The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is an amalgam of multiple agencies that have been joined together for pretty much all WMD's and some non-proliferation work. This includes bio weapons. They create bio-weapons and figure how how they can be made more deadly and contagious. Their other goal is to make them immune to current treatments for those bio weapons. All in the name of trying to find cures??? Does this seem like sound reasoning? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems ridiculous to me. Perhaps this is the loophole in the International ban on bio and chemical weapons research. Just claim it is for finding cures in the event that someone else creates this same bio weapon. I checked the history for the DTRA from their own website.
