So why bother to chime in with your two cents before spending the five

Sure. As long as you're referring to people who scream "disinformation" when
they can't reconcile a badly-worded paragraph with equations they looked up in
a chemistry book, I agree. 


>I'm not an expert on this,

Then why aren't you following your own advice? 

If anyone is interested in learning more about CW, a good intro:

Chemical Warfare Agents: an overview of chemicals defined as chemical weapons

Biological agents: USAMRIID's MEDICAL MANAGEMENT 
OF BIOLOGICAL CASUALTIES HANDBOOK

RAND pdfs:

War Illnesses. Vol. 5, Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents

Detailed reference works you can dig up yourself. But hey, if you prefer
to stick to your chemistry 101 books and advice from Uncle Fester, that's
perfectly fine by me. Just watch out throwing the word "disinformation"
around, that's all.
