Surely you can't be serious.

In a way, it's not surprising.
Most in government actually DO try to serve our country honorably, despite the horrendous inefficiency of the bureacracy.
Yet there are always those nasty few bad apples who sre so emotionally disturbed that they engage in remarkably insane activities.

My wild guess: this numnutz has no ideological complaints, simply fanatic about the possibility of bio-terrorist attacks that he initiates it on his own to increase funding "to do something about it". Kind of like a peddler giving out free samples to drum up sales.
Twisted, sick people.
(Pure speculation, but wouldn't surprise me.)

Actually, I am of the opinion that ANY federal worker who gets the opportunity to enrich themselves monetarily or in power base will do so. It is a matter of how far they are willing to go. Since September there have been all sorts of fairy tales and manipulations from every level of governent down to the local dog catcher in order to feed on some "War on Terrorism" pie.

Just ask the Lynx hair boys who glued lynx hair in areas where there were no lynx so they could "protect and study" the rare lynx. In reality they were just commiting fraud, stealing funds, and committing perjury. If these bozo's worked in a germ lab do you think they would be more ethically endowed?

One of the most reasoned retorts I've seen here on FR.

You're right - most are trying to serve as best they can. And, I believe that is especially true of those who are in these sensitive positions. (It's so much easy to be a federal union flake when you're working in the bowels of some agency building that we could just as easily do without.)

Glad to hear this news (and we've seen a number of these kind of stories) and I hope they have their man.

Holy cow Willie, I actually don't have anything bad to say about your comment. In fact, it may be spot on right.

Hell must be an icecube right now....:)

How can the "bureaucracy" have horrendous inefficiency if "most in government actually DO try to serve our country"???
