Ed, have you read Ken Alibek’s patented method of concentrating a biological agent through use of silica? A method that then leads to “pure spores”?

I believe I looked at it the first time you brought it up.

But there's no reason to believe that such a process was used to create the attack spores. And there's every reason to believe the attack spores were created using standard techniques -- perhaps with a few tricks from the pesticide industry.

Just like TrebleRebel, you just look for things which you can twist to support your beliefs. If you want to believe that Alibek's process was used to create the attack spores, that's up to you. But, to convince anyone else, you need more proof than just your beliefs. You need to PROVE that that process resulted in some "signature" in the spores that wouldn't be there with any other process.

Scientists detected silicon in spores as a result of lab contamination back in 1980. That's still the best explanation for why AFIP detected silicon and oxygen via a energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (an instrument used to detect the presence of otherwise-unseen chemicals through characteristic wavelengths of X-ray light), even though no silica could be seen under a Scanning Electron Microscope.
