Taking your ideas, I think the "right wing" or "domestic loner" theory isn't dependent on Hatfill originally - but leftie stereotyping considering this theory might have something to do with his eventual targeting.
As for the "right", there's more "foreign" theories than Iraq. Anyway, part of the seeming hardheadedness we see and undue "profiling" is because "profiling" is how these investigative agencies operate. There's a bureaucratic group think, founded in CYA, that frustrates us. IOW seeming narrow thinking could be deception, or could be just how the people think.
And I do believe there's been some wild goose chases...that whole "pure anthrax" Dugway experimentation.

All the letters were sent through Trenton, only one mailbox found as a mailing point, accross the street from Princeton University. If someone travelled to Princeton to do this, would they risk doing it twice? And possibly leaving some kind of record of the trips? And mailing the letters at a mailbox on a busy street full of merchants and pedestrian traffic - does that make sense for a non-local? When you say all the letters, I assume that's not including the one at AMI, correct?
Your questions are good ones. It's possible that the mailer was going to visit an associate at or near the university, on his way up north or south, and just decided to drop off the letters there. But if he indeed used the same box both times, that is very odd indeed.
I wonder if the feds have done any kind of investigation of Islamist types who may be working at the university.

Tru, 1 was meant to discourage investigation of the domestic angle, 2 was meant to discourage investigation of the foreign angle.
Most of the time, people ready to jump on the domestic bandwagon at a mere hint were on the left, and people ready to jump on the Iraq bandwagon at a mere hint were on the right. Not always, but most of the time.
Political affiliation is irrellevant. Between 1 and 2, investigation of either domestic or foreign sources has been discouraged.
