And Emma's point I think was "No WMD left behind" ;-)

Bell curve rules as a grading system.

I agree. I don't think these weapons meet the WMD standard, and trying to say that they do, or that there's one international standard and one domestic standard unnecessarily complicates a case that will be most successful if kept simple.

I will never understand the urge to give that much recognition to plain murderers - mass or not.

About how much in a mass, I read that in marketing it is appealing to the greater part of the bell curve of a population. I guess that means omitting the tails which leaves 60-80%. Should we apply the same metric to WMDs?

Would an explosive packed
