OT: Funding for Ebola

Why do you care? It isn't your business. Just tell the truth, guys. It won't kill you.

No sign of that, unlike the CDC, who cooked the USPS anthrax samples into hockey pucks before SEMing them, and therefore concluded that they weren't weaponized.

The CDC is about as reliable as the Keystone Kops.

What are you talking about? Anthrax that was mailed to Congress in 2001 was traced back to Ft. Detrick USAMRIID.

Are saying that the CDC is more "professional" in their dealing with such things? You haven't been paying attention (duh!).

You can have a rogue in any organization. Some are bad, like the anthrax guy, but some are pretty good, like Snowden. That has zilch to do with whether the organization as a whole is competent. USAMRIID is, CDC emphatically is not.
