The Chemical Weapons Convention (or CWC) forbids the use of riot control agents like pepper spray in war. But the United States, which signed the CWC in 1997, has announced its interest in applying "calmative gases" in the war against Iraq. Although such agents might make victory swifter and less bloody, Britain is strongly opposed to their use. Also on the show: reading the media on war, and the plans of anti-war protesters - now that the war has begun.
