 Swine flu an act of biological warfare?
Klayman questions whether virus is planned attack on U.S.
With 40 confirmed cases of swine flu in the
U.S., an anti-terrorism expert is questioning whether the outbreak is
an act of biological warfare.
Freedom Watch, a public interest watchdog, believes that there is a
very good possibility that the precipitous outbreak of the virus in
Mexico, which has now spread to the United States and other western
countries, is not the result of happenstance – but terrorism.

The group issued a statement, noting that the
U.S. has been expecting a biological or other catastrophic terrorist
attack since Sept. 11.
"What could be more clever than planting the seed in neighboring
Mexico and allowing it to spread to the United States?" Freedom Watch
asked.
The organization speculates that after President Obama's outreach
to Iran and other Middle Eastern leaders, coupled with his denunciation
of Bush administration interrogation techniques, his defense of the
Muslim world could be seen as an asset to terrorist groups and may
explain why the pandemic began in Mexico – to protect the president.
"In this dangerous world, with an American president who is widely
loved in the Arab/Muslim world … one must ask the hard question: Is
this a coincidence or the result of a slick way to attack the United
States without having President Obama, a perceived long term 'friend,'
blamed for the attack?" Freedom Watch Chairman and General Counsel
Larry Klayman said.
He noted that terrorists might believe it makes
sense to attack the United States and its western allies without
putting the "boogie man" on Obama, who Klayman said appears ready to
move quickly toward the creation of a Palestinian state on the West
Bank of Israel and has attempted to appease Iran and other hostile
Middle Eastern states.
Klayman, author of "Fatal Neglect: The United States' Failure to
Protect American Citizens from Terrorism," said Freedom Watch has filed
FOIA requests today with the Department of Homeland Security, the
Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense, the
National Security Administration and the CIA to learn what the Obama
administration has known about the swine flu outbreak and how long it
has had the information.
"Previously, under the Bush administration, in the days preceding
September 11, the White House apparently knew that an anthrax attack
was imminent, since it distributed CIPRO, an antibiotic to staffers,"
he added.
Meanwhile, Obama said today that while the spreading virus is of concern, it is "not a cause for alarm."
Customs agents only recently began watching people who enter the United States for the virus.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC
condemned the administration's "passive surveillance" of the virus and
failure to immediately secure the borders after 1,600 cases of swine
flu infections were confirmed in neighboring Mexico – with a death toll
that has reportedly reached 169.
"The Obama administration's failure to secure our borders against a
possible pandemic is putting American lives at risk at a time when days
and hours matter," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "The weak and
inadequate 'passive surveillance' described during Sunday's press
conference is offensive to the rational mind."
ALIPAC is calling on the Obama administration to immediately close
the southern border to protect Americans from the outbreak and restrict
all inbound air and ground traffic from Mexico to emergencies and
product delivery.
There have been no confirmed fatalities relating to swine flu in the
U.S., but the acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Dr. Richard Besser, said Americans should be prepared
because the outbreak could worsen and include "possibly deaths."
But while customs officials say they've been checking people for
signs of the virus as they enter the U.S., Customs and Border
Protection spokesman Lloyd Easterling told the Associated Press that
the borders are still open.
He said officials were "just taking a second look at folks who may be displaying a symptom of illness."
While CDC officials are inspecting travelers who say they do not feel well, no one is being refused entry.
According to one official, the U.S. government will issue a travel
warning tonight advising Americans to avoid all "nonessential" trips to
Mexico because of the outbreak, Reuters reported.
The U.S. has declared a national health emergency and shipped 12
million doses of flu medications to states in case they are required.
But ALIPAC is criticizing the Obama
administration's handling of the outbreak – saying its failure to act
may cost American lives.
"Obama was playing golf
Sunday. Instead, he should have been addressing the nation,
securing the borders, and filling the gaps in our government leadership
from an emergency command center!" said William Gheen. "He refuses to
send troops to the border to stop the violence from spilling over or
the Mexican flu from crossing into America. Instead we get second-tier
bureaucrats telling Americans to wash our hands and cover our mouths
when we cough like a bunch of 1st grade students."
Gheen is urging people to contact their representatives immediately
and demand that Congress hold emergency hearings to override the open
borders policies of the Obama administration and protect U.S. citizens
from the potential pandemic.
