Actually, the comments I made had nothing to do with weaponized anthrax...

It had to do with your comments about not letting your daughter date Freepers, and "...I’ve never even sat at a Thanksgiving dinner table in over a quarter century with a Freeper. Do you folks call it Thanksgiving or do you call it “Wiping out an indigenous people day"?..."

Given that FR has only been around since the mid-nineties, I can see why you haven't been able to reach the quarter century Freepless Thanksgiving milestone.

But the comment about wiping out indigenious people was just bizzare. Perhaps that is your personality and the way you jump from topic to topic, but I think most people read that and think that, in some way, you might not be firing on all cylinders.

That, and your constant stated desire to have your posts pulled...to me it presents the mental image of someone speaking in a seemingly irrational fashion, then clamping their hands over their mouth as if they didn't want it to escape. Personally, I try not to write anything online that I wouldn't want posted on the wall outside my office.

Again, nothing personal (since I don't know you personally) but your online persona comes across as odd, to be polite.

Here is an example of a jailer sneaking the prisoner a treat and obtaining information by showing kindness from today’s Fox News.

WASHINGTON - After confessing to slaughtering 180,000 Kurds and plotting to build a doomsday nuke, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was so upset when his FBI interrogator left for home that he cried like a baby.

FBI Special Agent George Piro whipped out two Cuban Cohibas - Saddam’s favorite cigar - and they smoked on the patio behind his cell at Baghdad’s airport.

“When we were saying bye, he started to tear up,” Piro recalled in the new book “The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack.”

The self-effacing G-man was hardly surprised - he had spent nearly a year carefully becoming Saddam’s best friend in a successful ploy to extract confessions from the notorious brute.

Piro’s inside account of spending up to seven hours a day, every day, for eight months with Saddam is revealed in the new book by journalist Ronald Kessler.

Piro, then 36, began grilling Saddam in early 2004.
Instead of bright lights, loud music or waterboarding, the Beirut-born Arabic speaker - who immigrated to the U.S. as a teen - built a rapport with the dictator nabbed in a spider hole. He treated him with respect and took care of his every need.

On his birthday, Piro showed Saddam news clippings showing that Iraqis no longer celebrated the date. But then the agent gave him baklava Piro’s Lebanese mother sent him in Baghdad.
