You don't have any actual scientific documents to back up your assertion... do you?

What was the anthrax attack? Will we ever know? What point do they not release info. for cause of panic?

According to a man who fills in for Rush Limbaugh, former mayer of Sandiego, our brilliant beuarocrats gave Castro some West Nile Virus samples back in the 90s I think it was. Castro showed an interest in curing West Nile Virus. Isn't it great the way the world is getting along so well?

So has smallpox why is our country prepping for vaccination storage? Because it can return naturally,? no, because wackos have viles of it.

Very good.

Review my comments from the past on this subject.

My thinking is it is a distinct possiblity. I remember an article in the London Times (a few years ago) warning of a future Islamic attack using a manipulated virus-and a version of West Nile showed up shortly after that. Yes West Nile virus has been around for years, but I think this is a different version of it--which is precisely what terrorists try to do to affect new bio weapons; take an old virus and make a newer, more virulent strain of it.

Look in the London Times past issues beginning in 1999. I think Jessica Stern was one of the authors of some of those published warnings.

It's kinda like the Anthrax incident-Someone tries to kill large groups of people but they arent very adept at manipulating the virus. So far so good, for us!

Isn't the purpose of terrorism to affect a change in political policy through fear in response to the threat of harm (or death) to persons or property? If so, any terrorists who may have done this have failed to adequately tie their actions to the desired policy they wish to change.

No, I don't think it is an intentional act of terrorism.

I apparently had it only half-right. We gave samples to Iraq. Saddam and Castro appear to be good buddies.

Here are some links....

--- gave samples to Iraq, who might have given them to Cuba


Daily Home - A gift Iraq can't wait to return

... Incredibly stupid comes to mind as we gave the samples to Iraq. ...

No, I don't think it is an intentional act of terrorism.

How about an international act of extermination?

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I think it is a highly distinct possibility. I started this thread to discuss and gather all the information.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

These were the links I was looking for, thanks.

There are many facets of terrorism. While the main definition involves (a logical) political cause. Since when has the terrorism of today been logical, with that of Saddam Hussein and Usama Bin Laden? They hate us and they will kill themselves to meet 72 virgins. There is no logic in this type of vile hate.

Thanks for the updated map. It seems the terrorists and the West Nile Virus lack in the same area.

Looks like the mosquitoes are taking I-80 West and I-95 North and South from the NYC area.
