I have absolutely no idea how to react to this news item. None whatsoever.

Um, yeah, today is obviously for WTF? news.

Concerned doesn't cover it.

"said Wynne. '(Because) if I hit somebody with a nonlethal weapon and they claim that it injured them in a way that was not intended, I think that I would be vilified in the world press.'"

So, just to be clear. His concern is *not* that he might injure Americans or citizens of another country, but rather that he might end up the scapegoat, should said wrong-doer get injured.

Okay. Let's just hope the other half of his quote never made it into the wire story.

And, I would like to know where these non-lethal weapons *are* being tested. I believe that the Israelis were using sound waves that incapacitated the protesters.

Perhaps the Air Force has a bit too much tax money to play with.

If he's so concerned, the matter is simple. Test the damned things on HIM.
