Partial snippets from yesterday's article: "Pentagon seeks more funds to counter bio weapons"
"The Pentagon wants to spend more money on a secret program to track weapons of mass destruction because of new information showing an increased need to locate chemical and biological weapons, military budget plans show.
The increased funding for the Nimble Elder program of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is "driven by recent classified DoD guidance," according to DTRA's budget plans, which were released in March."
...."DTRA is the primary military agency tracking weapons of mass destruction. In February, it announced a call for "researchers who can find small organic molecule inhibitors that can either slow or kill the growing number of drug-resistant bacteria, including the 11 pathogens on the government's Tier 1 list" of most dangerous pathogens.
