SADDAM'S FINGERPRINTS ON 1993 N.Y. BOMBINGS

p.s. - By the way, the picture above is the lesion caused by skin anthrax, as shown on the infant son of an ABCNEWS producer, which does not look like an ordinary sore or rash, according to Dr. Mary Chang, who treated the baby.

Excellent post, again another example of dedicated research and mark-up of pertinent points by FR participants . . . "seeing beyond the burqa" you might say. And speaking of burqas, do the Freepers know the statistics of how many women in Afghanistan (or for that matter in Pakistan, or whateverstan) are killed each year just trying to cross a street in those countries? In many of them, women are not allowed to drive, so they walk around in a burqa, can't see left or right, they try to cross the street, and they drive like banjees in some of those places, and whammo, the guy has to go out and buy himself another wife.

A tiny sample is all you need. From that, you can grow it by the pound and process it with cheap equipment.

[Uncle Bill]

Yes indeed Robert. Did you know you're a prophet without receiving profit?

I leave one hell of a trail of documentation. The funny thing is in looking at the post from over a year ago is that somebody was arguing with me on the thread saying bio warfare would never be used.

[Uncle Bill]

Wait until some poor sucker comes here to argue gun control with you. 8-)

That piece is still being circulated and read. I still get emails about it. My position hasn't changed a bit.

[Uncle Bill]

It's the best that I've ever read. I keep this, and, this, and, this under my pillow, right next to my gun. No wonder I can't sleep.

Strangely, the NRA didn't use it.

From Russia, with bugs [US subsidizing Russian Biological Warfare Lab]
Note: Post #10:

The laid-back attitude of the government's biotechnology fraternity extends to the U. S. Public Health Service. Last April NBC broke the bizarre news that during the 1980s PHS's Centers for Disease Control shipped deadly viruses via Express Mail to researchers in Iraq, South Africa, Cuba, the Soviet Union and China -- all nations suspected of biological warfare research -- ostensibly for public health reasons.

The virus requested by, and supplied to, an Iraqi researcher in Basra was an Israeli strain of West Nile encephalitis. The virus had been the subject of a long-term vaccine research project in Israel supported by the U. S. Army because of its potential as a bio-warfare agent. The same virus was a cause of concern inside the Israeli defense forces medical corps due to outbreaks in Negev desert posts in the early 1980s. When NBC asked the CDC to provide documentation of these exports under the Freedom of Information Act, the center said it had no records, since such transfers are handled "informally." Remarkably, CDC staffers expressed no fear that the exported agents (all Biohazard level 3 and 4 materials -- the deadliest classification) would be used for germ warfare, "because we know these people," as CDC spokesperson Gayle Lloyd breezily put it. She called any biological war scenario "farfetched." The Israelis were not so sanguine, privately expressing shock at the transfer. And President Bush ordered national security adviser Brent Scowcroft to investigate. (Since NBC's report aired, "there have been no further biological shipments to Iraq," says Chuck Fallis of the CDC.)

Laid back. Many scientists have an infantile rebelliousness regarding national interests and non-transfer of technology.

Yeah, and that's one of the things about the future - my childrens' future - that really scares the stuffing out of me.

Boy am I glad I digested my dinner a while ago, before looking at that picture.
