Category: Iraq: The Present Crisis
Friday, March 14, 2003
Kevin Sites is a "sojo" -- solo broadcast journalist -- who CNN has blogging from the front line between Iraq and Kuwait:
We have two birds in our CNN workspace, Anthrax and Smallpox. Parakeets. But for us, canaries in the coal mine. Tiny, organic early warning systems against a chemical or biological attack... Our instructor, a good-natured Brit named Ian, has taught us nerve agents are undetectable, that blister agents smell of garlic, and that a choking agent will remind you of freshly cut grass -- right before it ruptures your lungs and drowns you in your own fluids.

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
