"Americans, I was under the impression that we'd be discovering much larger quantities of WMD. "

How much smallpox do you think it takes to unleash it on the world? Probably a few ounces would do. A couple of vials in a few people's pockets. You go try to find something like this.

As Rumsfeld said repeatedly, this is not something we will stumble onto, the information has to come from people who worked on it and know where it is.

That's not one of the WMD that I worry about.
Mankind had to cope with smallpox for many millenia prior to the advent of modern medicine. "Unleashing it on the world" would essentially be a non-event in the timeline of human history. Vaccines and medicines already exist for its treatment and prevention. I'm afraid you'll have to go frighten somebody else with that boogeyman, I'm more concerned with the invasion of deadly, Africanized honeybees from South America.
