Plum Island recruits scientist from Rep.of Georgia

This is a truly troubling and it’s relevance is only amplified by the recent Ivins Athrax disclosures and the capture of Aafia Siddique. This commencement of research certainly puts the recent intervention by the Bush Administration into the Russia-Rep. of Georgia conflict into persepective. Have we not learned anything from our past?

Anthrax Suspect Was Involuntarily Committed

Specifically, a month before his death according to documents obtained by the Smoking Gun. This story is going to be on Lifetime no doubt. Also a therapist  Jean Carol Duley from the Psychiatric Hospital where Ivins was committed filed a protective order against Ivins.
From a taped excerpt found here.
