SPeaking of Anthrax..............what is the Bush administration doing about it? I see no resolution to any investigation and see no information at all about it's origin and vector. The weaponization of the Anthrax used in the "terror attacks" was chemically linked to a process used by our gov't in Ames Iowa. The bacterial spore size is critical to the weaponization and has to be within a specific range. Various processes are used to achieve that size so the bacteria could be traced back by the process. Also, there are various serotypes of the bacteria that are also biochemciallly recognizable and different from each other which can be traced back to the source of the identification city or institute. I do not know that the Bush administration is doing anything aggressive about the anthrax. No progress has been reported to my knowledge and hasn't been published recently. The former empoyee that was suspected seems to have faded into the sunset. I would commence an intensive investigation into the records of the research lab that the strain originated from. I would also target for investigation every right wing organization in this country who had any links to individuals working in and around the Defense Dept labs. It was only democrats and media that were targeted by the anthrax terrorist so that is why my investigation would start in the right wing groups. Most people think that the lone woman who died was caught in the fray by accident................it is thought that she was not targeted but an indirect victim. I would target everyone who had come into contact with her or her property for the last several weeks. I would also publish periodic progress reports to the public on the investigation.
