Dr. Tara O’Toole – Under Secretary, Science & Technology
According to O’Toole, the U.S. “lacks a coherent plan for conduct of operations to guide the health care sector’s response to mass-casualty care in the event of a bioterrorist attack or other large-scale catastrophe.” …But critics charge that O’Toole is a fearmonger who is overhyping the threat of an attack, leading to an increased amount of research labs handling deadly agents. “O’Toole is as out of touch with reality, and as paranoiac as former Vice President Cheney. It would be hard to think of a person less well suited for the position,” Rutgers University microbiologist Richard Ebright told Wired Magazine. “She makes Dr. Strangelove look sane.”
