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.

Most in government actually DO try to serve our country honorably, despite the horrendous inefficiency of the bureacracy.

How can the "bureaucracy" have horrendous inefficiency if "most in government actually DO try to serve our country"???

I am sure that the FBI had the probable cause needed to raid this man's home.

According to the story, it was consensual, so probable cause isn't required.

They still beat you, didn't they?

And I didn't prevent the OKC bombing or either of the WTC attacks either, did I? Your point?

The FBI is still trying for that self-fulfilling prophecy.

Oh, I didn't see that fact in the story posted above. Then of course, they wouldn't need a search warrant for consent.

Now I just heard on the radio that a former roommate of Atta was arrested in Maryland(?). Think they said he was Jordanian. Was only half listening and I don't know if this is the same arrest/raid referred to in the original post.

Details will trickle out

The point is that you seem to be implying that they (the FBI) are 1) either not doing their best or 2) you can do it better.

I don't beileve either.

Please. Go and read the link, then see if you feel the same way. INSIDERS were asking the same questions.

If you don't, you are making a conscious decision to remain uninformed.

Which is it? Did they not do a good enough job, or could you do it better. How would you have done it different? Be specific, and be sure to hold the law in account if you can.

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

You couldn't?

Well then shut the f*ck up!

Either you are a government employee (such as schoolteacher) or do not understand what "freedom of speech" is, and will soon loose any you had.

Could there have been more than one "Anthrax Killer"?

It is possible that the anthrax cooker was paid by Atta and his buddies, and delivered the stuff to them, then Atta and his friends put it in letters, sent it off to be cycled through the mail in NJ and DC. Maybe that lady who died in NY, who had no known connections, mailed a letter for a friend of a friend and ended up with the disease herself.

The folks up here surmised that Ottille Lundgren, woman who died in CT, probably contracted it because of her habit of ripping junk mail into pieces before throwing it in the trash. Some of her mail had come through one of the affected sites. Even if the amount of anthrax was very small, she was older and had less of a chance of fighting the effects of the disease on her lungs.

The FBI has known for more than three months that the person responsible for sending the letters was a U.S. citizen and, according to the sources, probably a former scientist connected to the government's biodefense program.

(snip)

Mrs. Rosenberg said she and several colleagues have wondered whether the FBI's failure to bring charges in the case is related to government reluctance to publicly acknowledge its biochemical operation.

"Is the FBI dragging its feet? I just don't know. And, if so, I don't know why," she said.

Somehow, I'm of the opinion that you are more interested in haranguing me than looking for facts and truth. I doubt you have enough curiosity to find the link and read the article yourself, so I'm eliminating some excuses for ignorance.

Please prove me wrong.

You'll probably learn that most Jordanians here are actually Pallys. Jordan is the only country that gives them a "sort of" passport.

That said, some of Clinton's biggest supporters were "Jordanians" that were actually Pallys.

Do a google on H.Masri, Farouki and like DC names.

Thanks. Not surprised nothing suspicious has been found. They've only been advertising for months now that every private researcher in the country is a suspect.

This is what you probably heard:

Alien Arrest In Highlandtown

June 24, 2002

The Associated Press

Agents from the F-B-I and the State Department have arrested a 27-year-old Jordanian national suspected of making illegal payoffs for visas obtained from a U-S embassy overseas.

Rasmi Alshannaq was arrested this morning at the home he shares with his father in Baltimore's Highlandtown neighborhood.

According to the warrants, agents were looking for evidence that an insider at a U-S embassy in the Middle East is illegally supplying documents to help people who've been denied entry into the United States.

Authorities say Alshannaq lived in Jordan but entered the United States from Qatar in October of 2000. Authorities believe he may have obtained a visa illegally in Qatar after his attempts to emigrate from Jordan were unsuccessful.

Yes, that's it. This doesn't seem related to anthrax business. You have more info than I've heard here. They got him on immigration charges.

I am wondering if the anthrax raid (if real) and this arrest are separate incidents.

FBI investigators stands beside a rental truck being used to transport evidence Tuesday, June 25, 2002, at the Frederick, Md., apartment of a researcher who may have had access to anthrax while doing work for Fort Detrick. Investigators blocked the entrance to Detrick Plaza Apartments next to the main gate into the military post while they removed materilas in black garbage bags. (AP Photo/Timothy Jacobsen)
