We have a situation, FRiends.

[Ironword]

Read it.

[Born to Conserve]

Oh sure, the President has not seen it, but we have . . . This is all bulls#!t.

[seeker41]

Yikes, no wonder some 150 or so first responders have been innoculated for smallpox.

Folded clothes contaminated by smallpox examined by Customs. Scarey, we are truely up against a vile and determined ememy!

[Illbay]

Is this a legitimate document? Anyone could have made this up, attached relevant and authentic-sounding references, etc. It isn't hard to mimic what we in the West think of as the "speech patterns" of a psycho like this.

Sorry, I'm just exercising a little healthy skepticism here.

[TopDog2]

This document doesn't seem authentic to me...

"Can we say . . . fa bri ca tion?"

Children!

THIS IS PURE BULL!

I've been saying that Anthrax spores could easily be released from a tall building. I am not happy to see my fears confirmed here.

We are deep in the weeds, taking mighty swings at flies and whiffing.

Each of us needs to be ready to fight this war on a personal level and that means the ability to quarantine our families at a moments' notice. Thsi will require food, water, ammo, and medicine.

[blam]

Bump.

We shall soon teach them a new vocabulary. I have told you before that acquiring weapons of mass destruction—chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear—is a religious duty. We are doing so. The world now knows about anthrax. Soon the Americans, the British, and others will also learn in great detail about hemorrhagic smallpox (and how it differs from malignant smallpox, meningococcemia, or severe acute leukemia). They will learn about Q fever, tularemia, Marburg, and other diseases. The great Satan, America, will once again also learn about hoof and mouth disease. Our friends, including Muslim brothers in England and Iraq, are helping us to prepare for all of this. Using substances like these not singly, but simultaneously and in concert, we shall disgorge the plague of plagues upon the infidels and destroy them, as we are commanded.

They REALLY want Mecca nuked.

Like the Japanese, muslims are about to reap the whirlwind for underestimating America.

[jlogajan]

A pretty obvious fake.

[mrsmith]

Nah, the anthrax should be used on money.

Cutaneous instead of the more deadly bronchial, but the effect on the value of the dollar (when no one will touch one) would be devastating.

"We have a situation friends"

The situation is this...

Gullible "the sky is falling" Liberal wannaFres posting crap.

[jlogajan]

The problem Islam has in releasing WMD is that the west has more/better WMD. If they think that we're just going to sit here and lose some significant percentage of our population to bio, chem, or nuke weapons and not strike back in terrible ways, they just aren't thinking straight. That's why this is a fake. Fake, fake, fake.

[damnlimey]

Seems like BS to me

I think the fact that this piece is copyrighted leads one to believe it is a created work. However, all the scenarios presented herein are possible, and in fact, likely as we go forward.

[CWOJackson]

Yep, some Special Forces trooper decided to leak this to the world so he picked the most obscure unheard of rag in the world to reveal it to.

BS!

Here are the editors' of World Future Society top 10 forecasts from Outlook 2002:

1. Future farmers could make more money from the air than the land.

2. Automated translation systems may one day allow people to communicate freely with others speaking different languages.(I think my little Sister first predicted this back in 1998)

3. Natural disasters could become more disastrous as the world's wetlands dry up.

4. Schools may solve behavior problems with better nutrition.

5. Get ready for 1 billion elderly people (age 60 and older) by 2020.

6. Vaccinations will be easier to swallow, as researchers find ways to genetically modify foods such as lettuce and rice with viral proteins to fight diseases.

7. Water shortages will become more frequent and more severe over the next two decades.

8. Time-pressed workers will increasingly seek "power leisure"—pursuits packed with intensive experiences that don't take up a lot of time.

9. Goodbye textbooks, hello networked learning: Printed and bound textbooks will disappear as interactive coursework is developed over the Internet.

10. Fish farming will overtake cattle ranching as a food source by 2010. Aquaculture has been the fastest-growing sector of the world food economy over the past decade.

Legitimate-looking....UNTIL PARAGRAPH 6.

Obviously a disjointed, patchwork phony. Intriguing reading, but as phony as a three-dollar bill.

I would suspect this is the fusion of parts of a legitimate transcript, with carefully inserted bullshit and disinformation.

Just my two cents....
