EUROPE-WIDE ALARM FOR HEROIN CUT WITH ANTHRAX

According to a report broadcast by "Cadena Ser," a private Spanish radio station, laboratory analysts of Europol issued a warning to all drug squads in Europe, alerting the police to the arrival of heroin cut with anthrax, originating from Afghanistan. Traces of anthrax were found in the body of a Norwegian drug addict, who died of an overdose.

I wonder if the anthrax is being produced in the same labs as heroin? Especially in Afghanistan, maybe there are limited numbers of labs so they combine the purposes.

I was thinking that perhaps this was an accidental contamination of heroin with anthrax, in a lab in Afghanistan. It's hard to see what the Taliban or al-Qaeda would gain from doing this on purpose -- they'd reduce demand for the heroin that they profit from, while only killing the least productive (to say the least) members of our society.

Now I know why they called red cocaine. How convenient to bring disease under the cover of the drug trade.

.... or lacing marijuana with anthrax spores -- instead of injecting the spores with heroin, or sniffing them into the sinuses with cocaine, the user would inhale deeply and directly into the lungs.

Sounds like BS to me. BS with a purpose, though.

If true, it's not a very smart business practice to kill your customers.

So al-Qaida was testing its Anthrax capabilities with those attacks.

Another good reason to fire bomb the poppy fields of Afganistan to dust.

Who cares if these dope fiends die, not I.

Some people care whether others live or die. You presume to stand in judgment over them; fat, dumb and happy. Other phrases with which I'm guessing you have a more than passing familiarity:

-who cares if they die, they're "Red".

-who cares if they die, they're Muslims.

-who cares if they die, they don't speak english.

-who cares if they die, they're felons.

-who cares if they die, they're alcoholics.

-who cares if they die, they're prescription drug abusers

-who cares if they die, they're not Americans.

-who cares if they die, they're South American peasants.

-who cares if they die, they're savages.

-who cares if they die, they're not Real Christians.

-who cares if they die, they're gay.

-who cares if they die, they're Harlots!

-who cares if they die, they're accused of a crime.

-who cares if they die, they're all guilty anyway.

-who cares if they die, they're not family.

-who cares if they die, I'm too busy stuffing my shiny, round, Happygal face with Turkey, gravy and extra helpings of gravy smothered in gravy! And don't forget the alcohol.

Who cares if they are all children of God?
Who cares to lend a hand?
Who cares to help a weaker person in their time of need?
Who cares if they have fallen?
Who cares to help them to their feet?
Who cares if I turn a blind eye?
Who cares if your child dies?.

When you are asked to account for your actions in life, who will stand proudly at your side? Not I.

Terrible thing is that the users won't quit, even with the threat of death over their heads.

Nope. Not eating turkey...I'm in Ireland! :-)

And I don't care much for heroin users or any drug abusers. I've seen what they've done to people close to me. You don't like that? Sue me!

And before you try to impose some sort of guilt trip on me, yer pretty snappy with yer judgements there yerself!

Sorry then, I meant potatos and gravy. Lots of gravy.

Sue you? That's crazy talk! I prefer to just publicly expose you as a bloodthirsty, careless, self-righteous bigmouth.

And before you try to impose some sort of guilt trip on me, yer pretty snappy with yer judgements there yerself!

Correct. Snappy, accurate, and NOT presuming to judge you as deserving of death by Anthrax infection.

It won't come as any surprise to you, melinator, that in spite of John Donne's poetry, most men send not to know for whom the bell tolls. So long as it doesn't toll for us.

The poppies are grown in Afghanistan, but shipped out of country to be processed into heroin elsewhere. The Muslim rebel terrorist network has utility beyond bombings.

Actually, anthrax is easy to grow. It’s sort of like that blue stuff that grows on old food in my refrigerator. Put a little of it in the right place and it will grow all by itself. The trick is growing it without being infected by it. There is probably far more anthrax in science labs around the world than we know about.

That maybe true but how would heroin laced with anthrax show up in the blood in someone in Norway?
