...thinks its possible to have the weapon deployed to cops, National Guard troops and border agents by 2010
and
The tool could be scaled up to make a light bazooka that could subdue a crowd
I assumed that the weapon will be used against US citizens from reading those lines in TFA, and not just the from first noun of the summary. This has apparently confused you a little bit.
You're probably both right: The EU treats unwanted GM-cross pollination as bio-terrorist rape, while the US considers anything that might reduce the profit of a paying supporter as an attempt to overthrow the best government money can buy.
I think you will find that North Korea for instance has succeeded in combining hardware/software in precisely such a way. Don't underestimate human ingenuity in either direction...
"I trust that the US will now press the UN for resolutions condemning countries for human right abuses and acts which break international law, even if it means some of its own agents would be at risk of prosecution?"
We'll you're partially right. The US will indeed press the UN for such resolutions, but mainly because the second point is moot: The US has officially decided to commit any act of war it likes on countries that prosecute one of its agents for any of those crimes.
It's worse than that: the statistics are estimates for 2007, as in 'not yet produced by the Cuban government'. That means that on your planet the CIA is writing the propaganda for their friend Fidel. Btw. the USSR data was deliberately cooked to look more threatening and negative, so I guess you really think they have turned communist since those days.
Thank you for your contribution, especially since all those stupid die-hard communists seem to think infant mortality in Cuba is less than that of the US.
Ok, it was a cynical joke, but I'll elaborate: I agree that Egypt,Saudi and Kuwait would feel threatened if Iraq and Afghanistan had become democratic countries, the current mess is therefore their win-1. The ousting of Saddam Hussein improved their position in the Arab world, that is win-2.
In other words: All three countries (and probably many more in the region) are, covertly or openly, very happy to see the neighbourhood bully Saddam Hussein killed, especially when done by a bunch of infidels. All three countries (and probably many more in the region) are, covertly or openly, very happy to see Americans getting killed for trying to force democracy on an unwilling nation.
Only a few more years and everybody in the US will also understand why all their new democratic friends in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait etc. consider the war in Iraq a win-win situation.
I guess most religious types know full well what a joke is, they just want the joker to burn in their particular Hell for not being sufficiently awstruck with their Supreme Being.
The accountant and the IRS may both beg to differ: Selling x worth at x-y equals donating y in the books of the paying company and it equals receiving y in the books of the candidate. The only way around that appears to me to commit fraud at at least one end of the line.
But it already is a down and dirty trade war: Both the Clinton and the Bush administration have implicitly admitted that the US cannot compete in a free market system if the real cost of pollution costs would have to paid. Therefore allowing pollution for profit is just one of the weapons in a trade-war, just like for instance allowing copyright infringment for profit, or manipulating exchange rates to damage your opponents.
I'm willing to guess from the titles that sodium benzoate is lethal. If you are a fungus, mold, or bacterium. (given their evolutionary ancestry some risk to mitochondriae sounds plausible to me as well)

I'm not surprised at all, some bits of my code are out there.

Nice idea for a poll
I'd say
d) If you're on a brick road, but dodging c) back trough their own ranks is also fun.
As far as I remember, intrenational laws of war forbid using weapons that blind beople.
No problem there: The US has not (yet) officially declared war on itself, so using this on US citizens is perfectly fine for the time being.

Kicking someone in the ribs is about a 7.4
Hah, not when I do the kicking.
Sound like a ciss system...

I thought they wanted to be called the 'USS Great Britain', America's biggest and slowest aircraft carrier...

Why would the FTC complain? This is was money flowing towards the US from the enemy.

I think the correct way to phrase that question is:
WHAT IS AOL????

But that is the complete opposite; In that report we have Microsoft relying on a totalitarian regime to do the spying for them...

Suppose you formulate the law slightly smarter, like making any donation with a value of more than $1000 illegal?
Don't take it from the commies and the hippies; just read the official documents, or any lobby group manifest for that matter:

May I suggest you grow up and take responsibility for your actions?
