This company is the SOLE producer of the anthrax vaccine for our troops. Correction. This company is the SOLE producer of the largely untested and unreliable anthrax vaccine that has helped in sending many in uniform to the hospital or the brig.

Thanks for this terrific work (oooh, bad pun) BDD, OKCS, backhoe, thinden, Energizer, and all. You're the best! I connect this with JimRob's thread on whether FR should continue to exist, and my answer is, It has to. Where else will intelligence services get so many leads and so much good research just handed to them?

Fred, thanks for the ping.
Energizer: Bioport gave the documents to whom?
("Both articles fail to point out that a few years ago, former employees of Bioport STOLE and gave important, original documents that included the fermentation recipe for anthrax, i.e., how to make large quantities of bugs.")

Bingo! Please bump me when it comes to articles like this. I have been after BioPotty for 2 years! Ms. Brennan-Root lies and is a sneak too! Good work!

Both articles fail to point out that a few years ago, former employees of Bioport STOLE and gave important, original documents that included the fermentation recipe for anthrax, i.e., how to make large quantities of bugs. I'm not familiar with this and would certainly like to know more.
Could this possibly be a reference to the three scientists the lab brought on in 1990 to help gear up for orders from the Pentagon? They changed the formula (recipe) for the vaccine and until sometime last year or this year, were the only ones at Bioport who knew the recipe.
When Bioport had to disclose the list of ingredients to the FDA, they couldn't because the three scientists refused to divulge the information unless Bioport would give them a royalty agreement.
I understand that was settled late last year or this year, but I don't know the terms.
As to who could have obtained the "Ames" strain of the anthrax bacteria, the answer is who knows?
The army's bioweapon lab at Ft. Detrick, Maryland admits to giving it to the Michigan lab, several universities in the U.S. and its British counterpart at Porton Down (which was later taken over by Fuad El Hibri).
Ft. Detrick also provided Iraq with seven different strains of anthrax, they say that can't be sure one of them wasn't the Ames strain. This, they say, because records didn't always identify it as "Ames" and sometimes used other descriptions.
Also, in 1998, Iraq was said to have requested the Ames strain from Porton Down (Fuad el Hibri) which request was supposedly refused. This despite the fact that it was furnished (by el Hibri) to Saudi Arabia after they had been turned down by the Pentagon. It has not been disclosed who in Saudi Arabia received the anthrax. Some suspect it could have been a bin Laden connection. El Hibri certainly had a lot of contacts in Saudi Arabia as earlier he was manager of operations and credit for Citibank's operations in that country.
Any entity working on developing an anthrax vaccine must also possess the anthrax bacterium. The Ames strain is the prefered strain because it is one of the most virulent and a vaccine developed from it would provide maximum protection. Of course it would also make the most virulent weapon.

I don't remember the details of this, but your account does "ring a bell."

Of even more interest is the Pakistani-born naturalized US citizen named Pervez who is associated with the two men who were nabbed on the Amtrak train in Texas who had gotten off a 9/11 flight in St. Louis. All three are still being held. All three worked at newstands in NY, Pervez used a bank at the WTC and all lived in the same apartment in NJ where the WSJ found articles on bioterrorism. (Of course, the did work at a newsstand.)

They also attended the same mosque as the WTC 1 bomb plotter Yousef and Atta and Shehhi had been spotted in the neighborhood in which they lived, and there were reports of how the otherwise quiet men had a large number of visditors over the summer before 9/11.
