Thanks for the link and excerpt. In your link, there is a mention of trichothecene mycotoxin production/research in Iraq. The T-2 mycotoxin, or more commonly known as yellow rain, is the only bio-weapon to have been used in the past (in southeast Asia and Afghanistan by the Russians). Futher digging into Gulf War syndrome/mycotoxin came up with some interesting results. I found several references to an Iraqi missile detonation near a US military camp in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm which produced symptoms of mycotoxicosis. In other words, some of our guys may have been exposed to WMD's back in Desert Storm. Other references posed that Gulf War syndrome may be related to T-2 mycotoxin exposure as well as other possible agents.

One last note, T-2 is extremely stable to heat and ultraviolet light and requires heating to 1500 deg. F. for 30 minutes to inactivate. I'd never heard of this stuff before. Whadya think?

Thanks for the additional info. I have heard reports that the 'Gulf War Syndrome' was also potentially a communicable condition. Supposedly relatives of the infected had come down with similar symptoms (Joyce Riley). That characteristic would better fit a biological type of weapon. I do not think we have been given a complete description of the symptoms of those potentially affected earlier in the week. So it is guess work at this point. Perhaps we can get a detailed description of the symptoms of those infected relayed by our third party source ?

It is probably not wise to explore conspiratorial aspects of this situation, but avoiding another Gulf War Syndrome issue (with all its legal ramifications) would be a legitimate motive for the 'Black Suits' to deny the presence of WMD, which of course will seem to be a ludicrous concept to anyone who reads that CIA report concerning Gulf War Syndrome in the Persian Gulf War.
