Thank you for the heads up. So if it is a home grown terrorist we need to look for someone with expertise in aerosol physics, and micro-biology who had at minimum an extra $100,000 to devote to a terrorist action. The $100,000 figure is the extra bio conatinemnet equipment that would minimally be needed to load the latters and move the powder around. Now said person also just happens to want to do this at a timing which is just so coordinated with the September 11, 2001 attacks. Clearly anyone who is talking of this being a basement/kitchen lab is engaging in intentional disinformation.

I do not really want to complain too much about the disinformation if there is a legitimate reason but I would think a simple statement like G. W. Bush made last night that we do not yet know who made the anthrax spores should be sufficient.

Stay well - Stay safe - stay armed - Yorktown

Agreed.

No need to roll the boulder down the Iraq hill until we're ready.

Although I have believed up to now that the anthrax probably comes from an Iraqi source, the hysterical reaction some people here on FR had the other day to a claim that the source was Pakistani makes me wonder whether some government shills may be particularly afraid of that claim because it is true. I wonder if Ames-strain anthrax was ever supplied to the ISI or some other Pakistani outfit. Of course, both might be true -- the ISI might be using anthrax that they got from Iraq.
