I also realize that seeing pictures of WEAPONIZED spores that are COATED with silica is also hard for you to handle.

I don't know what leads you to that absurd and totally mistaken belief. (You seem to be plagued with mistaken beliefs.) I have the pictures of the Dugway spores on my web site. In my comments, I go into detail on how the "coating" was done and why there was no similar coating on clumps of two or more spores.

I'm working on a separate web page which will use illustrations to explain why the silica particles cling to the single spores but not to the tiny clumps. It will also describe why van der Waals forces will bind together lactose particles but will have negligible binding effect on spores.

Solid facts are ALWAYS welcome with me, even if they show I was wrong about something -- especially if they show I was wrong about something. Those Dugway photos explained a great deal, as did the explanations within the article. While they didn't show I was wrong about the attack anthrax, they showed that things were done to weaponize spores during the Cold War that seem antiquated today.

Because I want to get the new web page done, I'm going to have to reduce the time I spend arguing with someone who absolutely REFUSES to look at facts and who just chants mindless slogans the way you do.

I realize you cannot handle the FACT that AFIP explicitly stated in VERY CLEAR English that silica was a key aerosol enabling component of the Daschle anthrax.

I can handle it with no problem whatsoever. It is YOU who cannot handle even the possibility that AFIP screwed up. You just change the subject whenever I ask you how they failed to notice the "polymerized glass" in the Daschle anthrax.

You suggest that Geisbert would be a "baffoon" if he made a mistake. Evidently, you believe he, too, must be totally infallable. Those seem to be the only ways you can describe people. They are either baffoons or infallable.

When I point out that Giesbert's boss told a Congressional Committee that Geisbert was inexperienced with weaponized materials and made a mistake, you just change the subject again.

Your arguments are being reduced to the mindless chanting of slogans: AFIP is infallable! Geisbert is infallable! Van der Waals forces bind everything!

It's a big waste of time to argue with someone who just mindlessly chants slogans -- particularly if the slogans are STUPID. But, I'll continue to do it from time to time because the arguments help me understand how conspiracy theorists think and how they avoid discussing facts.

Alibek: (laughing) Yeah, because there is no principle for coating. This is one mistake, hopefully, which just comes from the media.
