Currently the working theory is that it (anthrax used in
attacks in the US) WAS stolen.

Indeed, it is pretty hard to come up with a realistic
scenario in which it was not stolen, no?

Yes, the anthrax was most likely stolen from a lab, or given from someone on the inside to someone on the outside who shouldn't have it, which I guess can be considered the same as stolen.

The number one fallacy driving this whole entire deal is that since this is a so-called "U.S. military strain" of anthrax that it had to be stolen from USAMRIID, or even that it had to be stolen from a U.S. lab. Once again, that exact same identical genetic strain of anthrax is known to exist in at least two other countries (UK and Canada), because we gave it to them. And chances are that there are even more countries that have managed to obtain it without our knowledge. This stuff isn't like yellowcake uranium ore, it's extremely easy to move and difficult to contain.
