I really think no amount of talking will change your mind, thankfully most Americans do not pass everything off as coincidence since 9-11, the Terrorists just love folks who, unless thousands of people die in one fell swoop, pass death from other then natural causes, off to coincidence. But just for the sake of argument lets do a fact listing here.
(1) persons over 50 years of age have the highest risk of severe disease version of WNV
(2) An estimated (using census figures) 56 million people in the US are over 55 years old. This doesn't even include the number between 50-55.
The above two statements were in response to your "Benign" statement, you might want to check your facts before making such a statement.
Now tell me again who would want to put an estimated 56 million people in the USA at risk of unnatural death? Especially with people who pass the WNV off as just something that happened to occur out of the blue. I do not run around cowering in fear at everything that happens, however I do pay attention to details. You might want to check the CDC's website for info on the WNV. Mighty strange that almost 800 people have contracted the disease and 40 have died.
And lets not forget where WNV originated from West Nile virus has been commonly found in humans and birds and other vertebrates in Africa, Eastern Europe, West Asia, and the Middle East, but until 1999 had not previously been documented in the Western Hemisphere.
SO for thousands of years, 60 of which planes and other high speed methods of transportation have existed, we never had WNV, now all of a sudden we do? For you or anyone else to say that WNV could not possibly have been introduced into the US population deliberately, given the facts I have outlined, and many more, if you do a bit more searching, in just plain lunacy. Or maybe in some way you really do believe Human beings are not capable of doing such a thing. Denial will get us all killed, but then again that is also what caused 9-11.
