    How is the US Military going to justify sending live ANTHRAX to Australia.
    This stuff stays in the soil for decades.
    This was either done by the biggest fools in the industry or it was intentional.

    The Federal Government needs to explain how a US military lab was able to send live anthrax to Australia, Senator Nick Xenophon says.
    The call for an explanation came after an investigation of a US military facility's mistaken shipments of live anthrax bacteria turned up another live sample, this one from a 2008 batch sent to Australia.
    The Pentagon has revealed 24 labs in the United States and one each in Australia and South Korea received suspect anthrax samples.
