Excellent rebuttal and analysis. What John doesn't seem to understand is the properties of aerosolized anthrax. An amount equivalent to the number of bacon molecules needed for one to smell cooking bacon in another room in a dwelling is sufficient to infect. Wearing masks as they undoubtedly were, the spores cling to pants and socks and look for a break in the skin. Anthrax diagnosed to a medical certainty. Contact with Atta by Iraqui intelligence. Only question: What's our eta for doa re:Sod didhisownson?

Here’s an old anthrax thread which you may have missed but which may yet be of interest.

Throw in Jarrah’s favorite great uncle being involved with the East German Stasi and it could get downright weird.

......(snip)”A constant figure in Jarrah’s life in Germany was his great-uncle, Assem Omar Jarrah,” reported the Wall Street Journal in August 2002. “According to the German magazine, Der Spiegel, Assem Jarrah worked for a long time as an informer for the Stasi, the East German secret service, while maintaining connections to [Abu] Nidal’s terror group.”

The Journal’s Asla Aydintasbas - the only U.S.-based reporter to explore the Nidal-9/11 link in any depth - reported that the Palestinian terror kingpin spent much of his terrorism career as a hired hand, often in service to Iraq or Syria.

Just days before Aydintasbas’ report, Nidal had been found dead in Baghdad of multiple gunshot wounds; his demise ruled a suicide by Saddam’s security forces.

Der Spiegel reporter Gunther Latsch told Aydintasbas that Ziad Jarrah was “very close” to his great Uncle Assem, the Abu Nidal operative: “He was the one who picked him up at the airport when [Ziad] first came to Germany. The uncle paid for his apartment. He really took care of him.”
Then, just two weeks before the 9/11 attacks, Uncle Assem disappeared after living in Germany for 18 years. The 9/11 hijacker-relative has not been spotted since. .....
