BREAKING - FBI Raiding home of Ft. Detrick researcher at this moment...

ABC Channel 2, Baltimore | June 25, 2002

Reported FBI is raiding (and they did use the term "raiding") the home of a Ft. Detrick researcher in connection with the Anthrax case. Didn't have any further info, just came in.

Hope this is the big break!

[John H K]

Interesting that we've seen a sudden spate of "We don't have any f***ing clue who it is" stories on the Anthrax case in the past week. Deliberate FBI media manipulation to get someone to drop their guard?

Still haven't heard anything more. Researcher not named, either.

Surely you can't be serious.

AUTHORITIES CONVERGING ON SUSPECTED ANTHRAX HOUSE NEAR D.C.
			Posted by Recovering_Democrat On Jun 25 4:24 PM with 37 comments Local TV Just breaking: 50 Miles North of D.C., same type of spores found in Daschle letter are apparently at this house. No other details. DC FREEPers, can you shed light??rd

[Digger]

I guess we should not complain but what took so frick'in long.

[Eagle Eye]

And it took how many months to do this?

[John H K]

It was early on in the ABC local news from Baltimore, about 5 minutes ago....clearly had just broke, no graphics or video or prepared story.

[Redcloak]

Sorry... That was just a juvenile attempt on my part to share some of the joy from the other thread on this. (And to make matters worse, I can't get the music outta my head!)

[sinkspur]

And it took how many months to do this?

It took years to get Ted Kaszynski, and the FBI only got him when it published his screed, and Kaszynski's brother recognized the writing.

Maybe you could have done better?

[Thane_Banquo]

Is the suspect a member of the religion of peace?

[blackdog]

A certain irony though when you think about it. Islamic terrorist, right wing extremist, and it turns out to be someone on the federal payroll! And consider all the rights we have had to give up as citizens because some federal researcher was angry at the government because his pension wasn't big enough? Sounds like the aligator that lives in Maryland has bit the keepers who feed him.

"Surely you can't be serious." And don't call me Shirley.

[Willie Green]

Surely you can't be serious.

In a way, it's not surprising.
Most in government actually DO try to serve our country honorably, despite the horrendous inefficiency of the bureacracy.
Yet there are always those nasty few bad apples who sre so emotionally disturbed that they engage in remarkably insane activities.

My wild guess: this numnutz has no ideological complaints, simply fanatic about the possibility of bio-terrorist attacks that he initiates it on his own to increase funding "to do something about it". Kind of like a peddler giving out free samples to drum up sales.
Twisted, sick people.
(Pure speculation, but wouldn't surprise me.)

How long would it take YOU to fingerprint a specific strain of Anthrax?

You couldn't?

Well then shut the f*ck up!

[blackdog]

Actually, I am of the opinion that ANY federal worker who gets the opportunity to enrich themselves monetarily or in power base will do so. It is a matter of how far they are willing to go. Since September there have been all sorts of fairy tales and manipulations from every level of governent down to the local dog catcher in order to feed on some "War on Terrorism" pie.

[blackdog]

Just ask the Lynx hair boys who glued lynx hair in areas where there were no lynx so they could "protect and study" the rare lynx. In reality they were just commiting fraud, stealing funds, and committing perjury. If these bozo's worked in a germ lab do you think they would be more ethically endowed?

[Illbay]

If they had arrested someone within two weeks you would have wondered how many laws they broke, and how many illegal wiretaps or bugs it took to crack the case so soon.

Maybe we ought to pass a law commanding LEOs not to break a case too soon, nor too late (building an airtight case be d*mned).

If you're going to criticize from the fringes, at least sound intelligent about it.

[Illbay]

Spot-on, Sink. These are people who are going to criticize the government NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.

Buncha panty-waists...

And this federally employed alligator sent an anthrax letter to Mohammed Atta's ex-landlord how?
