The lab originally provided vaccines for veterinary and industrial workers exposed to anthrax. The run-up to Gulf War I created manifold demand for anthrax (and other biotoxin) vaccines. The university “sold off” their production facilities to a consortium of MIC interests. IIRC Carlisle interests/associates were involved. The story I recall, this privatized production obtained the anthrax from Dugway and proceeded to churn out dodgy vaccines which were sold at huge markup to the pentagon. I gathered that the facilities at the Fort pertaining to chemical/biological agents was more a research, and development facility to counter such substances. They would also be used to identify these substances, not produce them which was given to other facilities, e.g. Dugway. This article outlines that story.</p> <p><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article835434.ece?token=null&offset=24&page=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.timesonline.co.uk/t.....038;page=3</a></p> Late again: Here is a link to the story about how the Iowa university lab became to be privatized as a consequence of Pentagon needs.

Take the anthrax matter. It’d be interesting if everyone with information put it on the site with every one editing it with links etc. It might help us to see the big picture rather than a bunch of little ones spread through comments. Unfortunately I have no technical ability. I have no idea how it might be done.</p> What we should try, I think, is a Wikipedia type of entry for various subjects. Take the anthrax matter.
