Well, I guess our hometown podiatrist/bomber to be took precedent down here over Hatfill. Perspective is everything isn't it?

This is like American Idol in reverse. They have twenty persons of interest and if they are whittling that list down, the person of interest who is left, might be "it" but without a record contract.

Why did the FBI start investigating these labs in the first place? Did somebody call a hotline or something and give them a lead? This story has not been highlighted around here.

I still don't trust him, even though he's probably innocent. He's milkin' it a little bit IMO. If he hates publicity, why is he holding press conferences? It is curious that he is blaming Ashcroft when it would be easier to just file a complaint against the justice department without naming Ashcroft specifically. That's why I believe the dems are egging him on. FV

"Why did the FBI start investigating these labs in the first place? Did somebody call a hotline or something and give them a lead? This story has not been highlighted around here."

Starting last December, while at an international conference in Switzerland, Barbara Hatch Rosenberg launched the theory that the anthrax perp was a member of the "American biowarfare community". She went on to assert that she, and most of her colleagues, probably knew who the "rogue scientist" was.

Her story first appeared in the house organ of Germany's Green Party.

The media found her "revelations" absolutely fascinating and got on the story like a chicken on a june bug. Since then, she's been playing media darling, asked to comment on each and every "break" in the case. Which, whenever the trail turns cold, she furnishes a brand new "suspect".

Thanks to her "expertise", which has more to do with media management than bacteriology, she even got a confidential meeting with Senators Daschle and Leahy and their staffs.

Shortly thereafter, the FBI made a surprise raid on Hatfill's apartment...accompanied by a fleet of media helicopters and a convoy of remote vans.

If I was Hatfill, I'd be pissed off, too. At John Ashcroft, or anybody in a position of authority who was allowing this charade to continue.

Of course, there is some thought that Hatfill is in on the act and knows the script. He may be a CIA asset himself...and is to play out the role as a media diversion until such time as the administration is ready to announce where the anthrax really came from.
