Probably would be a good time to consider donating, in case there might be a need in the middle east!

Hey ... I have an idea.

Has anyone ever considered blood donation as a way for U.S. prisoners to earn a little cash or -- in some states -- time off for the good behavior that is donating to the for-profit biologicals arm of the Red Cross?

Particularly given the open-ended nature of our "War on Terror", probably a good idea to nail down a steady supply.

And, taking a page from our friends the Chicoms, prisoners -- particularly in Texas or Florida -- might also be a good source for organ donation.

Since this is occuring in bags manufactured by multiple companies, it's going to be time-consuming to figure out how the contaminant got there--unless finding out what the contaminant was somehow gave them a clue. I don't believe that they haven't been able to identify it yet. Unless it came from outer space or is some new lifeform, that statement is unbelieveable.
