I’m thinking more like it was someone (a crackpot) who had access to the Ames strain inside the US and stole some of it in the past, and who waited for an opportunity to use it.
Actually, we’ve got two different conflicting “profiles” working at the same time..... One, a ME guy, and the other, a white disgruntled American crackpot (white, but not necessarily Gentile).
Keep in mind all the anarchist websites and leftist crackpot groups in this country now.
Also, it could be an Arabic ME guy who has been here a long time and who is not happy with his career, someone not directly connected to the 9-11 events. It could even be an anti-Arab who is pretending to be an Arab.
I'm sorry I can't find the link but it's been proven that ATCC sold Anthrax to Iraq. It was obstensibly for the use of developing a vaccine but of course we know how that works.
My problem is that the FBI is being less than forthcoming whent they try to create the impression that the bacteria may have come from a source other than the US. And as such the profile is suspect.
Better to be honest and admit that the strain came from here and take the lumps or admit that it came from Russia but of course we can't sell missile defense with the accusation hanging so we pawn the blame off on some nebulous group.
I'm not buying it.
