It is just too coincidental that the first person to die of Anthrax last year also leased an apartment to Atta and I've always believed the FBI is deliberately misleading us, for tactical reasons, into believing the perpetrator is homegrown. I don't buy the homegrown theory.

Our Military has many Moslims! Is it possible that one of our soldiers is on the take from El Quaeida? or at least did the work for religous conviction against this nation?

I don't buy the homegrown theory.Well said! There are far too many coincidnetal items on the antrax to make me easily believe that the terrorist weapon is soley the work on one disgruntled person. If it was "one" person how could it kill people in NYC, WA DC and Florida? I know, I know, the mail. Yet really is that likely? Is it the simple explanation?
Even if someone at the lab was the source of the spores, teh FBI now believes it was "weaponized" off site into a size that they have said the US weapons program is not capable of doing and using a coating not part of the US weapons program. That translates into real money for real expensive equipment and real high quality air handling systems or else lots of sick/dead folks in the neighborhood.
If the truth is every told on this, I suspect that there will be a trail of money funneled into terrorists who bought disgruntled scientists and security agents. The source of that money is likely to be either Saudi, Iraq, or Iran. I also would not be surprised if in addition to some scientists, that some folks in the FBI haven't been bought by terrorists and that is a big part of this cover-up.

Is it possible that one of our soldiers is on the take from El Quaeida? or at least did the work for religous conviction against this nation?I think that with the dirty-bomb suspect, we are now beginning to get a picture of terrorists coming to the US to recruit people they think are capable of various kinds of terrorist acts and willing to spend big money on the recruits. Flying some Chicago gang punk around the world and setting him up with a wife in Egypt is not cheap. This kind of money and organization could easily buy a disgruntled scientist and maybe even someone within a government agency designed to protect the US.
What I can not understand, because it defies logic, is why Tom D, who was the target of a assasination attempt, isn't publicly and politically ripping the FBI, the Bush Administration, the CIA, the NSA up one side and down the other to expose their incompetence in finding the folks who tried to kill him. He has never been shy about pointing out things the thought the Bush Administration should have done. This is the perfect opportunity.
My conclusion is that he has been told who tried to kill him and Tom D has decided that he doesn't want to leak that information. For that hypothesis to be correct, the answer has to be pretty upsetting even to a partisan democrat, who cares little about the country.

I don't buy the homegrown theory.Even if the delivery of spores is by foreign people, it still doesn't rule out that the original source of the spores is local.

This does make sense. In which case they will be scared to confront/arrest the Arab/islamic/muslim muhamid worshiper as to not hurt his/her feelings.

More Barbara Hatch Rosenberg BS that the press laps up.

Ping.
Notice how carefully phrased the FBI statements are. They give a casual reader the impression of referring to a "lone domestic scientist" theory, whereas, in fact, they are perfectly consistent with an act of terrorism by agents of a foreign state or organization. Moreover, the "remote location" at which the spores would have been weaponized could easily have been in another country.
One question here: Why is the FBI supposing that the anthrax was grown clandestinely at Ft. Detrick? Wouldn't it make more sense to sneak out a small sample of spores and then grow them at the "remote location"?

If the Great Satan's theory is correct, maybe Daschle wouldn't want to publicize that.
To: aristeides
Truth or falsity doesn't matter to him, just how the story can be played for his gain.

I've always believed the FBI is deliberately misleading us,What? Just because the antrhax was home-grown in a government facility and some members of the administration were on Cipro six weeks before the appearance of the anthrax...Coincidence, simply a coincidence.

"...or at least did the work for religous conviction against this nation?" Like this???

Death may find you in front of your one-eyed church of Satan or in the filthy bingo parlors where you worship your devil god, but be sure that you will not escape the consuming fire that is the real baptism of the Holy Ghost, The God of Racial Israel."

I agree with PEACH ...the FBI is fond of LYING and the "coincidence" is far far far far less than a billion to one....do we have Muslim subversives working in our research labs and warfare institutions YES ! all over the place and all their uncles and cousins and sisters and we pay them all to steal our secrets and keep our kids out of Graduate schools and gubbimint jobs....look at the stats for yourself and Chinese and Iranians and Iraguis Too!....who can say "WenHoLee CoverUp" ...very good...who can say "Studebt Visas" ...very good...who can say " Research Associate" ...very good...who can say Financial Aid for Illegals and non-citizens....very good....who pays for it..... YOU ME US .... who doesn't give a damn...Congress, bureaucracy and agencies, Universities and the general education racket

I've noticed that Sen. Daschle is much more in favor of war with Iraq this time around, as compared with 1991.

I think you may be right. This article smells. We're led to believe that the FBI is so inept that they'd swing wildly away from this line of inquiry to another, when we know full well that they have more than enough resources to dedicate personnel to multiple lines of inquiry. It's bull.
To: aristeides
Who does the Great Stan like? I didn't see his theory.
But I do know that Barbara Hatch Rosenberg is a nutbag. Google up her name and decide for yourself if you believe one word out of her mouth.

The Great Satan thinks last year's anthrax came from Iraq, and was intended to be a threat of mass killing with biological warfare if this country attacks Iraq. Since then, he thinks, the U.S. has been deterred from attacking.
To: aristeides
I agree. Daschle is now an Iraq-hawk. That says a lot.

"Next week, staffers for Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Tom Daschle, D-S.D., plan to discuss with Rosenberg details of her continuing assessment of the anthrax investigation, including some she believes are too sensitive to publish on the federation's website, said David Carle, a Leahy spokesman." An ominous alliance: Senate Democrats with Barbara Hatch Rosenberg. I'm sure that will get to the bottom of things.
Is it possible that anthrax will become a political issue in this election? What a travesty that would be.
