"Officials said they "could not rule out anything," but stressed that they do not believe the deaths were caused by a biological attack. Out of 100 possible explanations, one state doctor said, bioterrorism would be the 101st reason he would examine."

With the current state of the health care system - being extremely liberal - and mostly refusing to even take their smallpox vax - I'd say that this statement shows just how far into denial that they are. Like West Nile Virus "just happened" to get to the US. Yeah, right.

If this doctor keeps bioterrorism out of the realm of possibility, I sure hope somebody else is in charge.

The miracle is that West Nile didn't get here 20 years ago. Insect born diseases travel really well, only takes one infected misquito to hitch a ride on an airplane and bite a bird on the other side and WALLA West Nile has spread to another country.
