That was my first thought, dsc---was someone there with the purpose of starting an epidemic? But--if that were the case, it wouldn't make sense for them to release it on their own crowd.

We'll probably never know how this happened.

Sure it does, but you need tight tinfoil.

What you've got here is a simple case of Rove/Halliburton exterminating the lefties. After blowing up the levee, the duo paired up again to rid the U.S. of Sheehan and her ilk. Through the clever, insidious use of rabbit fever, they intend to destroy leftism where ever filthy people gather. They released small amounts of the contagion, but before they were able to deploy a lethal dose, they were overcome by B.O., swooned, and were carried away by Delta Force personnel.

On the contrary. "Those" "people" are the ones most likely to help it spread by the nature of their professed lifestyles
- communal living, "recreational" drugs that depress the immune system, and an abhorrence of soap.
