#037 -- World -- One of the chemical weapons used by Saddam Hussein against his own people was white phosphorous. In the United States military, this substance is known as Whiskey Pete, or Willie Pete, and has been used in "Shake and Bake" missions in Fallujah. What is White Phosphorous? What does it do? Why would we use it? What is its status under international law? Did we really use it? Background music by Laurie Anderson (Credit Racket), Fugazi (Exit Only), Garmarna (Hunger), PGR (The Chemical Bride: Signalling through the Flames), Dead Can Dance (Bird), and Shostakovich.

We don't know for sure what he will establish, but we know what the Air Force wants. It wants total, exclusive, and perpetual military superiority in space. We examine the benefits, the costs, and the political and scientific ramifications of space-based weapons.
