Good to see you on the thread, TGS, I always thought your posts re anthrax were entertaining and interesting, even if I wasn't convinced...however, you are a man of courage and honor...there are a lot of folks who have gotten into "flame" wars about issues that just disappear. I would say you retain your credibility because you have that courage, your expertise on the issue of bio warfare was/is never in question.

Thanks for your kind words, especially well-taken since I think we had some verbal dust ups over the invasion timing in the past. I would take this report with a grain of salt (or anthrax) for now, however. It sounds a bit hokey. I do believe Iraq's complicity in the anthrax threats will be exposed once this thing is over, however. If it turns out to have all been the work of a "right-wing rogue US defense scientist," then I'll retire my screen name and come back as "Nick Kristof Wins." And that's a promise.
