This is entirely plausible. Terrorists--including this execrable "Army of God," akin to the Taliban in many ways--work exactly this way.

Er, how do you know that the "Army of God" is not al-Qaeda?

Perhaps it really was an anti-abortionist group. But it could just as easily be a terrorist group, masquerading as something else, in an attempt to set Americans against each other.

They and other groups like them have used the anthrax threats in the past. They are a sick bunch:
