by scary
"U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell holds up a vial that he said could contain anthrax as he presents evidence of Iraq's alleged weapons programs to the United Nations Security Council Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2003."

I'm guessing its a bluff and is a fabrication like his other exhibits but if that really is anthrax isnt that really really dangerous to be bringing weaponized anthrax into a meeting with so many world leaders?

Maybe he found that while attending one of Hussein's famous parties.
by US in Violation of UN Resolution 1441
"In Baghdad, Iraqi presidential adviser Lt. Gen. Amir Al Saadi also said the United States had violated UN Resolution 1441 by failing to provide evidence to UN inspectors. Al Saadi said the allegations leveled by Powell were for the "general public and mainly the uniformed" so as to influence public opinion and "commit aggression on Iraq.""

... the vial contained some of cheney's crack cocaine, which cheney had left in the pocket of his pants as he put them in the washer. so, there's really nothing to be too worried about...
by us military strain?
maybe its the same strain that mysteriously appeared in the democratic congressional office wing, right before congress was to vote on whether to give bush and the CIA power as fascist dictators of the world.

Exactly why we need this:
Patent Pending Bio-safe safe mailbox.. In view of foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known procedures to handle and eradicate infectious agents,the present invention provides a method and apparatus to eliminate biological agents before the mail comes in contact with the postal facility worker and/or mail recipient. To attain this,the present invention comprises a bio-safe device that delivers a timed application of a decontaminant in an enclosed structure,or mailbox,to destroy biological agents on contaminated mail. In the first embodiment of the invention,the bio-safe device is configured to be readily installed in the common residential mailbox. In a second embodiment of the invention, the bio-safe device is installed in the U.S. Post Office mailbox. In a third embodiment of the invention,the bio-safe device is installed in the mail sorting center. The bio-safe device is entirely managed by the owner. The bio-safe device is chemically charged and functionally checked on a periodic basis for operability. The bio-safe device is configured to discharge the decontaminant on a daily basis for a set duration of time to effectively eliminate the biological agent after each [daily] mail delivery. Consequently,the recipient and mail carrier is made aware of the eradication process through indication of the bio-safe activity status clearly indicated on the mailbox to facilitate safe and complete operation. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways.Also,it is to be understood the phraseology and terminology herin are for the purpose of the description and should not be regarded as limiting. A primary object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus to protect the general public against exposure to infectious agents on contaminated mail. An object is to provide the method and apparatus for the individual mail recipient to destroy infectious agents before physical contact with the mail. Another object is to provide a method and apparatus for the postal carrier or individual mail recipient to destroy infectious agents without destroying the mail. Another object is to provide a method and apparatus for the postal carrier or individual mail recipient to inexpensively self manage the destruction of infectious agents.

THE CHUTZPAH OF COLIN POWELL
At a crucial presentation at the UN, Colin Powell produced a phial of look-a-like anthrax and described the harm done by an equivalent amount in the anthrax attacks in the USA immediately following 911 - in the context of debate on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.
But the anthrax attacks in the US were demonstrably the work of well placed insiders: the anthrax came from Fort Detrick; the #1 suspect remains the ex commandant aided by his colleagues still at the facility; and there was an unsuccessful attempt to set up an Egyptian born scientist as a patsy; all as an initially diligent investigation by the FBI exposed. This is not conspiracy conjecture – it has been well documented even on a TV documentary.
No wonder the Americans can be described as showmen.
The worry is, if they can still draw the inference of Iraq being a possible source of such attacks in the light of the above facts, what is the quality of their other evidence – and what is their true motivation?
