Is that not from "The Rock"? And wasn't it basically completely made-up, as a depiction of chemical warfare devices? So, maybe they were designer bath bombs before they were dangerous nerve gas weapons?



“We invented this whole string of glass pearls concept, invented out of whole cloth,” he says. “Because it gave us these little round globules with green in them that you could see and be frightened of. And when one of those globules threatened to break, that’s when the bad stuff would happen. But it’s totally invented.”


What Weisberg didn’t expect when adding these “totally invented” glass pearls to the story of The Rock in 1994 was that eight years later they would become a central element of MI6 intelligence into Iraq’s chemical weapons capabilities, which claimed that nerve agents VX, sarin and soman were being produced in the Al-Yarmuk facility and contained in “linked hollow glass spheres.”


According to the Chilcot Inquiry, “one recipient” of the report did put a hand up to highlight similarities to the film (and that “glass containers were not typically used in chemical munitions”), but by the time the source had been confirmed as being bogus, it was too late: the Iraq War had started and Saddam Hussein’s regime had been toppled.


“What staggers me is whoever was debriefing this source didn’t take that information to the nearest chemical weapons expert, who immediately would have debunked it as bullshit,” says Weisberg. “Because it’s made up!”

That was pretty good. I grew up in rural Springfield, MA. There was a large wooded area behind our house. We'd find copperheads in there a couple of times per year. Fckrs were aggressive. Instead of running FROM you, they'd chase you. (or that's how my foggy memory remembers it some 60+ years ago.

The only copperhead I have seen was already dead on a log road back in 1989. When fishing we smelled cucumber so maybe one was close by. I didn't know copperheads were aggressive. Water Moccasins are supposed to be really aggressive but we don't have them here AFAIK.

I remember that exact line from the notes the lecturer gave us when I was at university (goddam, decades ago). Probably he cribbed it from whatever book that is, or (just possibly, a small chance), that's a textbook he went on to write.
