Toronto Sun columnist Eric Margolis — no stranger to the pages of HonestReporting— mocks the ‘hysteria over weapons of mass destruction’:
No terrorist group is likely to sneak enough chemical or biological material into the U.S. to cause more than localized damage. Attacks like those on the World Trade Center may be horrible, but they are not mass destruction. Even a small nuclear device would cause only limited destruction.
About 3000 people were killed or injured in the complete destruction of two skyscrapers. How many casualties would it take for Margolis to call an act of terror “mass destruction?”
We suspect Margolis’ definition of mass destruction is on a level that only America — or Israel — could bring about.
