Very few people care about the deadly anthrax that was mailed out mainly to active Democrats right after 9/11 and during our push for war, but even a Republican congressman is trying to get the FBI to release it's anthrax files to Congress. That plan was nixed by none other than Bush's synchophant, Alberto Gonzales. WHY and WHAT are they covering up?
27 strains went missing from the lab, including the microbes that nightmares are made of:
>"In addition to anthrax and Ebola, the specimens included hanta virus, simian AIDS virus and two that were labeled "unknown" - an Army euphemism for classified research whose subject was secret."
Got that?? SECRET. Deadly. Double deadly.
What's worse, is that Bush has allowed some of these specimens to be tested in 130 NEW locations here in the US when the problems that led to the first heist have never been solved.
>"But a review of hundreds of pages of interview transcripts, signed statements and internal memos related to the inquiry portrays a climate charged with bitter personal rivalries over credit for research, as well as allegations of sexual and ethnic harassment. The recriminations and unhappiness ultimately became a factor in the departures of at least five frustrated Fort Detrick scientists.
Two of the former scientists said that as recently as 1997, when they left, controls at Fort Detrick were so lax it wouldn't have been hard for someone with security clearance for its handful of labs to smuggle out biological specimens."
So what is the problem <here?>
