Dangerous animal virus on US mainland?

They can't possible be this stupid. Can they?

AP - The Bush administration is likely to move its research on one of the most contagious animal diseases from an isolated island laboratory to the U.S. mainland near herds of livestock, raising concerns about a catastrophic outbreak.

Er, I've noticed that with this administration that anything in possible. I got a laugh out of the Kansas rep's reasoning for putting the lab in his state. "It will create jobs." Uh huh, or totally destroy your farming economy if it gets out. Are people really so desperate for jobs in this country that we are resorting to establishing high-risk labs in areas where they could potentially do the most harm?

One of the proposed sites is Butner, NC. Great. The idiocy from this administration is astounding.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
