Also, when a picture of the damaged production facilities was shown on TV,
there was conveyor belt with several packets of pills on it giving the
impression the factory produced pills. But I know that at night in all the
factories I've seen, all the belts are cleared to avoid product contamination
and to keep date stamps accurate. The pills were clearly planted!

To play Devil's Advocate, the factory might not have had the same standards of
quality control and production than the plants you've seen. If the bulk of
your customers can't read, who cares about accurate date stamps? Same for
avoiding contamination: if leaving the pills out gives a very small (but
actual) chance of contamination, corners might be cut for various reasons.
The Army gaurds are a better arguement, I admit. Certainly the USgov
thought something more than asprin & anti-malarials were made there.
I guess in the GZG future, this strike would be carried out by orbiting a
SuperDreadnought and unlimbering the Ortillery...(see, this is actually on
topic!!)

valuable product exposed overnight. If it was a factory producing asprin or
similar, just letting the photographers through the factory filming
everything would reveal the truth - but they weren't. From the photo, it
looks like it was staged for the photographer - which means the asprin
was planted! Also, the situation reminded me a lot of the one in the Iraq in
the gulf
war, when the <quote>baby milk factory</quote> was bombed. In that
incident there were plenty of Iraqi workers wandering around in shot with
overalls marked with "Baby Milk Factory" in a foreign language (English)!
Pretty strange when you think about it! Often times, news reporters work in
near cooperation with terrorist organisations or being used by them.
