Did movies like Outbreak and books like The Hot Zone scare you to death?

This story makes those look like nursery tales.  The old Soviet Union's bioweapons program was the largest, the most far-reaching, the sloppiest run, and the least safe bioweapons in the world.  This tell-all -- by the man who ran the program -- gives specifics about the Russians' efforts and gives play-by-plays of no less than two blunders that infected Russians living close the facilities.

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union there's no doubt that the manufacturing technologies for these weapons is now in the hands of rogue terrorists around the world.
