I watched an interesting program on the BBC last week documenting the
'anthrax attacks' last autumn. It interviewed several of the leading
FBI Investigators on the case.

Basically the spores used could have only come from one of 2 US
Military Research facilities (one being USARMID itself). They
interviewed the linguistics expert (who caught the UNA Bomber - and
is used several times by the FBI) who said he had requested "known
writing" of 3 people working at USARMID (to discount them from the
investigation - still waiting months later!!!).

They even interviewed a member of the Senate Oversight Committee
dealing with USARMID who felt she was sure it was a "well meaning" US
Researcher "attempting to give the US a 'wake up call'"!!!

Seems to have worked - USARMID budget trebled this year to $6bn -
madness!!!

Wondered whether this was "common knowledge" in the US?
