I am continually baffled that no one has bothered to research the area around Franklin Park, NJ for the location of the infamous 'Greendale School.' While a Greendale School never, to my knowledge, existed in the area, a 'Greenbrook School' was located right on Route 27 in the Franklin Park, NJ area. It was a small structure, mid-thirties design, and it was in a dilapidated state and was not being used as little as two years ago. It was recently renovated and the name was changed and is now, I believe, a pre-K program which is privately owned.
The location of the former Greenbrook school was significant. Route 27 runs parallel to Route 1 - a highly travelled roadway. Directly off Route 1, visible from the highway and also parallel to the school itself, is the New Jersey Islamic Center. Putting 2 and 2 together, it would make sense to me that the sender of the Anthrax letters had a connection to this Mosque. Thus, while traveling around the area in search of a return address, he/she noticed the Greenbrook School off the adjacent Route 27. When the return address was placed on the envelopes, the perpetrator obviously either forgot the original name of the school or simply changed it to put investigators off the scent. If I were investigating this story, I would start with that Islamic Center.
The Islamic Center of New Jersey was also the subject of minor controversy soon after 9/11. A lone protestor stood in front of it with a sign asking, "where's your flag?" The Center was not, of course, flying an American flag before or even soon after the massacre of 9/11. After a newspaper article, however, the Center draped an American flag over its front. (Incidentally, the flag was draped improperly.) The flag still hangs there, tattered and worn. Many people are dismayed that the Center never erected a flagpole for the purpose of displaying Old Glory.
So, while investigators and reporters scramble to make connections to this Green'dale' school, they have overlooked the obvious.

From the
nypost.com's article, sited in the Stix's article:
While no Greendale School exists in New Jersey, a school in the Greendale suburb of Harare, Zimbabwe, is informally known as the Greendale school. It's actually named for a white Rhodesian fighter Courtney Selous - and the Rhodesian commando unit Hatfill joined was called the Selous Scouts.
The article correctly shows that Greendale alone means nothing. However, it leaves without comment the assertion that Hatfill served with the Selous Scouts. If he did, the connection between "Greendale School" and Mr. Hatfill becomes a bit less tenuous, indicating either that the letters were designed to frame Hatfill or Hatfill's actual guilt, and counterindicating mere FBI sloppiness in turning up suspects.

David Letterman used to say that he would look at the network vice-presidents and say can these guys be this stupid or what. So it is with the FBI and the Justice Department. I have never been enamored with Ashcroft. He may have conservative credentials, but can he run a cabinet department? I do not think any senator Republican or Democrat has the competence to run a cabinet level department. Bush's cabinet save for Rumsfield is not serving him well and the handling of this anthrax case is an embarrassment. I am prepared to accept the fact that the anthrax terrorism may have been done by a native born American, but there is absolutely nothing to lead me to believe that this guy could remotely be the one who did the dirty deed.
