I’m impressed - you didn’t use your usual “early panicky days” highlighted in red. You just highlighted “nearly” and “almost” a few times, to try to downplay the significance of Detrick “accidently forgetting” to tell the General that, well actually, they did make a powder. But it was just a teensy, weensy amount of Ames spore powder - and it was just a teensy bit identical to the powder that was sent to Daschle and Leahy. Hey, no big deal.
2006 could be the “early panicky days” - or does that date really say June 2002? Or maybe even October 2001 if you look at it just right?
That's called an assumption. There is absolutely NO reason to believe the powder was made from the Ames strain. They are only talking about how the powder LOOKED. A powder made from the Vollum strain or some other strain would not LOOK any different than a powder made from the Ames strain.
And even if it WAS the Ames strain, there could have been many reasons for creating it. There are news reports that they were making powders from Ames at Battelle and had reasons for doing so. Therefore, IF the attack powder was made at one of those facilities (which is EXTREMELY unlikely), there's no way to know which one made it -- using only publicly available information.
Your assumptions and beliefs may make the Fox article important in your eyes, but to the rest of the world it is clearly a manufactured story of little real significance.
