ANTHRAX PROBE SHIFTS TO HOMEGROWN HATE GROUPS

Ultra-right-wing organizations - including a particular West Coast group - have become a key focus of the massive federal investigation into the murderous Anthrax attacks, The Post has learned.

Investigators have been zeroing in on members of several anti-government hate groups that they believe have obtained or attempted to get the deadly bacteria from several U.S.-based laboratories before it surfaced in Florida, Washington and New York this month.

This makes the most sense to me. The fact that Rather, Brokaw, other members of the media and Daschle were targeted doesn't smack of terrorist doings.

A more logical choice would be one of the extremist enviral groups who hate America/Americans and have engaged in eco terrorists acts for at least a decade against innocent Americans.

Go to this link, (Link of Anthrax to Enviral Terrorists)

The EcoTerrorist Anthrax Connection, News/Current Events, Source: CNSNews.com,

Published: October 23, 2001 Author: Tom DeWeese Posted on 10/23/01 4:49 AM Pacific by Stand Watch Listen

While the remains of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York and Washington, DC's Pentagon are "ground zero" for the horrible destruction wrought by foreign terrorists, the nation's forests, research labs, resorts and housing developments have long been "ground zero" for domestic environmentally-driven "ecoterrorists." There may be diabolical links between the two forces."

Is there some type of bad blood between aheadnews.com and Free Republic? They are BREAKING this morning with their assertion that FR is the "west coast group" in question....Have we been hijacked by newbies?

Could all known cases of anthrax be explained by the three known letters?

More BS than I'd care to pull apart. Sources of high-placed sources....can't be international....and so on.

If any VRWC group is involved, you can bet they are a front control group that has nothing to do with RW other than a liberal scapegoat designation.

"Extremist" groups are created for different political purposes by people who use them for chesspieces. Left or Right, it matters not.

I guess that recently convicted Egyptian terrorist buddy of bin Ladin, who confessed in detail as to how bin Ladin's crew obtained the Anthrax from Chech and asian back door bio labs is secretly a West Coast right-wing militia type, huh?

Now I don't much trust confessions coming out of countries known for torturing suspects, but shouldn't those details be followed up on to determine their validity? It sounded a lot more plausible than this crackpot homegrown theory.

Also a simple application of "Ocam's Razor" principle of deductive reasoning, shows that radical Islamic terrorists are more likely to be responsible, as well as motivated to do this so closely to the 9/11 attacks.

Not to mention the basic components of circumstacial evidence in a criminal investigation point to them - motive, means and opportunity.

It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out who dunnit.

Considering that the seven month old was at ABC not NBC and no letter to ABC ever turned up I would say no.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

I am getting so darned angry over the fact that leftwingers have to blame those who are on the flipside of issues! Is this their ploy for more control over our lives?

In another related matter, there is a homeschool website I have run across and there is a real nutcase making the rounds spreading this drivel as well. Take a look if you want:

So targeting the so called "homegrown hate groups" is acceptable? I don't think so.

I wouldn't take this too seriously. They are just spreading chaffe, so they don't have to point the finger at Iraq right now. Do you seriously believe, BTW, that a month into this crisis, after we've had anthrax samples for at least a couple of weeks, we've traced down where it was sent from, and yet the authorities still haven't made a determination if it is homegrown or from the 9/11 terrorists? That is prima facie absurd.

NO. The situation is straightforward. Saddam Hussein is now in a position where, by simply by sending a message to his US-based operatives over the Internet, he can inflict US civilian casualties on a scale comparable to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The anthrax letters communicated that threat. Now the government has to figure out whether to point the finger at Iraq, which means acting against Iraq and probably taking those casualties, or whether it is wiser simply to drop the whole subject and just keep pounding at the Taliban. Saddam wants us to keep pounding the Taliban, BTW. He couldn't care less about Afghanistan -- to come out on top in this, he has to get Pakistan and Saudi, and our bombing of the Taliban fits right into that game plan.

"Bush2 is going to pin this on "right wing terrorists" just like clinton did with Oklahoma City. What the f is going on? Is Bush 2 so scared that the road lead to Iraq, and his father will look like a dunce for letting Sadam stay in power? Or is something else behind all of this?"

get real.

If you can't see what's really happening, you need to turn in your tinfoil hat.

Don't you see that the government is pointing the finger at domestic groups in order to force the Arabs to take greater risks in order to let people know that they are behind it?

What good does it do to creat terror if some other cause gets the credit?

Total BS. Are there terrorists of opportunity? Probably. The govt ought to be tracking down who propagated this nonsense. It might lead to the crimes of the coverups of OKC ...
