America does not have an active bio-warfare program. Unlike Russia ... the name Ken Alibek ring any bells ?

This was something that was accidentally discovered and there is a book called Demon in the Freezer that goes into a lot more detail that this.

The countries we want to stop WMD work, such as Iran and North Korea are either enemies of the United States, or enemies of our allies like Japan, South Korea, and Israel.

Nothing hypocritical about this - we want ourselves to be better armed than our possible military opponents.

PS: It's not clear this scientist was working for the US Government or working for an independent private laboratory.

Will you quit pointing out our double standards when we are trying to bring freedom to the world?

It comes down to who are you going to trust.
These guys? or...

Or the freely elected leadership and institutions of America?

OK, Well then just choose the lesser of the two evils. :)

That's easy. With the regime changes brought on by 9/11, the US now has new potential clients to sell these things too! Isn't that wonderful?
