I really am wondering why this article has not been either confirmed or denied. Has anyone forwarded it to any other news sources to be checked? Why isn't it being repeated elsewhere? Someone go fly out there and check this out!

While wondering about the Pakistani news, don't forget the "smallpox" "outbreak" in India:

"Three die from Smallpox fury in Barachatti Village

Barachatti 4 June, (Dainik Jagran). In Patiauna village of Vinda Council in Barachatti block a dreadful outbreak of smallpox is raging. Due to the smallpox so far three children have died and about a dozen children are in its grip. So far in order to treat and cure the smallpox so far no steps have been taken by the medical department due to which the villagers are angry.

Gaya District Equality [Party] chairman Indradev Pasvan has asked the DM to not delay in distributing appropriate medications to the effected children and asked for suitable measures to be taken for protection from this sickness, so that the remaining children may be saved. Mr Paswan said that if this sickness was not quickly brought under control then it might turn into an epidemic."

You have hit right upon what many are seeing as the most outrageous point in this whole situation. This IS being fowarded anywhere people can think to send it. I suspect that as this story is passed around and heard by more people, there will be additional questions.

The fact remains however, that despite this, there has yet to be ANY official release from any of TPTB--anywhere.
