...bribes flow through politics is that the politicians who would have to rewrite the laws have the greatest interest in not changing them. Arizona Republican John McCain and Wisconsin Democrat Russ Feingold have been hollering in the wilderness for two years, trying to persuade their fellow Senators to clean up the system.

While we're glad that a glaring gap in the record is being filled and that researchers are taking their first serious look at the long-term consequences of exposure to low levels of chemical munitions, we must return to first principles. The "syndrome" is a beast with many heads. It's not likely that one factor--even exposure to chemical weapons-- caused all the illness we see among...
