I've run across this yellow rain controversy in several of the publications
that I subscribe to. The story seems very confused. As far as I remember the
evidence for a toxin is based on sketchy reports from refugee camps and the
evidence against a toxin comes from two scientists from a reputable U.S.
university who went over and found that the yellow stuff is, in fact,
bee shit.

Since I haven't seen good hard evidence (pictures and chemical samples) I
tend to believe the bee shit reports. Not that I don't think the Ruskies
capable of using a yellow rain...they regularly piss on people.

When the enemy is as evil as the Soviets you are bound to get this kind of
rumor. Remember the psi scare where they were supposed to have discovered
how to harness psychic energy?
