@ryangrim There are multiple toxicology related issues plus issues with the various claims about events at Location 2 and the hospital which remain *highly* problematic. I'll spell them out for you.

1) the NATO toxicologists consulted in June agreed with the Douma team that the immediate onset of pulmonary oedema symptom of frothing was not consistent with chlorine. wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…

2) These victims would not have died on the spot, gathering in piles, and then produce foaming at the mouth. This finding was clearly spelled out in the original report but expunged, with no explanation, in the final report. wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/doc…

3) A further issue identified in the original report but expunged from the final report concerned how unlikely it appeared for there to have been any build up of gas sufficient to kill the victims almost instantaneously.

4) The original report discussed how it was considered highly unlikely that concentrations could have built up either in the building, where windows on each floor were all shattered, or in the basement

5) In fact, as set out in the original interim report, many witnesses claimed that large numbers of people died in the basement, even though no plausible explanation could be found as to how concentrations would have built up there.

6) It is also notable that some so-called 'Country X witnesses' reported some symptoms only associated with a nerve agent when, in fact no traces of nerve agents were ever found. @CL4Syr @MichaKobs

7) Other important findings, highlighted in the original interim report but left unresolved or obfuscated in the final report, concern the authenticity of some of the observed foam and the 're-positioning' bodies throughout the night of 7/8 April.

8) Indeed, @ClimateAudit notes that one victim appears to have foam added to her mouth after her body has been re-positioned:- climateaudit.org/2018/04/24/dou…

9) Regarding the @Dalatrm hospital claim you and @aaronjmate discuss elsewhere in this thread, he is clear that the hospital scenes were staged:-

10) These hospital scenes are generally reported as occurring circa 7pm. The alleged attack times are vary between 7 pm and some are as late as 8.30. Unless we believe those staging the hospital scenes anticipated an incoming chemical attack, questions are then raised about Loc2.

11) Here it is also worth while noting that a man at location 2 is also identified at the hospital scenes, taking photographs at both:-

12) Given these substantial issues, plus the ballistics noted elsewhere in this thread, and there are many more document here berlingroup21.org/background, it is an eminently reasonable request that the @opcw now allow *all* the douma inspectors to meet and review the investigation.
