What if this is some kind of "dry run" for the real terror to be unleashed through the mail? Whomever did this has gained valuable information in the past couple of weeks.
Second thought, suppose the FBI is making statements about it being a "right wing group" because they are trying to throw off their suspects. How do we know that Russia hasn't released some of their small pox virus? I think they know more than they're letting on.
(Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, has concluded, based on the below evidence, that the government is lying to the American people about the severity of the anthrax crisis.
First, the Associated Press reported yesterday that, (a)t least some White House personnel were given Cipro six weeks ago. White House officials wont discuss who might be receiving the anthrax-treating antibiotic now. On the night of the September 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off to the safety of Camp David, and told them it was a precaution, according to one person directly involved. This shows that The White House knew of the anthrax attacks much sooner than admitted. See White House Mail Machine Has Anthrax, Associated Press, October 23, 2001.
Second, when asked yesterday if he had been tested for anthrax, President George W. Bush refused to answer on two occasions. Id. This buttresses the conclusion that The White House has known of the full extent of the problem for some time, but will not discuss it with the American people.
Not to mention all of the hoaxes going on. Almost every day in every city in this country, Fire and Police are running "scary letter" calls. Some are elaborate hoaxes, others are just a piece of junk mail with a NY or NJ postmark and no return address. People are scared.
I imagine that the folks who sent the first round are taking notes and learning fast.
