    Cluster Bomb

    Danish newspaper, Information, writes about one of an unknown number of yet-to-detonate American manufactured cluster bombs scattered by Israeli fighter planes across the south of Lebanon:

    “There’s no doubt where this bomb, which is the size of a small torpedo, came from. Hebraic letters can be read on its metal casing, but most of the inscriptions are in English. It reads, “CBU” (Cluster Bomb Unit), “58B”, and “US Air Force”. The manufacturer is identified as Lanson Industries. The bomb was made a long time ago, before the end of the Vietnam war. You can tell from a marking on it stating that its warranty expires on February 7, 1974.”

    These things come with a warranty. Consider that for a moment. Then do it again.
