Using anthrax as a weapon required just too much specialized knowledge for the low-tech terror groups we were used to dealing with it was simpler to imagine that the powder came from someone with access to a bioweapons stock and knowledge of how to handle it. Now with the recent suicide of a microbiologist who worked at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick Maryland and the partial release of evidence from the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI that indicates he was probably the person responsible our worst fears have been realized. Pogo Walt Kelly s philosophical cartoon possum was right We have met the enemy and he is us. In the past few days new details of how this case was finally solved after almost seven years have come to light and what they reveal is the critical role of genomics in identifying the source of the anthrax.
