Well, he's been read his rights and charged with "Conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction", among other offences.

It seems that US Federal Authorities have their own definition of WMDs.

If a home made bomb qualifies as a WMD, what about drones and aerial bombs such as are used by the US?

Is it just a sneaky way to justify Geedubya's claim that Iraq had WMDs?

Or does WMD only mean "Any weapon that is used against the US"?

Just asking, since the rest of the world seems to think it relates to Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Weapons which can destroy whole populations.
