Saddam's Fingerprints on 1993 N.Y. Bombings
I've been hearing how awake and serious Americans are now. Really? Who will be in charge of America's Cipro storage. Jocelyn Elders?
- Barbara Boxer - Chair on Subcommittee on Terrorism.
- Gary Condit - House Intelligence Committee.
- James Kallstrom, who led the FBI investigation of the crash of TWA Flight 800, was named by Pataki to head a new state Office of Public Security. God help us.
- Robert Mueller - Director of FBI (LOL!)
- New York Will Re-Elect communist Hillary Clinton.
- Tom Ridge - Homeland Security Press Conference - The only thing missing was Mary Jo White's rendition of The Yellow Brick Road. June 18, 2001. "With Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld ripping apart obsolete defense doctrines to keep the United States on the cutting edge of world leadership, others, with a much lower profile, are working on a more fundamental issue: homeland security." Huh, imagine that.
IRAQ TEMPTS BIN LADEN TO ATTACK WEST
Contradicting Some U.S. Officials, 3 Scientists Call Anthrax Powder High-Grade
"The experts noted that turning anthrax into a weapon of mass destruction still required added steps, like making the powder in quantity and learning how to disseminate it effectively. One expert said that only the United States, the Soviet Union and Iraq were known to have developed the necessary technique. But the experts said some officials were playing down the powder's potency out of ignorance or an impulse to reassure a frightened public."McVeigh's Ghost - Top Pentagon Officials Say Iraq Involved in OKC Bombing

Iraqi Anthrax? -- Getting Closer - October 26, 2001
Cooking the Books
"The CIA has become a government unto itself – and, as such, is a threat to our very system and to our liberties. I know this is not fashionable to say these days, but we have to face facts:
1) They did a horrible job of predicting/preventing Sept. 11.
2) They have lashed out at Congress – the members of which are elected directly by the people – and tried to limit what information is shared with the 'people's representatives.' True, some congressmen are jerks and reveal top secret information. But CIA then uses that breach to justify keeping everyone in the dark.
3) They were just given an extra $1 billion by the president for the hunt for Osama bin Laden. And yet now Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld tells USA Today that we "may never find Osama bin Laden." What, then, are we paying all that money to the CIA for?
4) Iraq: clearly the CIA – through leaks from "government intelligence sources" – is trying to ignore/dismiss Iraq's role in both Sept. 11 and the ongoing anthrax attacks. The CIA is deliberately trying to steer American public opinion away from Saddam. In other words, instead of a straight assessment of gathered facts, they are 'cooking the books' to result in a pre-ordained conclusion.
For example, the CIA very clearly leaked to Murray Weiss of the New York Post on Thursday's front page that "ultra right wing organizations have become the key focus of the massive federal investigation into the murderous anthrax attacks."
Furthermore, the CIA has carefully leaked that of the three nations that manufacture this particular form of anthrax – Russia, Iraq and the United States – the federal authorities have "ruled out Russia and Iraq as sources of this strain of anthrax."
Oh, really?
Why are they ignoring the fact that Israeli intelligence now knows that lead hijacker Mohamed Atta picked up Iraqi-produced anthrax spores in Prague when he met with Iraqi intelligence official Achmed Al'ami on June 2, 2000, in a Prague café?
And that Atta was frequently known to have tried to learn all about cropdusting planes in Florida?
And that Atta once went to a Florida pharmacy for treatment of 'damaged hands'? Perhaps a case of cutaneous anthrax from handling the master supply he brought over with him from the Iraqis?"

A substance attached to the anthrax in a letter sent to the offices of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle indicates that the deadly poison was concocted in Iraqi laboratories, confirming a report by an Iraqi weapons expert cited in a print exclusive by NewsMax.com earlier this week.
"An urgent series of tests conducted on the letter at Ft. Detrick, Md., and elsewhere discovered the anthrax spores were treated with bentonite," ABC News reported late Friday.
"As far as is known, only one country, Iraq, has used bentonite to produce biological weapons," ABC News said.
The unique Iragi biological component helps keep anthrax particles from sticking together, thereby making the substance more easily airborne and all the more deadly. Bentonite is considered by biological weapons experts to be an Iraqi "trademark," ABC News reported.
The discovery of benonite in the Daschle letter anthrax is the first evidentiary link between the wave of anthrax attacks that has hit the U.S. in the last two weeks and Saddam Hussein.
"It means to me that Iraq becomes the prime suspect as the source of anthrax used in these letters," former U.N. weapons inspector Timothy Trevan told ABC News.
Late Monday, the one-time head of Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program, Dr. Khidhir Hamza, said that there was no doubt Iraq had produced the anthrax used in the current wave of bioterror attacks on the U.S.
"This is Iraq," Dr.Hamza told CNBC's "Rivera Live." "This is Iraq's work."
"Nobody (else) has the expertise outside the U.S. and outside the major powers who work on germ warfare. Nobody has the expertise and has any motive to attack the U.S. except Saddam to do this. This is Iraq. This is Saddam," Dr. Hamza said.
NewsMax.com was the only print outlet to report Dr. Hamza's coments.

"I believe the FBI can, and must, do a better job dealing with mistakes. If I have the honor of being confirmed by the Senate I will make it my highest priority to restore the public's confidence in the FBI:- to re-earn the faith and trust of the American people."

Researcher: Iraq attempted to smuggle anthrax to U.S., Britain - October 27, 2001
"TEL AVIV — Iraq has attempted to smuggle large quantities of anthrax into Britain and the United States, an Israeli analyst says.
Dany Shoham, a research associate at Tel Aviv University's Begin-Sadat Center of Strategic Studies, said the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein attempted to bring biological weapons agents into Britain and the United States in 1998. The attempt was reported by Israeli intelligence.
At the time, Shoham said, Iraqi women agents arriving in the United States were hiding vials filled with biological agents under their dresses.
Iraq was also attempting to smuggle biological and chemical agents into Britain hidden in duty-free goods.
Shoham, a reserve intelligence officer with close ties to Western intelligence agencies, said the Iraqi effort was foiled by British authorities. He suggested that Iraq succeeded in bringing the anthrax virus into the United States."
