American ones, dumped at sea:
The numbers are staggering:
The Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste - either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels.
These weapons of mass destruction virtually ring the country, concealed off at least 11 states - six on the East Coast, two on the Gulf Coast, California, Hawaii and Alaska. Few, if any, state officials have been informed of their existence.
The chemical agents could pose a hazard for generations. The Army has examined only a few of its 26 dump zones and none in the past 30 years.
The Army can't say exactly where all the weapons were dumped from World War II to 1970. Army records are sketchy, missing or were destroyed.
The Army's secret ocean-dumping program spanned decades, from 1944 to 1970.
Let's note that the claim covers the Army's
admitted secret program; that doesn't mean they aren't continuing it to this day that they simply haven't admitted yet. Of course, there are also the WMDs the U.S. drops daily on Iraq and Afghanistan. No secret about those, except in the corporate media who likes to call them "conventional" weapons, when they mention them at all.
