I hope you're not suggesting that AQ is behind the outbreak of Rabies, which has been a cyclical problem here in the Northeast for as long as I can remember. Back in 1993, there were dozens and dozens of reports of rapid skunks, raccoons, foxes, and coyotes. The number of reported incidents then declined over the next few years and now it is back on the increase and in a few years it will go down again, and then back up again, etc. Sort of like economic cycles and global warming.

There was some mention of AQ having the capability to use aerosoled rabies in a bio attack. If they did so, I would imagine that a large number of people from the same geographic area would become ill.

Personally, I think they would go for the smallpox.

I don't need to suggest that AQ is behind any outbreaks. The FBI has done a decent job of listing Rabies as a bio-terror agent. I listed the CDC link regarding rabies at the end of my rabies post so that anyone who is interested could check-out the incident norms for their area.

I don't think that's what all meant at all, on the contrary I think the research proves that all doesn't think so? But I do know I'm taking my mean , huge Sheppard walking past that mosque I've posted about very soon -evil grin-
