CDC: A&M researcher infected by bioweapon

[Horse with no Name]

What I find exceptional is that one year ago, Robert Gates was sitting in the seat that should have reported this. So, bioterrorism at A&M--->and instead of reporting the incident as he was supposed to do, he is promoted to Secretary of Defense.
A lot of inferences could be drawn here....

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - A federal agency is investigating whether Texas A&M University failed to report that a researcher was infected with a bioweapon agent being studied on campus.

The unidentified researcher was diagnosed last April with brucella, an infectious disease normally passed between animals.

The watchdog group Sunshine Project found that Texas A&M waited nearly a year to report the infection to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Federal law requires a report within seven days.

CDC officials confirmed their investigation, but said there is no current health threat.

1. Gates can keep secrets...even deadly ones

especially deadly ones

He's nothing to cheer

2. Suddenly I am reminded of Stephen King's book "The Stand"

:scared:

4. Unfortunately the outrage at not having it reported

surpasses the outrage that we are testing biochemicals. How many people did this researcher expose? How many people died without being tested for brucella?:mad:

6. I would put nothing past these people

They would use bioweapons in a heartbeat. They have no humanity and they don't play by the rules. They're already using banned weapons in Iraq so this seems like par for the course. They report nothing they do, break the laws they don't like, and when the truth eventually comes out they say "eff you if you don't like it."

5. Captain Tripps ...

Oh my. We had the same thought. :hide:

3. How many Aggies does it take to test a bioweapon?

One, but it takes 4 Longhorns to hold him down and another to do the injection!
