The
CIA
provided
misleading
intelligence
on Iraq
before
the U.S.
invasion,
according
to a
report
from the
Senate
Intelligence
Committee.
They say
the
outgoing
head of
that
agency
of
didn't
want to
listen
to any

Anthrax
Anthrax
is an
acute
infectious
disease
caused
by
spore-forming
bacterium.
For
centuries,
anthrax
has
caused
disease
in
animals
and,
uncommonly,
serious
illness
in
humans
throughout
the
world.
Research
on
anthrax
as a
biological
weapon
began
more
than 80
years
ago.
Today,
at least
17
nations
are
believed
to have
offensive
biological
weapons
programs;
it is
uncertain
how many
are
working
with
anthrax.
Iraq has
acknowledged
producing
and
weaponizing
anthrax.
Most
experts
concur
that the
manufacture
of a
lethal
anthrax
aerosol
is
beyond
the
capacity
of
individuals
or
groups
without
access
to
advanced
biotechnology.
However,
autonomous
groups
with
substantial
funding
and
contacts
may be
able to
acquire
the
required
materials
for a
successful
attack.
Anthrax
is most
common
in South
and
Central
America,
Southern
and
Eastern
Europe,
Asia,
Africa,
the
Caribbean,
and the
Middle
East.
When
anthrax
affects
humans,
it is
usually
due to
an
occupational
exposure
to
infected
animals
or their
products.
Anthrax
in wild
livestock
has
occurred
in the
United
States.
