Because:
"The official said the video of the chemical tests on the dogs suggest a very strong desire to acquire the capability to use such weapons against humans. Until now, he said, he had seen nothing that indicated bin Laden or al Qaeda had the capability. "
"This tape is unquestionable documentation that he has some capability," he said. The tape, he said, shows "some level of sophistication, and indicates they were trying to get results."

They could just tell me though. It would not be necessary to show a dog struggling for life to make the point. I think they are showing the video for ratoings not substance.
you won't here anything from the PETA fascists 'coz protesting this type of animal abuse doesn't advance their anti-capitalist cause.
sorry if you've already seen this.

"Bin Laden's Afghan Germ Warfare Plants Bombed"
NewsMax.com
Thursday, Oct. 11, 2001
Osama bin Laden's secret laboratories in Afghanistan that were turning out deadly chemical and biological warfare agents have been heavily bombed in recent days, according to Ze'ev Schiff, defense commentator for Israel's Ha'aretz newspaper.
Despite Washington's reluctance to identify some of the targets of its daily bombing runs over Afghanistan - such information has even been withheld from members of the anti-terrorist coalition - the well-informed defense expert revealed that U.S. intelligence has "detailed information on the location of bin Laden's Al Qaida organization camps." Schiff also reported that U.S. and British air strikes hit instructional and training bases near the cities of Jalalabad and Khut, located close to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.One of the bases reportedly attacked was a "small and secret" germ warfare plant that manufactured various poisons, including biological warfare agents. Another base attacked, Schiff reported, was a major manufacturer of explosive materials.
Wrote Schiff, "According to this information it seems that the American and other intelligence services knew about Al Qaida's involvement in the chemical and biological warfare realm prior to the strikes."
When Johnny Jihad was captured and interrogated, he already said that the "PHASE III" of the plan against the infidels (America) by the al-Qaeda would be the delivery of WMD chems and/or bios on soft targets within the United States. Some commentators at the time dismissed the rat boy, saying he could not have been that close to the inner sanctum or had knowledge of these productions and strategms. Hmmmmm.....
Just kidding.
However Rush just brought this up last hour, and just him reading the headlines, before he ever commented, I thought 'we couldn't get people upset enough and convinced enough of their evilness by the fact that they advocate suicide bombings and that they killed 3000 people at the WTC,... so we have to bring the people video of them gassing some dogs to get the point across?"
Of course, that was the very next thing Rush said after I yelled it at the radio.
