PLUM ISLAND, N.Y. (AP) - The Plum Island Animal Disease Center off eastern 
Long Island may have been responsible for outbreaks of Lyme disease and West 
Nile virus and could be vulnerable to terrorist attacks, a new book claims. 
Although attorney and first-time author Michael Carroll concedes he has no 
direct evidence, he insists he's right, citing seven years researching Lab 257: 
The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory, 
published by William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins. 
"Every investigation is about connecting the dots," the author said of his 
claims. "We know that documents show, that hundreds of hours of interviews show, 
in this book, Plum Island is run and protects workers . . . worse than a 
junior high school biology laboratory."
