"Evil Chemistry?"

A quote from Att. Gen. Aschcroft:

"Weapons of mass destruction including evil chemistry and evil biology are all matters of great concern, not only to the United States but also to the world community. They were the subject of U.N. resolutions," he said.

This sounds like bad science fiction. Well...perhaps "bad" is the wrong word. "Pulp" is probably a better term. I can easily recall lines like this delivered by Commander Cody or Flash Gordon watching their reruns in the seventies. One argument could be that these folks mean well, and are excellent at what they do. Except for speaking. Kind of like what I was talking about yesterday when I said that I thought Bush was smart...just not "smart like THAT."

But it worries me that we don't have more "smart like that" folks in office (not just in the White House).
