Selling to the terrorists?
Oh, this is classic:
The Pentagon could inadvertently be providing terrorists with special equipment that would enable them to make biological weapons, according to a draft report from the General Accounting Office obtained by ABCNEWS.
According to the report, which is due to be released Tuesday, Congress ordered the GAO — its investigative arm — to set up a phony company to see how easy it would be to buy surplus lab equipment from the Pentagon.
Using fake names, GAO investigators went to a Web site that sells Pentagon surplus and ordered items needed to produce bacteriological weapons, including evaporators, centrifuges, bacteriological incubators amd protective clothing.
In its report, the GAO found that the "Department of Defense has not attempted to determine who is buying excess biological equipment or how these items were being used."
