Former British servicemen who were guinea pigs in chemical weapons'
trials during the Cold War won 3 million pounds in compensation and an
apology from the government (2006). The 360 surviving
ex-military personnel were subjected to tests at the Porton Down
(search Porton Down anthrax) chemical warfare facility. The Ministry
of Defence said they will get about 8,000 pounds each. In a
parliamentary statement, defence minister Derek Twigg said it was a

Houston-based Tanox Biosystems, sued by Gulf War Syndrome sufferers
for shipping deadly biological agents to Iraq before Desert Storm.
Tanox has also been accused of infecting death row inmates at the

merger with Hoetsch, Rhone-Poulenc is now known as Aventis). DeBatto's
discovery that the Carlyle shipment of the chem-bio weapons was made
through Spanish and French intermediaries is bolstered by the fact
that two firms identified by Gulf War plaintiffs, one Spanish -- Cades

revealed and confirms suspicions that the bacteria originally came
from a US military laboratory. The data released uses codenames
for the reference strains against which the attack strain was
compared. The two reference strains that appear identical to the
attack strain most likely originated at the US Army Medical Research
Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick (USAMRIID),
Maryland. The new work also shows that substantial genetic differences
can emerge in two samples of an anthrax culture separated for only
three years. This means the attacker's anthrax was not separated from
its ancestors at USAMRIID for many generations.'

First,
the strain and properties of the weaponized anthrax found in the
letters show that it originated within the U.S. biodefense program, where the necessary expertise and access are found. Government
officials recognized that the anthrax source was domestic less than
two weeks after they learned of the letters, and nothing in their

would rely heavily on Iraqi defectors. Some of the most valuable

unconventional agents. . . . [Officials described] it as filled with
broken parts and remnants of equipment consistent with a full-scale

weapons programs while claiming to have dismantled them, Judith

on April 27, her account featured Nissar Hindawi, "a leading
figure in Iraq's biological warfare program in the 1980s," who
claimed Iraq had "'produced huge quantities'" of liquid
anthrax and botulinum toxin. This informant had left the program in

Miller would once
more make the headlines as the apparent recipient of an anthrax
mailing which turned out to be a false alarm - yet was all the same
conveniently timed with the well-publicized launching of her book
on...germ warfare. As was later discovered, the anthrax mailings
petered out once the news leaked that a DNA test revealed the material
to be of the Ames strain of anthrax, an agent synthesized out of a CIA
laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland.
Nevertheless, this was sufficient to fast-track
Bioport's exclusive license for the anthrax vaccine toward FDA

against the Justice Department and the FBI for damaging his

government to settle his legal claim that the Justice Department and
the FBI ruined his career and invaded his privacy. Hatfill was the
main focus of the anthrax investigation for several years, but was
never arrested or charged. A federal judge presiding over his lawsuit
recently said there “is not a scintilla of evidence” linking him
to the attacks. The government does not formally admit any wrongdoing
as part of the settlement, but the payout is widely viewed as an
exoneration for Hatfill. For instance, the Los Angeles Times calls
Hatfill “all but exonerated.” No witnesses or physical evidence
were ever produced to link Hatfill to the attacks. Rep. Rush Holt (D)
