  Asia Times: The weapons revolution
At the same time, weapons themselves have produced changes with epoch-making significance, and their development no longer looks only to improvements in the performance of individual weapons, but rather to whether or not the weapons have good characteristics for linking and matching them with other weapons.
Kinder weapons represent the latest conscious choice of mankind among various options in the weapons arena by which, after the weapons are infused with the element of new technology, the human component is then added, thereby giving warfare an unprecedented kind-hearted hue.
Kinder weapons, which could only be born in an age of technical integration, may very well be the most promising development trend for weapons, and at the same time they will bring about forms of war or revolutions in military affairs which we cannot imagine or predict today.

 Weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weapons may be used to attack and defend, and consequently also to threaten or protect.
Suicide weapons are typically explosive in nature and exploit the willingness of their operator to not survive the attack to reach their target.
Infantry support weapons are designed to attack various threats to infantry units, supporting the infantry's operations, including heavy machine guns, mortars and pinpoint airstrikes ordered by the infantry, often to strike heavily defended positions, such as enemy camps or extensively powerful machine-gun nests.

 Hillsborough: Tourist's crime? Toting bookmark
A month after airport police arrested her on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon - the bookmark - it appears Harrington, a 52-year-old special education teacher from Laurel, Md., could be clear of a potential $10,000 fine.
This time, screeners thought the bookmark resembled a weighted police weapon, known as a sap or slungshot, used to knock suspects unconscious.
Harrington was not arrested, but she was charged with carrying a concealed weapon - a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by as much as a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

For example, during the summer, troops would find an average of eight to 10 weapons caches per week — and many of them were small, including small arms, ingredients to make improvised explosive devices and other materials.
That led to the discovery of a small weapons cache inside a wooden crate buried in the shallow dirt near the mosque.
All in all, it was a good day when it comes to finding materials used to make the primary killer of troops in Iraq.

 Fortean Times - Sonic Weapons
The theory behind infrasound weapons tends to focus on the idea that certain frequencies can be used as both a weapon and as a method of crowd control.
The best known were the ‘V’ weapons and the rocket and jet-propelled fighters like the Me163 and the Me262 – but Allied intelligence, by the end of the war, had uncovered a vast array of far more bizarre projects, the development of which had been encouraged by Germany’s non-centralised and chaotic approach to RandD.
The main difficulty lies in propagating the sound waves over distance to their intended target, a possibility hampered by the tendency of low-frequency waves to expand in all directions, thus losing focused power, and of high-frequency waves to enter a “shocked state” where energy is lost to the air.

This weapon may be intended for combat at close range, but when wielded properly should be considered as dangerous as any other armament in your arsenal.
Once the slow-moving plasma charge is within range of the target, the weapon operator may fire the photon beam into the plasma core, releasing the explosive energy of the anti-photons contained within the plasma’s EM field.
The first time you witness this miniature nuclear device in action, you’ll agree it is the most powerful weapon in the Tournament.

As part of the deal, American forces have agreed to cease military operations in Sadr City, the vast slum area of eastern Baghdad that is the stronghold for al-Sadr's militia, known as the al-Mahdi Army.
Under this agreement, al-Sadr's fighters will begin turning in their heavy weapons, such as mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, tomorrow at a series of agreed collection points, and will be paid for them, the officials said.
The militiamen will be allowed to keep their automatic weapons, which are of the same type held by many Iraqi households.

 Even with Weapons, Hussein Was No Threat by Sheldon Richman - Sierra Times.com
Simply put, with the United States and Israel armed with the most sophisticated weapons imaginable — including nuclear bombs — it is unthinkable that the former Iraqi president would have embarked on the suicidal mission of attacking either nation.
Nuclear weapons, on the other hand, are and have been properly classified as capable of mass destruction.
Their uselessness as offensive weapons does not mean that Hussein would have had no interest in acquiring them.

 The New York Times > Week in Review > The Public Editor: Weapons of Mass Destruction? Or Mass Distraction?
But pinning this on Miller alone is both inaccurate and unfair: in one story on May 4, editors placed the headline "U.S. Experts Find Radioactive Material in Iraq" over a Miller piece even though she wrote, right at the top, that the discovery was very unlikely to be related to weaponry.
One old Times hand recently told me there was a period in the not-too-distant past when editors stressed the maxim "Don't get it first, get it right." That soon mutated into "Get it first and get it right." The next devolution was an obvious one.
Times reporters broke many stories before and after the war - but when the stories themselves later broke apart, in many instances Times readers never found out.

