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?

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.

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.

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.

[DemoSmear]

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.

I've seen this statement several times on the net, but have never seen anything to actually back it up. I thought that the first Anthrax victim was the editor of a tabloid newspaper. Can you mention specifics of the Atta connection? The reason why I have a hard time with this version is, if it were true, it would have made BIG headlines in all the papers for a long time.

I met enough military nut cases when I was in the army to know that there are plenty of McVeighs just waiting to happen. Some of those folks need to USE whatever deathly training they've acquired or they're just not happy.

There's a tendency, especially amoung freepers, to demonize liberals and sanctify the conservatives. The notion of another McVeigh type nut out there giving the right a bad name is just too much for some people to take. The reality is that both liberals and conservatives represent different economic blocks. While I favor the conservatives, I see no reason to view them as having a higher moral claim. At the level of elective politics, they both tend to be rascals.

The Atta connection was done on purpose...by Mossad. These idiots knew the entire plan. They simply wanted the Arabs to look as bad as possible and took a home sample that one of their boys stole from the Dietrick lab. They never thought we would get this close to their Dietrick lab boy. The FBI has built a decent case, but it will run in circles until they connect the dots back to Mossad.

Anthrax = Islamic Terrorism

Any scenario other than Islamic terrorism means ALL of the following are just coincidences.

SERIOUS CONNECTIONS

- The most serious bioterror attack in America began only days after 9-11

- The letters all mention standard Islamic catch-phrases.

- Florida Dr. Tsonas treated Ahmed al-Haznawi for a severe leg lesion in late June.
  Dr. Tsonas is now convinced it was cutaneous anthrax.

- Two Johns Hopkins biodefense experts (Dr. Thomas Inglesby, Dr. Tara O'Toole) agree with Tsonas.

- FL hijackers inquire about crop-dusters and dispersal characteristics of chemical loads.

- Atta attempted to obtain a loan to buy a plane and convert it into a chemical transport.

- Moussaoui, the "20th hijacker", had tech info on airliners, crop-dusters, and wind patterns.

- Mohamed Atta went to Huber Drugs (Delray Beach, FL) with red hands during the summer of 2001.
  Druggist thought Atta was suffering from chemical exposure (basic pH -possibly bleach).

- Allah Rakah, detained by FBI, for placing suspicious bag of letters in his car with FL license plates

- Atta met twice with Colonel Muhammed Khalil Ibrahim al-Ani, a "very senior" Iraqi 'Special Ops' agent.
  (one report says the Czechs confirmed they had video...spycraft SOP)
  (Another report claims that a vacumm bottle was passed to Atta during the meeting)

- Ziad Jarrah also met with an Iraqi agent in 2001 in the UAE.

- Marwan al-Shehhi also met with an Iraqi agent in 2001 in the UAE.

- Iraq is the ONLY hostile country known to have succeeded in weaponizing anthrax

- Iraq conducted military exercises simulating the dispersal of anthrax spores from crop-dusters

- The hijackers had two operational hubs: Hamilton, New Jersey and Delray, Florida. Anthrax was found in both areas.

JUST COINCIDENCES??

- The wife of the Sun tabloid's editor rented two apartments to two hijackers In Florida.

- Marwan al-Shehhi went to Huber Drugs (with Atta) with severe chest congestion.
  The pharmacist sold him a bottle of Robitussin initially, and later antibiotics.
