AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT

In articles, blogs and elsewhere, I've seen "weapons of mass destruction" abbreviated in two fashions: WMD, and WMDs. Which is correct? I'd say WMD, because the word "weapons" is already plural. "WMDs" is, then, a tad redundant ("Weapons of Mass Destructions"). It reminds me of how the plural for Attorney General is "Attorneys General".

On a completely unrelated note, last night's Jay Leno Monologue Scorecard reads:
Hillary Clinton 5
Martha Stewart 4
Scott/Laci Peterson 2
OJ Simpson 0
Ok those are just estimates. Back to finals...
