I fail to see how anybody can read these conclusions,
and not come away totally convinced that our front-line
military personnel are now under biological attack ...
... from within their own organizations, and 
by their own government!!

Please, SOMEBODY, prove me wrong about this!!

"The Rockefeller Report" is now at:

  http://www.gulfweb.org/bigdoc/rockrep.cfm


Finding "A":

For at least 50 years, DOD has knowingly exposed military
personnel to potentially dangerous substances, often in secret.


Finding "B":

DOD has repeatedly failed to comply with required ethical
standards when using human subjects in military research
during war or threat of war.


Finding "C":

DOD incorrectly claims that since their goal was treatment,
the use of investigational drugs in the Persian Gulf War
was not research.


Finding "D":

DOD used investigational drugs in the Persian Gulf War in
ways that were not effective.


Finding "E":

DOD did not know whether pyridostigmine bromide would be
safe for use by U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf War.


Finding "F":

When U.S. troops were sent to the Persian Gulf in 1994,
DOD still did not have proof that pyridostigmine bromide
was safe for use as an antidote enhancer.


Finding "G":

Pyridostigmine may be more dangerous in combination with
pesticides or other exposures.


Finding "H":

The safety of the botulism vaccine was not established prior
to the Persian Gulf War and remains uncertain.


Finding "I":

Records of anthrax vaccine are not suitable to evaluate safety.


Finding "J":

Army regulations exempt informed consent for volunteers in
some types of military studies.


Finding "K":

DOD and DVA have repeatedly failed to provide information
and medical follow-up to those who participate in military
research or are ordered to take investigational drugs.


Finding "L":

The federal government has failed to support scientific
studies that provide information about reproductive problems
experienced by veterans who were intentionally exposed to
potentially dangerous substances.


Finding "M":

The federal government has also failed to support scientific
studies that provide timely information for compensation 
decisions regarding military personnel who were harmed by
various exposures.


Finding "N":

Participation in military research is rarely included in
military medical records, making it impossible to support a
veteran's claim for service-connected disabilities from
military research.


Finding "O":

DOD has demonstrated a pattern of misrepresenting the
danger of various military exposures that continues today.
