I voted "Anybody But Bush" in the last Presidential election, and I think the current administration is top-heavy with total incompetents.
I'm not in the least bit surprised, but we digress from the subject.
I know you believe the Bureau when they insist that it isn't a cold case. So, when do you think we can look forward to seeing someone doing the perp walk on television?
Oh, and if I were Congressman Holt, I have a feeling he's not going to be getting any answers that he finds satisfactory, if the Bureau even deigns to respond to his request at all. I had never heard of the guy before this, which means that in the legislative hierarchy he's pretty much a backbench nobody.
I think they need to create a level playing field first. With politicians like Rush Holt having total misconceptions about the facts, and with The Washington Post filling everyone's heads with nonsense upon nonsense, the FBI needs to set the record straight about additives in the anthrax and where all the nonsense about coatings came from. Then they need to set the record straight about who went after Dr. Hatfill and why.
Once they clear away the mountain of CRAP built by the media and by politically motivated scientists and politicians, then maybe they can risk making an arrest without near certainty that their arrest will have to overcome a mountain of reasonable doubt in court. An arrest and conviction will depend a great deal on scientific evidence. As long as thousands of scientist believe the crap printed in Science magazine and The Washington Post about additives and the need for additives, the FBI can't make an arrest. The media would make it look like an arrest of some scientist the media never previously suspected is just another part of the FBI's coverup of some secret and illegal U.S. government biological weapons program.
