Larry Kolodney observes widespread distrust and criticism of the Soviet
Union, and not enough for the Napalm-Bombing-USA.  In particular, because
CBS was not beneath Soviet helicopters recording the spraying of an
Afghani village with yellow rain ("How does it feel?"), U.S. government
evidence indicating the occurrence of such tactics is suspect.

As George Will said when the Pope was shot, and the implication of
the KGB:  One must disregard too much that is plausible, and believe
too much that is implausible in order to exonerate the KGB.

Yuri Andropov has had enough failures on his hand without adding
Afghanistan to them: why wouldn't he use chemical weapons?  Wouldn't you?
