with the implication being that only darker-skinned Arabs would engage in such. Sarcasm and whatnot...

That IS what you were trying to say, wasn't it...?

Well, you can only trust white people with such awesome (and I do mean awesome!) weapons.

Sickening. Absolutely sickening.
You would think that the liberation of the concentration camps would have had some effect on the allies - some kind of "this is bad, let's not do this ourselves" response. But there's more wars to win, boys, more wars to win.

I say it's time to remove the evil regime running that country, obviously they are willing to use WMDs on their own soldiers.

We should kill all racists. There is nothing good about anyone that has ever been racist and they should all die. Or be put in concentration camps.
