Testimony of Dr. Christine M. Gosden
Before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Technology, Terrorism and Government and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Chemical and Biological Weapons Threats to America: Are We Prepared? Wednesday, April 22, 1998
Introduction It is a very special honour to testify before this committee. Chemical and biological weapons are not humane weapons which kill rapidly and mercifully. I have recently witnessed the long-term effects of the chemical weapons attack on the large civilian population in Northern Iraq, in the town of Halabja. I was shocked by the devastating effects of these weapons which have caused problems such as cancers, blindness and congenital malformations. My experiences of the devastating power of these weapons have emphasized the importance of protecting individuals and nations against chemical and biological weapons attacks. Having seen and experienced their suffering and heart their pleas for help, I know I must do everything I can to help the people of Halabja and enter into a partnership with them to try to find effective therapies for bodies, minds and spirits which have been affected by the winds of death and destruction wrought by clouds of toxic weapons
