Exposing the Pentagon's secret biowar: the long road to the truth

Article Abstract:

The sailors aboard the navy warships, which arrived at Pearl Harbor, had no idea that they had been secretly ordered to become human test subjects in a classified biological warfare test run by the Pentagon. The same was in the case for the crew of a Navy destroyer, which left its sunny Florida homeport on a mission to the cold Atlantic waters off Argentina, Newfoundland in 1965.

Article Abstract:

An analysis about the enforcement of environmental laws indicates a difference in the way the laws are applied. Some agencies report pollution and efforts to enforce clean up of the pollution, but follow-up from federal prosecutors is minimal.
