Intelligence sources think that if attacked, Saddam would unleash attackers armed with smallpox in the United States and Britain.Well, anthrax really. But that threat is -- how shall I put it? -- a little too concrete. For now, anyway. The deconditioning will take a few more weeks. But aside from that calculated nuance, this is exactly what I've been telling everyone for the past six months. From the horse's mouth -- or rather, from the Vice-President of the United States.

The only known remaining stocks of virus are in two laboratories, one at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and the other in Russia.
Um, not exactly...
Russia has 20 tons of the stuff (and no controls)...
The Demon in the Freezer And if it gets loosed on a world with NO immunity, well...

There was a program on Discovery about a week or two ago concerning crocodile blood. It seems crocs (and komodo dragons) have mouths full of bacteria. Well, someone decided to find out why they never developed any bacterial diseases. Turns out they have something in their blood that destroys all (repeat: all) bacteria. They are still developing it but there may be a panacea for all bacterial diseases. I don't suppose anyone else caught that show?
