CIA Bioweapons Threat Report

["Tim Gwinn" <***>]

To all,

 

There is a very short but very disturbing report on bioweapons from a meeting convened by the CIA. Here is a quote from an AP new article

(http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031114/ap_on_go_ot/cia_bioweapons_1):

The life sciences experts, convened by the agency's Office of Transnational Issues, raised fears of genetically engineered diseases that "could be worse than any disease known to man," according to the CIA's unclassified report on their conference.

The report is a 2-page PDF and can be downloaded from:

Note the call for a "qualitatively different relationship between the government and life sciences communities".

 

Regards,

Tim
