Air Force chief: Test weapons on testy U.S. mobs

Lovely. What can I say - he's worried about bad PR if he fries an Iraqi mob, but apparently he'd feel better about it if he was toasting Americans.

Note that this is not a military officer, it's Bush's appointee as Secretary of the Air Force. And I suppose it's just part and parcel of this Administration's political strategy to blind, deafen and fry our brains before we regain the good sense to send them packing.

Unbelievable.

Nonlethal weapons such as high-power microwave devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control situations before being used on the battlefield, the Air Force secretary said Tuesday.

The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
