I find it extremely odd that
this story never broke in the US as it dropped just before the inauguration (1.19.09). No one in the US has reported it other than one radio program I was listening to on the 19th. Since then, nothing, not a single word here. News sources in the UK offered the story but that is all I have seen.
The story means one of two things, Al-Qaeda soldiers, due to poor living conditions, contracted it naturally,
or they lost containment on a bio-weapon and the US is keeping it quiet. The latter seems a bit scary, especially when the story has not been reported here by nearly any of the media.
If anyone feels the government does not have it's fingers in the media, pulling strings, they are looking through some very rosy glasses. Party in the White House matters not here.
