Dark secret
In the words of Princeton Lyman, the former U.S. ambassador to South Africa, ‘Basson proved to be a combination of Dr. Strangelove and Walter Mitty.’ D. John Tuter, who managed one of Project Coast’s front companies, testified at Bassons’s trial ‘Walter Basson was Project Coast---end of story.’
Now then, to get up-to-speed, read this short report from FAS.org: Dr. Death and do some further research and write a succinct report that details Project Coast. Your report should be provocative and take into consideration the following:
- Details of Project Coast: its inception, history, and shroud of secrecy, compartmentalization and organizational autonomy.
- What biological agents did scientists research and test?
- Walter Basson was a cardiologist, a physician---you know, “first do no harm”---so, how appropriate was the nom de guerre for Dr. Basson, Dr. Death? Is he South Africa’s Dr. Josef Mengele? Who was Dr. Daan Goosen? Where does Nelson Mandela fit in?
- Is South Africa a signatory on the BWC? If so, when?
- In the context of this conference, where is South Africa today? Wrap-up with a summary paragraph and whether something like this can happen again, or perhaps it's happening now?
