Experts detail risks of bioagent program
The growth in research meant to protect the U.S. from bioterrorism is overwhelming the oversight system, a House panel is told.
Comment:
Great article, most notable for the example it did not give.
Microbiologist Ali Al-Timimi worked in the same building with famed anthrax bioweaponeers and was sentenced to life plus 70 years for sedition. Yet, GMU just received a $25 million federal grant from NIH for a BL-3 lab for work with anthrax near the capitol while major issues remain unaddressed by the University or federal officials.
Al-Timimi at one point had an office about 15 feet from Ken and former USAMRIID head Charles Bailey, a prolific researcher who has published on the Ames anthrax strain.
Ali had a high security clearance for mathematical support work for the Navy, as explained by Milton Viorst in his article “The Educaiton of Ali Al-Timimi.”
To not address this issue — and provide answers bearing on this matter — is like talking about how the skies were sunny on December 7, 1941 and great for flying.
