"$1b effort yields no bioterror defenses; Mass. labs in line to join scaled-back Pentagon program" by Bryan Bender, Globe Staff / January 17, 2011
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is scaling back one of its largest efforts to develop treatments for troops and civilians infected in a germ warfare attack after a $1 billion, five-year program fell short of its primary goal.

Instead, the Pentagon’s next $1 billion for the Transformational Medical Technologies program will focus on better ways to identify mutant versions of Ebola, Marburg, and other deadly viruses. Those are among the genetically modified agents that officials fear could be used by terrorists or rogue states against urban or military targets.

Yeah, it turns out that Muslims didn't do 9/11; Israel did.
Crystal Franco, a specialist at the Center for Biosecurity at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center who specializes in biological defense policy, said the project's hurdles also highlight the need for ongoing taxpayer-investment commitments from government....
