Sorry, I don't think I've ever heard of "Bob 'Nailer' Swagger." But I've visited so many blogs and web sites that I can't remember them all.
It doesn't surprise me that he might continue to trash Dr. Hatfill. People get themselves so worked up with hate that they just can't turn it off when the facts show that they are full of crap.
I imagine that all the Neo-Nazis who believed Dr. Philip Zack was the culprit because they thought he was a Jew still believe so, even though it's been shown that Zack is and always has been a Catholic.
Right now, I'm in an argument on a private forum with someone who believes that BHR was right about Dr. Hatfill and that Judge Walton knows nothing about the law and was wrong when The New York Times reported that he said:
“There’s not a scintilla of evidence to suggest Dr. Hatfill had anything to do with it,” the judge said, yet the public notoriety has “destroyed his life.”
I've always complained that no one in the media ever seems to mention Barbara Hatch Rosenberg's role in the Hatfill fiasco. I should modify that to say that no one in the U.S. media ever mentions it.
A British newspaper, The Register, mentions her quite a bit.
The media are supposed to be the people's watchdog against the government, but most over the last few decades most media outlets have become the lapdogs of government instead of the watchdogs. The media are supposed to report ALL the facts to the public as they can best be ascertained, but I am convinced that they routinely withhold information all the time for political reasons.
"In the intervening seven years, biological weapons have killed zero people and been shown, somewhat empirically, not to be so easy to make after all. In any case, a great deal of the biodefense industry in the United States now works with very little oversight. Think of it as scientific welfare for those who often claim to be defending the country against a clear and present danger."
I can't emphasize enough just how important this is. This kind of anthrax weapon is definitely NOT easy to make. If it were, incidents like the anthrax mailings would be happening a lot more often than they are. But on the contrary, it hasn't happened again in nearly seven years now! That is concrete evidence of the difficulty involved in just one or two individuals trying to make the product.
