		Magnetic weapons is one that uses magnetic fields to accelerate and propel projectiles, or to focus charged particle beams.

	sociology - Weapon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A weapon is a tool which can be used during combat to kill or incapacitate, to destroy property, or to otherwise render resources non-functional or unavailable.
		Far greater energy can be stored in a composite bow than a wooden bow of the same weight due to clever mechanical design and choice of materials, but militarily such weapons were mostly limited to use in dry climates since traditional designs are held together by animal glue (chemically similar to gelatin).
		The mutual possession of these by the United States and the Soviet Union ensured that either nation could inflict terrible damage on the other; so terrible, in fact, that neither nation was prepared to instigate direct, all-out war with the other.

	Medical/Biological Nature of the Threat of Biological Weapons to U.S. Security (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		These agents that may be used as biological weapons are diverse and widely distributed in nature--they include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and the toxins they produce--they are found naturally in soils, waters, plants, and animals.
		Thus the likely outcome of a biological weapons attack will depend upon the specific agent that is used, the susceptibility of the population that is attacked, and the availability of medicinals for treating infected individuals so as to prevent disease and death.
		Biological weapons treaties are virtually unverifiable because of the simplicity and speed at which biological weapons can be produced, and the dual nature of all the equipment needed for their production.

	NEW NON-LETHAL WEAPONS SYSTEMS MAY BE USED AGAINST U.S. CITIZENS
		The article goes on to describe that the aim of these new weapons is to control or alter the psyche or interfere with the various parts of the body in such a way as to confuse or destroy the inner-body signals which keep the living system operational.
		New energy weapons have been described as being capable of creating symptoms of sea sickness, signals can be used to resonate the inner organs to cause pain and spasms, induce epileptic-like seizures or cause cardiac arrest.
		The idea that non-lethal weapons could be used in conflicts with the emerging threats of "non-state" actors presupposes that all of the conflict participants are operating at the same "logic or rational thought basis" or that they make decisions based on similar value-sets.

	Article: Energy Weapons: Not Just For Buck Rogers Any More, by Gary Lai
		Laser weapons are not just the stuff of Buck Rogers any more, and the THEL program is just a small component of a multi-billion dollar effort by the U.S. military to introduce laser weapons to the battlefield.
		Laser weapons require a tremendous input of energy, ranging from tens of kilowatts to tens of megawatts.
		Although handheld laser weapons may remain a fantasy forever, based on foreseeable advances in technology, a rifle-sized solid-state laser weapon may exist in the far, far future.

		Also note that the designs in the list are probably optimized for high exhaust velocities at the expense of thrust.

		This fictional ship is a species of Ion drive utilizing cadmium and powered by deuterium fusion.

		This was the last reference to non-lethal weapons in the media at large.
		I assumed that the Pentagon was in its last stages of development and had bumped the project up to top-secret mode, but a SARA press agent cagily informed me on the phone that they were no longer involved in non-lethal acoustics research.
		For years, self-proclaimed futurologists such as the husband-wife team Janet and Chris Morris have been prophesying a different kind of ultrasound weapon: acoustic voice plants that can make the target imagine to be hearing voices inside his or her head.

	Congressman Maurice Hinchey (NY22) :: How I Voted :: On the Liberation of Iraq- Passed
		In fact, as we all remember, the main reasons for war given by the president and his allies were the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction alleged to be present in Iraq and the alleged alliance between Saddam Hussein and the perpetrators of the September 11th attacks.
		All of the evidence now indicates that both of these dangers were fictional.
		One of the war justifications listed by the resolution is Saddam's 1998 use of chemical weapons, which resulted in the deaths of 5,000 Kurds.

	AEJMC Archives -- January 2001, week 2 (#53)
		But the documentation is, for the most part, suppressed in the text-presumably in order to supply the narrative with a surface of persuasive immediacy and impenetrable omniscience.[60] Dupee noted that Capote's claims to veracity were not set forth in any detail in his book.
		He immediately compared his notes with those of the wire-service representatives standing on either side of him-they were identical...Brown is today convinced that Smith did not apologize.[77] Tompkins concluded that Capote, the novelist, prevailed over Capote, the journalist, in the writing of In Cold Blood.
		Nye said Capote's account was incorrect: It was a fiction thing, and being a young officer, I took offense at the fact that he didn't tell the truth.

	Bush Lies...
		The point is the downgrading of truth and honesty from principles with universal meaning to partisan weapons to be sheathed or drawn as necessary.
		In the interview, Bush said weapons had been found, but in elaborating, he mentioned only the trailers, which the CIA has concluded were likely used for production of biological weapons." There was no statement of fact, there was no smoking gun.
		One example of misinformation, according to physicist and former weapons inspector David Albright, was the Bush administration’s leak to the media in September about Iraq’s attempt to import aluminum tubes which administration officials claimed were headed for Iraq’s nuclear program.

	IGN: Secret Weapons Over Normandy Preview
		In our most recent playtime with Secret Weapons Over Normandy, the subtle depth of the control system and the overall presentation of WWII flight combat stood out as two of the game's strongest points.
		The game mixes fictional characters with real events and people so that the missions you undertake could've actually happened during WWII but as a pilot, you get the added benefit of lock-on cameras and lead targeting.
		The targeting system that allows you to quickly bring up air or ground targets or instantly pivots the camera around so that your plane and the enemy in question are on screen at the same time are all going to keep the emphasis on fast-paced dogfighting.

	Outside View: Flawed Missile War Game
		The addled thinking of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency was on full display in late January when MDA officials conducted a missile defense war game on Capitol Hill.
		In this war game, Midland, a fictional island nation located in the Sea of Japan, decides to attack its neighbors, South Korea and Japan.
		According to the formal briefing presented to participants and observers, this is because: "Tensions between Midland and Japan and South Korea have increased over oil reserves and fishing rights." In this war game, Midland is not allowed to also attack North Korea because, well, Midland is North Korea.
