The anthrax that was used in those attacks wasn't just scooped up off a farm. It was weaponized; specifically engineered to have a far higher lethality than just ordinary anthrax found in nature. This woman is fortunate to be alive.

A large enough quantity of that type of anthrax dispensed in the proper manner can potentially kill thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

It was weaponized

If I remember correctly, wasn't it identified as a strain made in the good ol' USA?

My recollection was that they tried to mount a witch hunt against 'militias' and drained some ponds looking for a smoking gun.

It strains credulity to think something as tightly controlled as US engineered, weapons-grade Anthrax would be in the possession of anyone other than a government agency.

The spin at the time was that we exported this stuff to Saddam(?!?!) who later supplied it to domestic terror operatives here.

I'm not sure anyone actually bought that particular line of Shiite spin, but I think that was the line.

Anybody else remember that?
