But this guy, look at him, he's super-dangerous, he's Chemical Ali (TM) with his anthrax gun and ricin grenades. They may as well have called him Dr. Doom, or the Green Goblin. They call him 'Chemical' and America believes them. They're going to find chemical weapons, because how can they not? They're there, we're here, they'll find what they're looking for, whether or not it really exists, because embedded reporters or no, they control the information. The fact that we've gobbled up the story about this Ali fellow just proves to them that they can get away with it. |
