TWENTY YEARS AFTER AN ANTHRAX ATTACK ON MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, A NEW REPORT SAYS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STILL DOESN’T HAVE AN EFFECTIVE BIO DETECTION SYSTEM.
FORMER SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOR TOM DASCHLE WAS SERVING WHEN THAT ATTACK OCCURRED.
HE SAYS A SIMILAR ATTACK COULD HAPPEN NOW:
DASCHLE1 OC………HEALTHY TODAY. :22
DASCHLE SAYS HE SPONSORED A BILL SETTING UP A BIOWATCH PROGRAM WHEN HE WAS IN THE SENATE:
DASCHLE2 OC…….AS WELL :27
DASCHLE SAYS MANY AREAS ARE VULNERABLE TO A POTENTIAL ATTACK TODAY:
DASCHLE3 OC……..NOT PREPARED. :25
DASCHLE SAYS CONGRESS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND LEAD ON ENHANCING DETECTION AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST BIO WEAPONS.
