Against Terror www.usamriid.army.mil is the Web site for the United States Army Medical Institute of Infectious Diseases. USAMRIID offers a course for physicians and other healthcare providers on the medical management of chemical and biological casualties. This site contains links to the handbook for that course, which features everything you ever wanted to know about diagnosing and treating anthrax, botulism, smallpox, cholera, plague, Q fever.... Many of the sources quoted in "Rx for Terror" express the urgent need to address the biological terrorism threat. In "The Great Superterrorism Scare" ( www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/ART4.htm), political scientist Ehud Sprinzak advocates a more conservative approach. His article first appeared in the journal Foreign Policy.
