Biological weapons used on the DPRK.

I thought this AlJazeera report may be of some interest to you guys and was wondering if any of you may have further information on this.

I viewed it too. I don't know, I'm divided on this. On one hand the US can use whatever they want on any country, and some biological bombs isn't something they wouldn't consider. That they used depleted uranium shells on Iraq in the beginning of the 1990s perfectly proves that they don't care what the ammunition is made of, as long as it kills the people they shoot at, but also that they know that these countries can't retaliate in any meaningful way (except by harsh words in the UN building). And let's not forget the heroin operations in Laos/Vietnam, or what they do in South America.

But neither am I on the "side" of North Korea, and it is possible that it can indeed be a trick. I'm just unsure to trust the interviewees on their words, and especially with the security guards and the "translators" following them around.

To put the picture right, I more believe that the US did use biological weapons in the Korean War than it being a DPRK psychological operation, but I'm still undecided.

I feel the same way you do. As much as I hate the US government and recognize they would not even hesitate to do such things, I still recognize this could potentially be baseless propaganda.

I hope someone else has done more research into this matter.

Wasn't this in William Blum's Killing Hope?

According to China, the US did the same to North Eastern Chinese provinces.

The government launched a comprehensive campaign to eradicate the effects of American biological warfare.

Very interesting. It seems that the US government had a strong interest in biological warfare during at least one period of time.
