An international Citizens’ Weapons Inspection Team, led by Canadian Member of Parliament Libby Davies was denied entry to determine the presence or absence of weapons of mass destruction at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, Washington, a nuclear submarine base less than 100 miles from Canada. The group hoped to “illustrate the paradoxical behavior by nuclear weapons states . . . threatening military force to ensure that a Third World Country has no weapons of mass destruction.”
