The document in the article GUEST linked to above is (according to the article) "entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century". It "was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC)", and it "was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff)".

I thought this quote from the document was pretty interesting:

"New methods of attack -- electronic, 'non-lethal', biological -- will be more widely available ... combat likely will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the world of microbes ... advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool"
