Why the Feds are (again!) insisting on finding a white American to scapegoat is beyond me.

I don't think this is about a right wing white scapegoat. Under Clinton & Co., of course, that would have been my first thought. Speaking of Slick, there's something slick about this guy. He's trying awfully hard, almost to the point of overkill, to convince us of his innocence. Why the encore performance? Why not just file your papers in court.

Anyone that believe this Justice Dept is any better than the one that preceded it only has to look at the total incompetentcy of those in charge of the investigation of the missing Oregon youngsters. It is pathetic that the families of these girls had to wait as long as 8 months for these incompetents to find the girls bodies only a few yards from their home on the property of a known and convicted abuser.

Something about it gave me an uneasy feeling as well. He was saying all the right things, but some of it didn't quite ring true, to my ears, despite my skepticism both that the anthrax had a domestic source and that it was a right-winger who sent it.

I guess we'll find out eventually.

Always beware the person who cries of leaks.

It's a tried and true Clintonian tactic to leak damaging information yourself and then blame the prosecutor for doing it.

I believe the best defense is a good offense. IF he is innocent, it is to his advantage to squawk as loudly as possible, as often as possible. A shrinking violet will not get his reputation back after the FBI has investigated, abused, and ruined him. This also has the further value of having other minds focus on the case and see (perhaps) what the FBI cannot or will not. The point is to minimize the damage in every way possible.
