10/7 What do you so-called "real" conservatives have to say about our
government selling bio-tech weapons to the lowest bidder?
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/10/06/gao.pentagon/index.html
\_ you mean highest bidder?
\_ Duh. Obviously it's stupid and a bad idea and that's why your
own link says they stopped and never should have in the first place.
What does one's political philosophy have to do with this?
\_ Duh, they thought it was a fine idea until they were caught.
\_ caught? it's called government stupidity. read your own
link. the retail value was $46k. it was just stupid. know
why they did that? because stupid shit happens in big
governments under every administration. i hope you're not
trying to claim this was a conservative plot.
\_ and of course you're not bothered that our government
will happily supply any whacko with a bio-lab as long
as they can pay the discounted price. If this happened
5 years ago there'd be calls for Clinton's head.
\_ Yes I am bothered. Where'd you see that I said it
was ok? You're an idiot and trolling. Go die.
\_ supply side trickle down terrorism? |
| www.cnn.com/2003/US/10/06/gao.pentagon/index.html WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Defense Department sold equipment to the public that can be used for making biological warfare agents, according to a draft report by the General Accounting Office. The Defense Department agency responsible for the sale of excess property to the public, the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service, halted the sale of such items September 19 while the practice is reviewed. A congressional source said the GAO front corporation was able to buy evaporator, incubator and centrifuge equipment that can be used to produce biological warfare agents. It also bought 300 to 400 protective suits required for the production of biological agents, the source said. The fictitious GAO company spent "a little over $4,000" for equipment that the Defense Department originally bought for some $46,000, according to the source and the report. The congressional source said those suits should not have been resold under any circumstances. The subcommittee will hold a hearing on the matter Tuesday with testimony from Pentagon officials, GAO investigators and a chemical-biological weapons expert.