 Online NewsHour: The New York Times WMD Coverage -- May 26, 2004
The New York Times on Wednesday published a critique of its own reporting on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, and the editorial board admitted its coverage was flawed and relied too heavily on suspect intelligence sources.
Ray Suarez discusses the Times' self-assessment with Susan Moeller, a journalism professor at the University of Maryland, and Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, which, like the NewsHour's Media Unit, is funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts.
This is a pattern of coverage that was controversial at the time, that was controversial inside the Times and that the paper basically stoically stood by for more than a year.

But the growing piles of missiles and rockets were of primary concern for the soldiers in Iraq, where bombs made with loose ordinance by insurgents are the preferred method to target coalition forces.
Commanders in the 101st said knowing that an Iraqi tipped them off to the buried weapons could mean that residents in this largely Sunni Arab region about 150 miles north of Baghdad are beginning to warm up to coalition forces.
Army officials would not say who had informed them of the weapons caches or whether national security forces including Iraqi Army and police had helped.

 The Miller Mess: Lingering Issues Among the Answers - New York Times
THE good news is that the bad news didn't stop The New York Times from publishing a lengthy front-page article last Sunday about the issues facing Judith Miller and the paper, or from pushing Ms.
The Times must now face up to three major concerns raised by the leak investigation: First, the tendency by top editors to move cautiously to correct problems about prewar coverage.
Miller may still be best known for her role in a series of Times articles in 2002 and 2003 that strongly suggested Saddam Hussein already had or was acquiring an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.

 The Raw Story | NY Times calls it 'a bad leak' while Post said 'good'
In contrast, Sunday's Times editorial, "A Bad Leak," begins with "President Bush says he declassified portions of the prewar intelligence assessment on Iraq because he "wanted people to see the truth" about Iraq's weapons programs and to understand why he kept accusing Saddam Hussein of stockpiling weapons that turned out not to exist."
Last week, the CBS Public Eye blog reported on the widespread "debunkage" of the Post editorial that went on in the blogosphere beginning shortly after it was published.
Since the Times directly cited the Post in its editorial many readers (and especially liberal bloggers and media critics) are likely to assume that its title was deliberate.

 Khaleej Times Online - Weapons race will lead only to disaster
No one in his or her right senses can support the reckless race for weapons in view of the peril it poses and due to the fact that it is the anti-thesis of the concept of peaceful co-existence.
Nor will they have time to undertake such pursuits, as they will be busy implementing their manifestos in which they had made promises to the people, so that they can return to power on the strength of their performance.
There is urgency for more activated international efforts to rid the entire world of dangerous weapons build-up and also for responsible leaderships to concentrate on national development that will ensure a better life for their peoples.

They were surrendered for cash — ranging from $5 for a hand grenade to $1,000 for a heavy machine gun — as part of an agreement between the Iraqi government and U.S. military and followers of anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

The Great Depression and mistaken explanations of its cause gave us the New Deal and its assaults on the Constitution, in particular the New Deal assault on the principle that the lawmaking power of Congress cannot be delegated to regulatory agencies in the executive branch.
Since the time of the New Deal, "laws" passed by Congress are simply authorizations for executive branch agencies to legislate by writing the regulations that interpret and implement the acts passed by Congress.

Despite widespread public support of the federal assault weapons ban, which took dozens of military-style assault weapons off the streets, some argue that the law impinges on the rights of legitimate gun owners.

Thursday's arrests in Miami mark the third time in a year a major Western power has confronted the threat of home-grown terrorism.

That requires good police work and cooperation among law enforcement agencies.

What I'm not reading in the General Accounting Office's summaries on the effectiveness of "smart" weapons (editorial, July 11) are some important reasons that need to be stressed.
During the earliest stages of the Gulf War, "smart" weapons were used to suppress and destroy air defenses, ground-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery.
Then, reliance on "smart" weapons may be the only option.

The report will come as more bad news for President George W Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair, who are under increasing pressure from their American and British constituencies for allegedly "cooking" or exaggerating the threat posed by Saddam as a pretext for going to war against him.
The first, a 30-year veteran of the agency, complained that "the fixation on weapons is alienating intelligence staff", calling it an "obsession".
The DIA agent went on to say, in Chalabi's defense that "there were plenty of good reasons to attack Iraq, human rights, dictatorship, but the impetus to attack was the immediacy of a threat.
