Playing the president, Albright faced with tough questionsBy John Mintz

Updated: 11:56 p.m. ET Jan. 14, 2005The imaginary patients started stumbling into emergency rooms in Munich and Frankfurt, then Istanbul and Los Angeles, and within hours after the start of a war game yesterday, Western intelligence agencies concluded that there had been a choreographed attack on numerous cities by terrorists wielding smallpox pathogens.


By mid-afternoon, health experts realized that millions of people worldwide would soon die agonizing deaths. World leaders — or at least people posing as them — who were assembled at a mock Washington summit yesterday interrupted each other and waved their arms as they debated potential real-life choices. Perhaps the most important: Would wealthy nations that possess smallpox vaccine share it with their unprepared neighbors?

Eye of the storm
The exercise, called Atlantic Storm, featured former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright as the U.S. president and eight current or former high-ranking officials of America's European allies — such as Britain, France and Germany — role-playing as the prime ministers of their respective countries.
