Maybe this will send some interest our way. Smallpox Drill Held at White House Complex WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cabinet secretaries participated in a drill Saturday that simulated a smallpox attack as the government tested plans to counter the potential use of bioweapons by terrorists. ''The purpose of this exercise, which was only a drill, was to address the federal government's response to a potential smallpox attack,'' said Dana Perino, a White House spokeswoman. ''While there's concern, we do not have any concern that a smallpox attack is imminent.'' The World Health Organization reported the disease was eradicated in 1980. Still, there are fears that smallpox could be used by terrorists as a biological weapon. From NYT Saturday.
