Q: Did, somehow, the ames strain get to Saudi biodefense program, whoever runs it?
If they wanted a "vaccine", they need the germ to make it...
I understand your feelings, that was my first reaction to this story. Perhaps the best face I can put on it is to recall the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and 100th Battalion, which were made up entirely of Japanese-American volunteers, who were the most decorated unit in US military history. Of course, they served in the European theatre in WWII, not the Pacific theatre, but I would imagine that there were some Japanese-Americans who served in translation units in the Pacific.
Hopefully, these CEO's are a good example to the people of their ethnicity who are citizens or residents here.
If you were the head of the Saudi biodefense program...and you needed a sample of the Ames strain (in order to develop a vaccine)...where would you most likely go?
To AMRIID?
To Northern Arizona or any of the other universities who maintain samples?
To Bioport or Porton Down, on the record?
Or, off the record, to a principal of I & F Holdings NV?
Hell, you might even be a principal of I & F Holdings NV...
>>If you were the head of the Saudi biodefense program
WHo better to coordinate a warning shot across the bow of the USA contemplating what repercussions after 911 should be unleashed upon the world.
That right there proves he is a liar, and furthermore, HE knows it! [It is OK for islamofascists to lie to us infidels remember]
