"Anti-Americanism"...what is this critter?

How long does anthrax survive as a bacteria?

many many years. I island in Scotland was infected with anthrax and was out of bounds for years. I can't remember the details.

As in all such damning 'exposes' of this type, an author can make big bucks by feeding those who want to believe what they write. Blum's theories have not been supported by the most liberal and anti-Reagan/Bush of the mainstream media, however.

It is no secret that the U.S. did help arm Iraq as a hedge against a fanatical and increasingly militant and dangerous Iran. Iran and Iraq were at war at the time and Iraq was considered the less dangerous of the two. In hindsight, that was probably a really dumb thing to do.

But without the 'facts' listed in Blatham's post being substantiated by another more objective and credible source, I have to suspect most or all of the damning 'evidence' listed has been skewed to fit Blum's very dark and contentious view of Americans and the United States.
