Monday, December 15, 1997 - Defence Secretary William Cohen shows amount of anthrax needed to kill half of Washington

According to BBC Washington correspondent, Tom Carver, the Pentagon has decided to initiate the programme amidst growing concerns about the possible use of anthrax and other biological agents as weapons by nations such as Iraq
Inoculating every one of America’s one-and-a-half million servicemen and women is going to take well over a year. The Pentagon has been deliberating about whether to go ahead with the programme for some time.

House Republicans tackling illegal immigration were reported looking closely at ending birthright citizenship.
They also were discussing building a barrier along the entire U.S.-Mexican border, The Washington Times said.
Those two ideas have floated to the top of the list of possibilities to be included either in an immigration-enforcement bill later this year or in a later comprehensive immigration overhaul.
“There is a general agreement about the fact that citizenship in this country should not be bestowed on people who are the children of folks who come into this country illegally,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo.
Birthright citizenship, or what critics call “anchor babies,” means that any child born on U.S. soil is granted citizenship, with exceptions for foreign diplomats.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., was quoted as supporting a barrier system of fences in some places and electronic surveillance or vehicle barriers in others.
It’s. About. Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and the Hastert part? Um DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JR says let’s start building a fence in San Diego and keep going east. Leave open the shitty parts and patrol them.
