"It's a hard, hard, hard thing to do and way beyond the capacity" of groups such as the al-Qaida terrorist network or militia organizations, he said.

But within the capacity of home-grown American "hate" groups? Which is it, folks?

However, Zelicoff - who stressed he has no information on the threats beyond what he has read in newspapers - said Iraq has the necessary sophistication, based on information released by a United Nations special commission that did weapons inspections in Iraq through much of the 1990s before Iraq closed its borders to inspections.

"They had the drying equipment; they had the milling equipment; they had the aerosol testing equipment, the expertise on staff in engineering and physics, to do this kind of work," he said.

But not beyond their budget!

The point of the terrorist network is that it is a loosely knit group of cells, all of whom are committed to the downfall of the United States, and dedicated to helping out in each other's plots. For instance, when the FBI stormed a NJ house where a cell was mixing a chemical bomb planned for the UN a couple years ago, they found a famous terrorist bomb expert from Peru with the al-Qaida members. In another case, the FBI also picked up a member of the Japanese Red Army who was also doing specialized work for al-Qaida. (See Yossef Bodany's book TERROR on the first World Trade Center bombing.)

What people aren't yet absorbing is that we are fighting an alliance of world terrorist groups! Al-Qaida is just in the limelight right now.

Of course not. But whoever dispersed it, didn't have to make it themselves. It could have been stolen from an American laboratory. Although, if stolen in a large enough quanitity, we probably would know about it. And since they are saying that if would be difficult to reproduce, that brings us back to Iraq or the Russian black market.

The admin and the Clinton/Reno perverts ( most of the FBI) would love to pin it on Waco types......but given the MASSIVE giveaways everyday in the form of unscreened foreign nationals inside our labs and privy to EVERYTHING, at all hours of the night and day, unlimited access ; Al Quaeda could very easily manufacture high-dispersal spores inside the university/research lab environment right under academia's twisted nose......IMHO and observation !
