During the [[Korean War]], [[Wilfred Burchett]] of the [[extremist|extreme]] [[leftist]] New York ''[[Guardian]]'' newspaper made false reports on American use of [[germ warfare]]. Burchett accused the Americans of perpetrating "the most monstrous crimes against humanity."  He said that in germ warfare the Americans had launched upon mankind a weapon more frightful than the [[atomic bomb]].
