How about "weapons-grade anthrax", Rouspeteur? A New York Times editorial on Friday criticized a statement made at a press briefing on Thursday about the anthrax that was sent to Senator Daschle. A spokesman for the Defence Department said "the Daschle material" was "run of the mill" anthrax. The NYT editor noted that the spokesperson was not able to comment "on whether it had an aerosol-like quality or was weapons-grade anthrax". Seems to me that anything that is used as a weapon, and performs like a weapon, is "weapons-grade anthrax" whether or not it is "run of the mill".
