The agency should keep CWC information securely stored, and dissemination of it among government agencies should be prohibited. Trepidation about the constitutionality of the CWC is sound and fury signifying nothing. Striking the balance between law enforcement and individual liberties is what the Fourth Amendment intends. The level of intrusion the treaty requires to help rid the world of chemical weapons is manifestly reasonable. The answer is yes.
Chemical weapons are inherently genocidal.
They have little effect on well-equipped military forces but they kill unprotected civilians. Chemical weapons have not been part of U.S. military strategy for years. The key strategic task facing the United States is to minimize the threat of weapons of mass destruction in the hands of adversary states or terrorists. In an anarchic world, chemical weapons threaten people in even the strongest nations. It is what to do in the face of this threat, far more than the possibility that rights of privacy may be transgressed by foreign bogeymen, that is the real point of controversy.
