Pat sent me this:  "Thought you might like to report, that the CSI tear gas used in Cairo today per Hossam Hamlawy: http://www.arabawy.org/2011/11/19/mr-donald-smith-pigs-police/ and Salon:
is from one of the same teargas companies that supplies Israel, Combined Systems Inc., headquartered in Jamestown, PA: http://adalahny.org/press-releases-other/1-21-11-update-tear-gas-death-triggers-mobilization-against-israel-s-lethal-tear-gas
As you can see in the link above, CSI flies an Israeli flag at their Jamestown, PA Headquarters.
CSI also provided teargas used by Ben Ali's regime in tis failed attempt to stop protests. http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2011/01/tear-gas-canisters-in-tunisia.html
All of this US teargas is provided with the blessings of, and sometimes funding by, the US government."
