"Adjacent to the pool tables, the shuffleboard and the bar stands a gleaming stainless steel cylinder, the 50-liter (53-quart) fermenter in which germs can be cultivated.
"The apparatus, which includes a latticework of pipes and other equipment, was made entirely with commercially available components bought from hardware stores and other suppliers for about $1 million -- a pittance for a weapon that could deliver death on such a large scale.
"The factory was built by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, an arm of the Pentagon that works to contain the spread of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Officials said the project was intended to assess how hard it would be for a terrorist or rogue nation to assemble a germ factory."
The second stated objective was to see if such a "homemade" lab would have an identifiable signature. The founder and first director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is Jay C. Davis. Among other things Davis is a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member, 30-year associate at the secret Lawrence Livermore weapons lab and a consultant to the CIA.
Davis made the astounding admission that the Pentagon had never revealed the existence of Project BACHUS to anyone at the Clinton White House nor to congressional intelligence committees. The program was started in 1997 under Defense Secretary William Cohen (CFR).
