According to this story, which I found (credited to Ian) at
http://www.sightings.com/ufo2/biotesting.htm, the government claimed
that the agents it was using were not harmful. It seems that when a
substance was found to be dangerous, the government stopped using it.
Whether the government truly believed that the biochem agents were
harmless or not, we don't know; but undoubtedly the soldiers involved
were told that they were safe.
Dumping chemicals they believed to be harmless on civilian populations
is a different matter from shooting them.
