The Pentagon considered developing a chemical weapon which would
make enemy soldiers sexually attracted to each other, thus undermining their morale. Needless to say, this hasn't gone over well with watchdog groups:
"Humiliating your enemy with gay sex sounds a lot like what happened at Abu Ghraib," observed Edward Hammond of the Sunshine Project, a watchdog group that monitors research into biological and chemical weapons and that was responsible for the proposal's disclosure.
Steve Ralls, a spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), said, "It is a homophobic and delusional proposition for the Pentagon to assume a gay opponent is any less formidable than a straight one."
But of course, a war with Iraq was necessary to destroy their stockpiles of chemical weapons.
