State Department media-expert Richard Boucher concurred. "Botulinum kills people; it kills people in large quantities. Botulinum is a weapon of mass destruction, yes."
But it turns out there are several types of botulinum toxins.
Type B is the active agent in FDA-approved Myobloc, a muscle relaxant similar to BoTox. The Iraqi biologist kept Saddam's supply of Type B in his refrigerator.
True, a terrorist could slip botulinum toxins into un-refrigerated food at fast-food salad bars, producing an outbreak of food poisoning, with some fatalities..
So, is Bush exonerated? Would the Security Council have authorized Wolfie's War if only they had known about Saddam's potential for spoiling a fun-meal at Wendy's?
