I am the eyewitness to an incident at Iowa State University in the fall semester of 1990.

I have repeatedly informed the FBI, CIA, CDC, DIA and all the other alphabets, as well as many of you.

This story would mesh into what I saw on a level of some sort.

For those of you without 8 years of biological training, the way to find the perps is to look for stray cases of infection. And I saw two.

Now I didn't put all this together until June of 2002 when I suddenly realized that the man with the sore on his face sitting in the waiting room of the student health center WAS the husband of the woman who sat across the table from me in class. She had the same sore, only on her forearm.

The sores had appeared "over the weekend" after she had come into class late. She had made a big production of why she was late as she was NEVER late.

She had stopped to get the mail and there was a package in the mail. She eagerly opened it without looking at the label. The dry ice fell out and shattered. She thought the package contained seeds. But there was a note in a language she did not recognize and she spoke Spanish and English. Suddenly she came to the conclusion that the contents of the package were not intended for her and she then looked at the label. It had her address but someone else's name.

So she looked the name up in the student directory and determined where he lived and hand delivered the package to him as she could not put it back through the mail as the shards of dry ice would no longer fit in the container.

I tried to figure out what was going on and asked some questions. The man whose name was on the package was a Pakistani. The address was "only a couple of numbers different", so it would have been in her apartment complex. The Pak said he was expecting the package.

This class only met on Thursday. This was the Thursday after the Thanksgiving break.

The following week, either Mon or Tues I sat next to this woman in the student health center. She was quite pale and she wanted to know why I was there. I said I was sick with something wrong with my tongue or head or sinuses. She started to tell me about her arm when the nurse called her name.

The next Thursday, (the 2nd one after Thanksgiving) she asked me if I recognized this sore on her arm. She said the physician told her it was a bug or spider bite. I'm an entomologist and did NOT recognize it at all. The she told the class that her husband had the same thing on his face. I can describe this sore today. She said it only hurt when she looked at it and it was burned black in the middle like burned brownies and had a circular bruise around the outside of it.

I saw the man sitting in the waiting room of the student health center on Friday December 14, 1990. His sore dripped profusely.

Anthrax isn't supposed to drip, but this did. Then I found in the CDC reports that the mailed anthrax dripped. Judith Miller in GERMS said that one of the postal worker's sore drip, drip, drip like a faucet. That is exactly what I observed.

THEN.....the 3rd Thursday after Thanksgiving was our last class before the final. The woman borrowed a book of mine. She dripped some of her drainage onto the page. I still own the book, but it is in safe hands now.

This spy story would mesh in with this account.

It would NOT be prudent for the spy in USAMRIID to steal the sample. He should only steal the secrets. The authorities have tested every speck in USAMRIID and not found this special kind, a mutant, that drips. The mailed anthrax was a mixture of regular genotype 62 and this drippy mutant also a genotype 62.

On October 10,11,12, 2001 depending on who you read, Iowa State University destroyed their collection of anthrax that had been kept in the vet school. They also destroyed (supposedly) all the records of who had access and any log in and log out of student participation.

This was 5 days after Bob Stevens died (October 5, 2001).

In April of 1992, ISU applied for and received a Section 18 from the EPA for the use of paraformaldehyde. This is listed on the anthrax clean-up page. It is signed by a lawyer who works for the USDA out of John Hopkins. The intended target is listed as "a dreaded disease of both livestock and man"

The timing of this application fits perfectly with how a lab is regulated. They would have been forced to get this in order to keep their certification current as they would have had time to fail two consecutive tests for certification between the time that it was stolen and the third certification test which they would not have been able to take without this "plan of action".

There are huge implications here. Careers are at stake, reputations are in the balance.

But you are dealing with the Little Red, White and Blue Hen. I fear only God. And right is right and wrong is wrong.

The innocent woman with the sore that sat across the table from me lived at 161 E. There was a Pak from Faisalabad living at 116 E. There was another Pak at the vet school also from Faisalabad.

You put it together.
