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.

Thought they were the 19th... So he sits ina a motel for a few days.

I made that same mistake the other day -- the media kept talking about letters of September 18th, as if that was when they were posted. It was just this week (yesterday, I think) that they actually showed the envelopes with the postmark of September 11.

The first thing that comes to mind is that they were posted the night of Sept. 10 or before they headed to the airport Sept. 11. Or were posted by cohorts left behind on the ground who may still be among us or who left on the flights later that week. And I would think that they originated from the group that flew out of Newark because the others started their flights from Maine and DC.

I still want to know what happened to the 12 Middle Eastern men, posing as pilots, who were reported to be riding in the cockpits of planes grounded after the attacks of Sept. 11 started. Have they been rounded up? Or are they still among us?

Actually, I appreciate your comments, but I don't want to know where they went.... yet.

Let's hope the feds can keep some things secret so they can use them for tactical advantage for now.

I'm willing to wait a few months until Osama and Saddam are dead to get the details. Then I will relish them!!!

I met a FReeper on here once who's profile claimed that he was the editor for Ahead News. I can't remember his FReepre name though.

"That's real overkill," agreed Clint Van Zandt, a former top FBI profiler. "It is someone other than a bin Laden trying too hard to link up to Sept. 11. It is a gratuitous reference."

Well, Cliffy, let's apply your logic to all the evidence left behind in the car at Logan airport by the kamikaze hijackers, such as the letters, the journal complete with references to killing themselves, the centerfold of ZZ Top bin Laden, the KORAN, etc. Using Van Zandt's logic, we have to dismiss all of that as it is "overkill," and someone "trying too hard to link up to bin Laden." We could consider it all "gratuitous evidence."

I keep wondering where & what evidence there is of this... so far, all I've seen is opinion ( spin? ) without facts.

Your point about Waco is well-taken.... FWIW, here in flyover country I heard, very soon after the event, sentiments to the effect of "they burned up a church full of women & children over a matter that could have been taken care of by a process server....."
