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.

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"?

This story will fade away... like Vince Foster, Waco, or JFK years ago, etc. The public is moving on-- (who beyond net news addicts here cares?)... it's assumed that some Islamic folks did it, and that's the end for Joe Sixpack. Perhaps the people behind the Antrax scare are on a Bermuda beach enjoying their wire transfer for the deed. It was an inside job, most likely, based on all these coincidences. And now that the media has entered this dead-end, the govt will run the clock out (a la Vince Foster, Waco, etc.) with drip-drip-drip info till it's really old news that is placed on page 7 instead of page 1 of newspapers.

To me, the Anthrax scare had a TV movie-of-the-week kind of feel to it. Then, add in the fact that several bio-weapon experts (scientists) are dying... perhaps we've all entered some giant episode of Murder She Wrote.

Aha - dirty tricks in the air? Notice Anthrax problems have disappeared. Methinks the FBI knows exactly who was involved and has told them to knock it off. A cover-up is in progress.

The FBI is obviously desperate to show the anthrax attack to have been conducted by an American – “a right-wing, extremist, militia-type similar to Tim McVeigh.” (Clinton may be gone, but his FBI is still in place.)
