Atta regularly went to Prague.
This issue of whether he met with an Iraqi agent on April 8 never mentions the fact the Atta travelled to Prague and flew out and in of its airport dozens of times.
And why has the issue of Iraq's ties to the anthrax attacks not been front and centre in the WMD debate when it looks like there is a lot of evidence there.
That right there is the big million dollar question, isn't it?
My personal opinion is that since the end of World War II, nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons have always been seen as last resort, "doomsday" weapons, the application of the principle of "Mutually Assured Destruction" and all that stuff. Although these weapons have always rightly concerned us, I don't think that prior to the 9/11 period that our government ever honestly believed that our enemies would actually escalate a war against us to the level of using such weapons.
Now of course, we know otherwise, and I think it scares the hell out of the people in high places in America to know that our enemies not only hold the "keys to the kingdom", but that they would actually take it to the level that they have. Better not to have the average American people dwelling on such things like whether their next letter or bottle of medication is going to have an anthrax cloud in it.
It very rarely gets widely reported in the media, but law enforcement drills simulating an anthrax attack are done on a pretty regular basis now in big cities all across the country. It's not too hard to figure out why.
