Abstract:
On September 4, 2001, press reports indicated that the Defense
Intelligence Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) planned to reproduce a strain of anthrax virus suspected of being held in Russian
laboratories. According to the same reports, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), under the auspices of Project Clear Vision, is engaged in
building replicas of bomblets believed to have been developed by the former Soviet Union. These small bombs were designed to disperse biological agents,
including anthrax. Government attorneys were said to be confident that, because these projects were designed to develop defensive measures, they
were not in violation of the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention.
