No, Ed, I don’t know you and you don’t know me. I’m just an admirer. I have no stake in this anthrax drama whatsoever, except that there are days when its the only compelling conversation on FR.
And.....if I’m not helping, its only because you and Zac are paying WAY too much attention to my posts, and not enough on your own research, theories, and debate. You’re too willing to let any little puff of air be part of your complex and confusing pool of facts.
Now, I could tell you that the last time I went to Wikipedia, it was to read about Maria Tallchief, the Dawes Rolls, and Trail of Tears. But of course, I can’t prove that to you. But hey, you’re welcome to add that to your anthrax research. I’ll help you out....ie, some random poster on FR was reading about Indian Territory, reservations, and migration across the US frontier.....anthrax spores on the plains....researching the life of a spore......oooooo, keep an eye on that one.
Ed wrote a comment a while back on his webpage about the implications of who was Attorney General for resolution of Amerithrax.
He was more right than he knew.
“Mukasey, widely viewed as one of the country’s top trial judges, presided over important trials including the 1995 New York City terror trial of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven co-defendants, who were convicted and received lengthy jail terms. In an unusual statement, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, upon reviewing and upholding the judge’s work, noted that Mukasey had ‘presided with extraordinary skill and patience, assuring fairness to the prosecution and to each defendant and helpfulness to the jury. His was an outstanding achievement in the face of challenges far beyond those normally endured by a trial judge.’”
When questioning a Freeper from the Midwest, the Postal Inspectors were startled when she out of the blue mentioned a guy named Nosair. (He was the blind sheik’s bodyguard) (They knew all about him.) The three postal inspectors had flown and then driven a long way to talk with her.
Judge Mukasy is exactly who the Department of Justice would want when the Amerithrax indictment is unveiled — given that the conspirators were all motivated in part to retaliate for the detention of the blind sheik and other leaders who have been detained or rendered.
With Mukasey as Attorney General and Mueller as Director, the Department will have the confidence it needs — and the Administration has come to sorely lack.
I'm not sure that whatever attention I paid to your posts had anything to do with anthrax.
Every weekend, TrebleRebel has been posting images addressed to you, images which look like wimpering messages from a love-sick teenager you once met in Paris. I couldn't tell if he was using this thread to write some fanciful form of love poetry or if he was pleading with you to help him in some way. So, I think everyone was waiting to see how you would respond.
But, I'm glad you find the conversation "compelling." I do, too -- at least some parts of it. When everyone has a totally different point of view, you can never tell when something new could pop up.
From now on I won't let myself be distracted by images from the lovelorn or the responses.
