Saddam is the author of 9/11. The anthrax threat is meant to deter Bush from pointing the finger and hitting him back.
Saddam has the initiative here. We have no defense against the anthrax, so Bush elected to stall, to buy enough time to come up with a plan and change the balance of forces. Of necessity, that implied setting up a sham investigation into the "mystery" of the anthrax. This investigation was targeted at our own biodefense establishment, where it could spin its wheels uselessly for months on end without causing any harm. They christened this Potemkin probe "Amerithrax." That was a nice marketing touch, don't you think?
FBI Director Mueller assigned a couple of none-too-bright brown-nosers to pursue a "lone right-wing nut" theory, knowing full-well he was launching them on a wild-goose chase. Lately, the useful idiots at Amerithrax have gotten a bit carried away with the theories of Barbara Rosenberg, left-wing activist and self-appointed useful idiot. But that's also useful, because Bush is gearing up to point the finger at Saddam, so a public discrediting of the "lone nut" theory is just what the doctor ordered right now.
I think you will find this theory fits perfectly with everything that has transpired over the past ten months. I also think that, if you review the Amerithrax web site, you will agree that it does not remotely resemble anything you'd expect of a sophisticated, multi-million dollar investigation into potentially the most deadly threat ever faced by the American people. It actually looks just like a cardboard stage prop. Amerithrax is two men and a dog, and maybe they hired a high school kid to put up the web page. Check it out. Amerithrax is a fake, a fraud and a ruse.
If Hatfield is as successful as Jewell, the FBI will become known as the F'n Blundering Idiots and the American public will lose even more respect for them.
