Default Experts fault U.S. preparation for anthrax attack

Quote:
"I think we're very poorly prepared," James Woolsey, who headed the CIA from 1993 to 1995, said at a news conference to unveil a report by a security consulting firm warning of U.S. vulnerability to another anthrax attack.
So, a former gummint employee who now makes money off of anthrax scares, says we should be scared of anthrax. Booga!



Quote:
In the weeks after the September 11, 2001, attacks, five people died and 17 others were sickened when anthrax spores were mailed in letters to media and government offices in New York, Washington and Florida. Those cases have not been solved.
Really? I thought Hatfill did it.
So they still haven't figured that out?


Quote:
Veronica Nur Valdes, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said the department was "very engaged" in efforts to strength preparedness for any anthrax attack.

"I think it's important to note that there's no credible information at this time telling us of an imminent threat to the homeland, to include an attack involving anthrax," Valdes said. "But we're mindful as we build up our defenses and readiness that the bad guys will look for new ways to strike."

Well that makes me feel better. The gummint says they are keeping an eye on the bad guys.

Question: If they haven't figured out who did the first attack, who are they talking about when they say the bad guys ?

You should start a security consulting firm.

I can sell rocks and say:

Anyone with these rocks is guaranteed safe from anthrax attacks.
