We will need chest waders to wade through this b$. We need to point out where this b$ is coming from and why!It's always the same MO with them. Pose as something you aren't, or at the very least, misrepresent what you are, and use it as a forum to promote your agenda.
This group is a little more clever than most, the main page doesn't really address "social" issues, but start delving a little deeper into their website, read where they stand on things, and you see them for what they are.
Leftists are sleazy; they will call themselves teachers, scientists, yes, even ministers and priests, any clothing they can wear in order to hide their true selves.

Thanks for your research on this leftist group!
People like you, Miss Marple and others are what makes this forum so great.
When I read this article, my B$ detector alarms went off immediately, since it was a NY Slimes article. As we both know, the NY Slimes since the Commies took over Russia in the last century, has been pushing the leftist agendas!
I knew nothing of this left wing agenda driven organization. Thanks to you, I now know that anything connected to them is B$ and promotes left wing agendas!
Thanks for being on top of this for us!

Is there still a foreign possibility?In my view there is still very definitely a foreign possibility.
BioPort is the firm that holds the exclusive government contract for producing the anthrax vaccine. BioPort, of course, has many microbiologists on staff who are anthrax experts capable of all of the sophisticated handling of the substance that Kristof limns above. The firm is owned by a German citizen of Lebanese descent, Fuad El-Hibri (his wife is titular owner). Adm. William J. Crowe, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Clinton's ambassador to Great Britain, owns a 13% share.
With BioPort we have hit the tri-fecta of possible motives to spread anthrax:
- Kristof's theory, i.e., a rogue microbiologist did it because he was unhappy with American preparedness for biological attack. This might be called the "his heart is in the right place" theory and would not necessarily lead to BioPort, but BioPort could not be ruled out. In my view it is highly unlikely. I'm suspicious of it because it moves the focus off higher ranking officials and onto a possible patsy.
- Since BioPort (InterVac) is the only provider of the vaccine, BioPort management recognized that 9/11 provided good cover to boost the company's stock price dramatically by releasing a small amount of anthrax.
- El-Hibri sold or provided anthrax to al-Qaeda operatives, to whom, under this theory, he is ideologically committed. Recent reports have shown that avenues were opened up by BioPort that allowed shipment of anthrax to foreign soil.
Kristof's theory
does not rule out an al-Qaeda connection to the anthrax scare. The only scenario now ruled out completely, in my opinion, is the one that claimed that some "right-wing nut in a homemade lab" did the deed.

The danger from Iraq is not a knee-jerk reaction. The paper has conveniently forgotten Iraq's attempted assassination plot targeting the first President Bush. It very possibly was done as a warning to us from Iraq not to start bombing them for Sept 11. A strong hint that they were ready to use biological weapons on us.

When I read this article, my B$ detector alarms went off immediately, since it was a NY Slimes article. Same here. Certain phrases in the article:
Our first impulse when catastrophes happen is to look for foreigners to round up, as we did after the Oklahoma City bombing and after the crash of Flight 800. The Bush administration tried hard to find evidence to pin the anthrax attacks on Iraq.
The subtle nudging that Bush and others like him are bigots (you know, like most conservatives), picking on some poor, Third World country.
Terrorism and laxity, it seems, afflict not only foreigners with different complexions and religions, but --in exceptional cases -- perhaps also those with white lab coats and military haircuts.
US military 'bad'---- a common belief among the left wing.
As well as a few other things.

The FBI is still waiting for the terror attack from Idaho...

You do a great job of really analyzing these mediots's opeds!
Please ping me in the future when you "dissect" these B$ articles/opeds!
Have a great weekend, we will be spending most of it our grandchildren and a couple who are our oldest and dearest friends!

"I don't think that he was trying to kill anybody," said Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, a microbiologist who has studied the attacks for the Federation of American Scientists. "I think the motive was to create public fear, to raise the profile of biological warfare."Looking at their website, I could say it may have been Ms Hatch or any one of her pals over at the "Federation of American Scientists".............they seem to have strong feelings on these issues......................;)
To: Grampa Dave
I've got a few errands myself, I'll talk to you later. I'll be sure to give you a holler in the future.

The New York Times should stick to subjects they know something about:
In-depth reports on the gay life-style.

OOPS... My bad.... I thought the tread title was referring to CLINTON
To: CrossCheck; Alamo-girl
He is an American insider, a man working in the military bio-weapons field. He's a skilled microbiologist who did not aim to kill anybody or even to disrupt the postal system. Rather, he wanted to sow terror. And he was just following orders.

It's not clear to me that our first impulse wasn't right. There continue to be rumbles that McVeigh and Nichols had foreign help. The crash of Flight 800 was very likely not caused by the center wing fuel tank.
