WTF?...Pentagon finds third batch of active anthrax

[spanone]

The 'scale and scope' of the problem remains unknown, a Pentagon spokesman said...

A third “master batch” of anthrax has been discovered at a U.S. military lab in Utah, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday.

The batch was found as part of an investigation launched after it was revealed last week that the Defense Department had unwittingly shipped live anthrax spores, which were supposed to have been dead or inactive, to multiple laboratories across the country and internationally.

The Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah has shipped the suspect anthrax to a total of 12 states and three countries, including Canada, South Korea and Australia, Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said.

So far only one anthrax sample, cultured at a laboratory in Maryland, has produced active anthrax spores, according to the Pentagon.

1. OK OK, you win, let the NSA spy on me, just don't let the anthrax get me!!1!

Funny how this appears again just about the same time as re-authorization of NSA snooping and extension of the patriot act is being discussed after a 13+ year absence.

If I didn't know there was a Democrat in the WH I'd think they were trying to scare the hell out of us again. It worked so well the last time, it was probably worth a shot.
