You are distorting things again.

General Parker said they found silica, but he ALSO said:
we don't know that they're additives, we don't know what they are, and we're continuing to do research to find out what they possible could be. They're unknowns to us at this present time.
It is a distortion of the FACTS to say that Parker said there was silica in the anthrax without also mentioning that he didn't know that it was an additive, he didn't know exactly what it was or why it was there.
You distort the facts by using only words that make him seem certain, while the context shows he is totally UNCERTAIN about what they'd found.
AFIP stated in very plain English that the silica Parker announced the presence of was a key aerosol enabling component of the Daschle anthrax.

The AFIP lab deputy director, Florabel Mullick, said “This [silica] was a key component. Silica prevents the anthrax from aggregating, making it easier to aerosolize.
