Whether you like it or not the OFFICIAL Whitehouse position is that silica was found as an additive. Just read Ari Fleisher’s book. The Whitehouse has NEVER retracted that.
Your wild conspiracy theories are based on the ravings of a madman called Matthew Meselson who embarrisingly (for the FBI) persuaded an FBI scientist (Douglas Beecher) to insert an irrelevant paragraph into a peer reviewed article. Peer reviewed articles are only as good as the peers who review them. And we all know how truthful Meselson is. Or should I remind you of his track record once again?
We went over this is messages 285, 286 and 290 in this thread. But since you seem to have no memory for anything except what you believe, I'll go over it again:
In "Taking the Heat", Fleischer talks a lot about ABC falsely reporting that there was bentonite in the attack anthrax. Fleischer then says on page 203:
Over the next several days, I dug deep into the story [about bentonite]. I spoke not only to officials at the NSC but to researchers themselves at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology [AFIP]. They told me the Daschle anthrax contained silicon and oxygen but not aluminum. Since bentonite contains aluminum, if there's no aluminum, they said, there's no bentonite.
This confirms what I said: AFIP merely detected silicon and oxygen.
You then brought up another passage in Fleischer's book, using THIS LINK, but that passage is about Brian Ross claiming that the White House was saying there was silica in the attack anthrax. It goes back to the early days when almost everyone was incorrectly assuming that the presence of silicon and oxygen meant that some form of silica was present.
My conspiracy theories?
Perhaps our problem here is that you do not understand the meaning of the word "conspiracy."
The legal dictionary definition of a "conspiracy" is:
"When people work together by agreement to commit an illegal act."
An example of that would be your belief that the attack anthrax of 2001 was created via some supersophisticated process that could only be part of some secret and illegal bioweapons program. Or, as Francis Boyle put it:
the culprits are US government related scientists involved in a criminal US government biowarfare program that violated both the BWC and US domestic legislation implementing the same.
While you avoid using the word "conspire," you endlessly theorize that respected scientists, FBI agents and other agencies have conspired to mislead the American people about coatings on the anthrax spores. Whether you use the word or not, that makes you a "conspiracy theorist."
When you call me a conspiracy theorist, you just blather on about your belief that the FBI and many others are being misled by some "madman." That doesn't make me a conspiracy theorist. That makes you a nut case.
I'm saying what the facts say: The spores were NOT coated with silica. And, except for lab contamination, the spores were "pure spores," just as General Parker stated repeatedly. There was no illegal act by anyone except the anthrax mailer.
Understand?
