Thank you for sharing your views!

Do you have any sources we can explore further for the part about the U.S. bioweapons program not being defunct - i.e. as it would concern manufacturing an offensive weapon and not a defensive measure or for testing a defensive measure.

From your response it is obvius you have seen the numerous articles admitting the U.S. has continued production of "weaponized" anthrax and other biowar agents. Of course the claim is that this is only for purposes of testing defensive measures (as permitted by the treaty).

The only difference between offensive and defensive production is the quantity.

Some government "experts" have said it would take eight to ten thousand spores of inhaled anthrax to fatally infect a person. However, one expert at Ft. Detrick said it could take as few as 100 to 200 spores.

Even at 10,000 spores, the envelope addressed to Sen. Leahy had enough anthrax to kill 250 million people with optimum delivery capability. The envelope contained 2.5 grams at one trillion spores per gram.

Since the quantity produced by the U.S. program is a closly held secret, we don't know how much has been produced, and they are not about to tell us.

Maybe someone should ask Gov. Ridge. He seems to be a fount of information (sarcasm).
