A recent air leak from a laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, a lab that studies dangerous pathogens like influenza, tuberculosis and rabies, is a very serious issue because it has the potential to harm both employees and the public.
Leave it to Congress to put on some political theater and declare they will investigate - using lawyers.
It's not that there are no people in Congress with expertise, Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., is a microbiologist. She just isn't on the committee of 54 law school graduates figuring out what went wrong.
Thanks, Congress. I feel safer knowing you will be posturing and grandstanding about this.
