Guilty!

Now, I want this guy, Daniel Seikaly, given a handwriting/handprinting test to see if he addressed the anthrax letters.

And let me add one more thing, in checking the Mormon "www.familysearch.org" site, it looks like all these "Seikaly" surnamed folks are ARAB LEBANESE.

The family sebsite shows this family tree ~ http://www.seikaly.org/family_tree.html ~

Are we getting hot?

Lebanon was, of course, occupied by Syria and Hamas at the time ~ and Hamas is still a threat to people living there. This Seikaly guy may well have had family "hostage" to the situation ~ just exactly what did the government have in mind letting someone like this get so deeply involved in the Anthrax Investigation?

Seikely's boss should be dragged in for investigation.

Good catch. Don’t know about hot, but certainly a lot more interesting.

I watched Dr Hatfill’s press conferences and came to the conclusion that he was either the greatest actor in the world or completely innocent and will end up owning the FBI HQ. This questioning supports the latter.

The moving van is on the way. I'm sure Hatfill will love that building ~ private elevator, own lunchroom, stupendously huge closets ~ but the Air Conditioning bill will blow him away!

Again, why was Daniel Jr. even employed on any sort of office close enough to the Anthrax Investigation that any of this stuff could get out?

Someone has some ANSWERS TO QUESTION, and it's time to go back to the earliest FBI statements on the matter and start making them rehash their stories.

I think this 'splains why the FBI tried to edge the Postal Inspection Service and its best field operations analysts from any contact with the investigation.

Time to bring in the Postmaster General and the Chief Inspector to find out why they caved so easily to the FBI pressure.

This could get fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWA72L--VwE&feature=related Here's a little ditty on Youtube about George Bush' sex life (a satire of some sort) and it has a Seikaly and a Rosenberg in the "tags".

I do wonder if Seikaly and Barbara Hatch Rosenberg run in the same circles ~ Hmmm!!!

And this stuff escapes the notice of the FBI analysts on the Anthrax Investigation team.

Time to bring in Babs too ~ put her on the grill!

Any chance this sleazy character will be prosecuted? Not much chance. I'm sure that his fellow conspirators, government lawyers all, won't be able to find anything wrong with his actions.

Pretty good insight as to the kind of people who make careers in "government service." I'm sure he is just one of many who will do anything, regardless of the propriety, to promote his or his fellows interest. He can do so because he is above the law.

Guy is not particularly typical of folks who make careers in government service. In fact, ten minutes worth of research reveals that he may, in fact, have had some links with Naderesque-like elements OUTSIDE the government.

Think of him as an NGO spy or saboteur of some sort and you'll be on the right track.

“”Q. Did you think it remarkable in any way that bloodhounds could track a scent from anthrax letters that were ten months old to a Denny’s in Louisiana where someone had eaten the day before? [deponent invokes Fifth Amendment]””

Suurre, if it was Tinkerbell the Wonder Dog!

He can sit there and plead the fifth a hundred times now, but he'll have to testify once the trial begins (if they don't settle with him before then).

It is somewhat maddening though how excruciating it can be for people to get justice in this country these days.

Wouldn’t the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination apply equally at trial as at deposition?

When in 2001 did he move over from the CIA to the FBI?

“Reporters Say Hatfill Partly to Blame,” Associated Press, December 20, 2007
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ggnSVGuQvX23iSN9fCYgtmUMsaBAD8TL9S181

The Stewart and Locy declarations, on their face, seemed persuasive when the journalists talked about all the contact with Dr. Hatfill’s attorney.

But I guess it is not fair to hold it against Dr. H that his counsel met with reporters and advocated his innocence.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think that only applies to the accused defendant in a criminal trial; I don't think it would hold true in a civil action.

Although I only ever rely on “Law and Order” and am loath to cite “Wikipedia”, counselor Wiki advises:

“Giving testimony in a trial or other legal proceeding that could subject one to criminal prosecution.

The right against self-incrimination forbids the government from compelling any person to give testimonial evidence that would likely incriminate him during a subsequent criminal case. This right enables a defendant to refuse to testify at a criminal trial and “privileges him not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings” (Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 94 S. Ct. 316, 38 L. Ed. 2d 274 [1973]).

But I still find it amazing that a person in that position would give an interview on these factual issues — for example, without even having any connection between Dr. Hatfill and the park.

I mean, it’s not the same as when some web poster points out Ali Al-Timimi held his jihad summer camp in the Frederick park.

As explained in the flyer introduced by the Department of Justice in a different prosecution, in early July 1994, cooperation with Al-Timimi’s Society for the Adherence to the Sunnah, Washington, D.C., IANA held its first annual summer camp in English in Frederick, MD. The theme of the camp was “Living the Shahadah in America.” This is what Sheikh Ali was teaching kids at the 1st Annual IANA Summer Camp at Frederick, MD:

“Reflections on the Meaning of Our Testimony of Faith: ‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah” by Ali Al-Timimi.

***

“6 Wage Jihad in the Path of Allah

***

“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and practice not the true religion (Islam), being of those who have been given the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) — until they pay tribute readily and have been brought low. (The Qur’an 9:29)

The Prophet .. has said:

I am commanded to fight mankind till they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establish the prayers and pay the charity. When they do that they will keep their lives and their property safe from me.”

I mean, it’s almost as if the CIA brilliantly distracted the public from the real reason they searched the park with the cover of the Hatfill theory, which was first advanced by a lawyer for islamic militants who is still making the argument.

So I don’t want TrebleRebel to accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, but let’s flesh out the story with some basic facts. When did this fellow move over from the CIA to the DOJ? I’ve emailed him to ask but not heard back.
