If it were serious about contamination, it would have targeted the boards supplying drinking water to billions of people rather than raising its voice against the two soda companies. The fact that Kerala's government promptly banned both colas suggests that what's at stake is more about politics than pesticides. Jagmohan Manchanda New Delhi...

By blowing up planes over the Atlantic, they would make it nearly impossible to gather forensic evidence. Then after people returned to flying, the terrorists would strike again. That benign items--iPods and soda bottles, the stuff of teenagers' backpacks--could be turned into weapons of mass destruction seemed like a new, unsettling perversion. Or at least it felt...
