"On July 14, The New York Times reported that scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had mishandled dangerous strains of anthrax and bird flu, failed to follow correct safety procedures after employees were exposed, and neglected to notify the appropriate supervisors for about one month. This is not the first time we've heard about lax oversight and dangerous disregard at the CDC. In 2006, for instance, the agency 'accidentally sent live anthrax to two other labs, and also shipped out live botulism bacteria.'"
