Does this mean we need to look out for some plague ridden animal
liberation types? Break out the flea bombs this means war!

To the tune of "Three blind mice... see how they run...."
"About" two weeks ago, authorities now admit, in a forced-disclosure
following inside "leaks", three mice infected with the **Bubonic
Plague** a.k.a. the "black death" which devastated Europe during the
middle ages, went missing from a New Jersey "bioterrorism" lab.
...don't you just love the "went missing" euphemism?
The so-called "Public Health Research Institute," which is on the
campus of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey say
their "lost charges are probably dead by now." The PHRI is a prime
example of the rapidly accelerated militarization of America's
campuses - following the Cheney-Bush's 'War on Terrorism' initiative,
which ate up much of the funding for such projects as Corps of
Engineering Levee strengthening (which had been approved earlier but
was put on indefinite hold). The lab was set up, rather quietly and
furtively, but through the University, solely to do controversial
bioterrorism research for the federal government, while not alarming
future health-care professionals.
Errr...let's see..."the lost charges are probably dead by now"...
riiiight...
But does their demise have anything to do with fluffy the cat being a
little under the weather these days... and is the "black death" now
latent in Joisy?
Inquiring minds want to know.... or as the Brits say, "shouldn't we be
told?" And not "about" two weeks later, one might add.
But the PHRI adds that the possibility the mice were stolen, even by
"activists" has not been ruled out. Riiiight, we have to do a
little blame-shifting here. Why didn't they just blame it on Arabs?
The FBI conducted more than two dozen interviews with employees of
the lab, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention too has
sent investigators to the campus. The University is not commenting at
this time on the investigation and wishes it would all go away. PETA
is probably on-the-way, as we speak, according to spokesperson Kate
Moss, "and I would go too if it weren't for this awful sinus...."
Wonder if that old shot (i.e. injection - ouch I can still feel it) -
which they gave me for plague - back in boot-camp back in the sixties
at Ft Leonard Wood (aka Little-Korea), is still good ?
