[Um… What? Sorry, did I read that right?]
Airforce Secretary Michael Wynne wants to see “non-lethal” weapons like microwave powered devices tested against American citizens (see also Anti-War Protesters) before they are used in the battlefield.
Domestic use would make it easier to avoid questions in the international community over any possible safety concerns, said Secretary Michael Wynne.
[Um… Yeah, who cares about the safety of dirty hippy protesters, as long as we don’t hurt the enemy. Riiiiiight, makes sense to me?]
”If we’re not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation,” said Wynne. ”(Because) if I hit somebody with a nonlethal weapon and they claim that it injured them in a way that was not intended, I think that I would be vilified in the world press.”
[Where as is you injured a protester no one but the protesters and sympathizers would care, and they don’t support the war anyways, so who cares about them. Great line of reasoning.]
[I love when government and military officials say stupid things like this. I guess ole’ Georgie boy has been able to get away with say things a hell of a lot worse, so why not everyone else, right? Oh well, it’s pretty safe to say the entire system is screwed anyhow, what difference is another crackpot wanting to make protesters into guinea pigs going to make, not much.]
