"However as most of the public believed the story about Dolly and I assume still do, It WOULD be good raw material for a raw army."

You obviously are much better informed than you came across at first. Why feed the public's ill-informed nightmares? The trouble with BSing the public is that, sooner or later, they find out.

"If they were born on an Island and raised by a government think tank, well I guess they would beholden to them but somehow that is not the same to me as people born in my neighborhood."

Cloning is not the enabling technology here. The method of raising the children is. Children in the Middle East are already being raised to be human bombs. None of them are clones.

"However, people knew of Ceaucescu's orphan army. If they were cloned no one would necessarily know they existed."

If we had the technology to bring babies to term in vitro, maybe, but that does not depend on cloning. All they would have to do is collect excess sperm and eggs from fertility clinics. No matter how they did it I seriously doubt it could be kept secret. It takes a lot of resources to raise an army of children, and global communication is getting better all the time.

"Many of the top scientists involved in that branch of Nazi 'science' came to the states and continued their research as did Von Brown."

What does that have to do with the reasons for banning human cloning? The Nazis were working on nuclear weapons too. Should we have avoided becoming a nuclear power because the Nazis were working on it? Should we have abandoned our rocket program for the same reason?

I really think that feeding the public's hysteria on this is a bad idea. Better to tell them what the real problems are.
