“The silica was powdered so finely that under Geisbert’s electron microscope it had looked like fried-egg gunk dripping off the spores.” Geisbert calls his boss, Peter Jahrling on a secure STU phone and says: “Pete ! There’s glass in the anthrax.”

As usual, you just pick things you can twist to support your beliefs. Geisbert dipped the spores in chemicals to kill them. Then he put them under a Transmission Electron Microscope. And when he turned the power up, he saw some mysterious "goop" ooze out of the spores. He didn't realize that the "goop" was the chemicals he just used to kill the spores, and heating the chemicals with an intense electron beam caused them to expand and ooze out of the spores.

This is all described in detail in Chapter 15 of my book.

When Geisbert killed the spores with radiation, he didn't get that effect. Why would that be? All he saw was "pure spores."

If an anthrax spore was an orange,then these particles of glass would be grains of sand clinging to the orange.

That statement is not from Geisbert. It is from the author of "The Demon In The Freezer," and his interpretation of what Geisbert believed at that point in time. BTW, that author, Richard Preston, highly recommends my book.

Not true - go back and read the book. He saw the fried egg gunk on these spores also.

Maybe you should put your energies into finding out why Beecher failed to provide his data - after all, it was quite a simple request. Publish SEM and EDX data of the attack spores demonstrating the complete absence of additives. He claimed there are no addtives - and, as Carl Sagan said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
