#1 I wonder what the availability of chlorine will be, given its past misuse. But if they don't use it, the coliform bacteria in that pool is going to be impressive.

#2 They could use an electrolysis method to generate chlorine from salt on the fly. Some big pools in our area do it; apparently it's cheaper and easier than buying and handling chlorine yourself.

#3 There's always iodine.

And do ya think we really have to worry about misuse of chlorine now? I tend to think not. Regime change, an' all.....

#7 Verlaine: Remember that not too long ago, al Qaeda was adding chlorine to car bombs trying to cause more casualties. So as useful as it is, it might be somewhat harder to get in Iraq.
