"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

More Smallpox Evidence: This week's BusinessWeek has a commentary on smallpox vaccine that gives further evidence that Iraq likely has the virus as a weapon. North Korea may have it, too. (I would link to it, but you need a subscription to access it, so I'll just quote it):
"The risk of a terrorist attack can't be quantified. But homeland security experts note ominously that both Iraq and North Korea vaccinate at least some of their military, suggesting that they may have stockpiles of smallpox. And Russians once produced tons of highly weaponized forms of the virus, some of which may now be in terrorists' hands." posted by Sydney on
