TRENTON, N.J. — The frozen remains of two mice injected with the organism that causes plague have not been accounted for seven weeks after being discovered missing at a University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey facility in Newark, the university said Friday.

The FBI investigated and determined there was no risk to public health or any indication of the terrorist link.

Well...that’s good to hear./s

[Cicero]

Well, if the FBI says it’s OK, then not to worry!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Obama’s fault

[dforest]

Well whatevah....until the 1st plague cases start to show up. The world elites wish for our deaths.

End game here

[livius]

Probably got thrown out like the lizard dung. But if they didn’t...personally, I think that is how the next attack will come. I think we’ve been very efficient at cutting off other attacks, although this will obviously change under Obama. But how could the terrorists know that they’d have a friend in the White House so soon after 9/11?

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmmm ..?? Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that we learned that a whole group of terrorists died from the plague ..??

I can’t help but wonder if the person who took the dead infected mice - had some sort of sinister plan in mind .. but it backfired ..??

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

seven weeks, eh?

I think we need a photo of Saddam’s press secretary saying that everything is fine as bombs fall around him...

[ladyvet]

It wasn't the first time plague-infected mice have disappeared from the New Jersey facility. Four years ago, in September 2005, three live mice infected with bubonic plague bacteria disappeared from various cages. Officials later said they believed the rodents had died.

No kidding!

[cripplecreek]

Spoken like a useless CO2 producing feeder. LOL

[N. Theknow]

Narf!

What are we going to do tonight Brain?

Same thing we do every night Pinkie.

Screw the American public Um...try to pass the Stimulus Package

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Do not worry, the mice are no problem, they do not carry any disease.

[dforest]

Yeah, thats me.LOL

[Frantzie]

Let’s hope one goes to Camden, NJ and the other visits the usurper.

[Califreak]

Nothing to see here-move along.

[Frantzie]

Even rats with the plague do not want to live in Jersey.

"Any time you are putting something wet in the freezer, there's a chance bags can stick together, and frequently they do," he said of the disinfectant-sprayed bags.

Well I feel better! Yeah, that's the ticket...the bags stuck together.

[chemicalman]

Mice on the loose with the plague.
Really have to worry when they find the mice died from the plague, and PETA will be all over this. Along with the MSM.

[RDTF]

ah ha!

[mkjessup]

LOL, now *that’s* funny!

[MyTwoCopperCoins]

"... and frequently they do," he said of the disinfectant-sprayed bags.

He needs to be roasted to a char, in that case. He knew there was a problem, and chose to ignore it, especially in an area where the risk is simply too high.

Aluminum foil to separate the bags, could have solved the problem, and this guy's out there doing research on pathogens that can wipe out humanity?

[LostInBayport]

Thank you!! I am no longer worried about plague-infested rodents. Whew. Only Robert Gibbs could fill me with more confidence.

[Cindy]

Mice are not nice.

Thanks for the ping, RDTF.

FBI Says No Public Health Risk

What does the FBI know about communicable disease? I want to hear from the Congressional Budget Office.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

The rats wouldn’t be in the black market and auctioned to terrorists; of course not. Nothing to see here. On the other hand, one sample was Barney Frank, and the other was Nancy Pelosi. The remains of other rats were bribed into a self-imposed quarentine in DC.

[DesertRhino]

Oh lovely,,, that just makes the day complete.

[The Sons of Liberty]

If the plagued-injected mice are missing, how can the FBI determine there is no threat?

They probably took this bonehead's advice on a related subject...

Health Commissioner: Rats Are Not a Health Risk

[wolfcreek]

I heard the mice were released somewhere in DC on or before 11.04.2008.

[Diogenesis]

The two Plague-filled mice were named "Whitey" and "Bulger"
so there was no need to pursue.

[TigersEye]

I wouldn't worry about terrorists buying plague infected mice from a lab in NJ. They can trap all the plague infected rodents they want in the Sandia mountains of NM. They can find them on the plains of CO too.

But if they can isolate the virus that ate the brains of Frank, Pelosi, Reid and their comrades we really will have a problem. On the other hand they might infect themselves. What would those jihadis do if they all of a sudden experienced feeeeeelings?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

They’d abort themselves.

[Interesting Times]

Aw... look at that little guy. He's so cute! And see, he isn't afraid of us at all.

Can't we take him home with us?

[TigersEye]

They would. Can you imagine your average Al Queda head chopper suddenly feeling Peta-like empathy for chickens and fish?

"Achmed, put away the knife. Goats are people too."

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

ROFL!

[BykrBayb]

How many times did they vote?

[Right Wing Assault]

Just don’t eat them, to be safe. Tell your cat, too.

[uglybiker]

All ‘RATS’ carry the plague of Liberalism!

[appeal2]

Guess we won’t have to worry about the Fema death camps.

[autumnraine]

7 weeks...

how long ago was the Al Qaeda camp members died from the black???
