Is there any difference between this and the New York Times revealing things??

Reminds me of the stories of the 'not-so secret' bunker where the 'shadow government' was sent after the 9-11 attacks.
I still chuckle when I recall Tommy Daschle whining that he 'didn't know nothing about no secret bunker and shadow government' -- until someone whispered in his ear, 'you are standing in it.'
MSM even published some pix of the general bunker area.

Just a small issue with your post- Homeland Security had not yet been created during the Anthrax Attacks. It was another year before the department was formed.
Personally I still think it was domestic terrorism. The use of the mail system was a sloppy disbursement method. Any intelligence office worth his/her salt would have known that the letters would never have reached the Senators and Anchorpersons desks. As was later proved, in a horrifyingly inept move by US Capitol police and others, simply releasing the spores into an elevator would have effectively contaminated the entire building and created more widespread panic, even death.

-The government is building a highly classified facility to research biological weapons, but its closed-door approach has raised concerns.-
"Highly classified"?? Apparently not high enough. And, the whole point of "high classification" is to GET a closed door in there...somewhere...if possible...oh, never mind. Let's just broadcast all our secrets on TV and get it over with. Not that you can really hide a building in progress, but I'm going to guess the Compost got their hands on a detailed blueprint and will pass it along to our enemies any day now.

Although the research may seem questionable to the WashCompost, I don't really think this is new news. They always announced that the guy that was the anthrax suspect worked at Ft Dietrich, and how they have a similar facilty there already working with anthrax, etc.

This lab is less than 15 miles from where I live, and I really don't appreciate
the Washington Post exposing this critical operation to help keep us safe.
The Wall Street Journal also needs a spanking on this issue, IMHO.
About six months ago, they had an article on some new US government buildings,
of course covered in terms of construction bidness.
There, on a front page (maybe of a section, not the very front page) was
a sizeable photo of a new CDC building for researching all sorts of nasties.
I was shocked at it's nice, open-air design...tall with lots of windows.
I could only shudder to think what could be accomplished by
even a small team of evildoers.
I remember praying "I hope that building is just a decoy, no matter
how expensive it is.".

the Bush administration is building a massive biodefense laboratory
They reveal themselves in the language. The 'Bush Administration' is not building a massive biodefense lab... The United States is. They feel better pretending to just betray 'Bush', not the country.

I thought there already was a lab such as this on an island off the New England coast somewhere.

Reply: Excellent graphic and seemingly accurate. Damn scary also.
Anyone sitting on the fence about Muslim terrorism NEEDS to view this film!
