This is a classic CIA planted piece of misinformation and misdirection intended to  deflect attention from the CIA, Ft. Detrick and Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI).
 
Regardless of whether the anthrax should have been called "Ames" or Texas strain, the crucial question is who had the capability of producing aerosolized concentrations of one trillion spores per gram and who had access to it.
 
The idea of a (lone) terrorist digging up anthrax from the old cattle trails in Texas and Oklahoma and then converting first to powder form and then the aerosolized form without access to William Patrick's secret five step processes is ludicrous.
 
This article is the CIA's response to the earlier article quoting Barbara Rosenberg as saying the terrorist must be someone who knows William Patrick.

-Caveat Lector-

Investigators trace anthrax that killed 5 people to Texas

THE NEW YORK TIMES
Wednesday, January 30, 2002

Federal investigators have found in recent weeks that
the so-called Ames strain was first identified not in
Ames, Iowa, its reputed home, but a thousand miles
south, in Texas.

The strain of the bacteria was found on a dead cow
near the Mexican border in 1981 and the geographic
gaffe was the result of a clerical error by a
scientific researcher.

...the clerical error wound up taking the
investigation on several wrong turns.

The discovery of the true origin of Ames "looks like
it gets Iowa off the hook," a senior law enforcement
official said Tuesday.

He said the Ames strain now appeared to be widely
scattered in natural settings. It was found in a dead
goat on a Texas ranch in 1997.

"This one is the true Ames," a CIA analyst said of the
Texas germ.

He added that the anthrax that panicked the nation
last fall "all came from Texas."
