A good link, with interesting reading....
Does anyone remember the report we found about Japan in WW2, putting out clay bombs with fleas in them, the plan to drop them on us and spread disease?
I only read the last few posts, but I didn't see this article (someone may have posted it earlier):
Note especially, that it took CDC a week to identify it -- just imagine how many people will get infected during that time, if we get deliberately attacked with something really nasty.

US finds fever bacteria during war protest weekend

Small amounts of a bacteria that causes "rabbit fever" were found on Washington's National Mall last weekend as thousands of protesters marched against the Iraq War, U.S. health authorities said on Saturday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said several government environmental air monitors in the Mall area detected low levels of Francisella tularensis bacteria that cause Tularemia, commonly known as rabbit fever, on September 24-25.
The CDC waited a week to notify city officials of the detected bacteria because it took that long to test the samples at labs and confirm its presence, the radio station reported.
