There are lots of articles out today about this profile released by the FBI. All of them seem to point in a different direction, so here is an opinion you won’t read in the papers or see in the news.

A mature male, educated loner, with grievance against the government, who would take precautions to protect him self. This sounds like an eco-terrorist possibly another Ted Kinsinski who is a flaming liberal that shares the same views as Al Gore.

The obvious question, is Al Gore under investigation? Considering the Supreme Court Building was closed down because of Anthrax contamination, I do not believe this question is out of line. Who else has a bigger grievance against the Supreme Court?

The author uses dashes ("-") in the writing of the date "09-11-01." Many people use the slash ("/") to separate the day/month/year.

Yeah, yeah. I have read with interest all the analysis and profiles of the sender, but I have yet to see a single comment on this: WHO writes "09"?????? The only reason one would EVER formulate the date this way to my knowledge would be online ordering, the inputing a credit card expiration date.

It is a very odd formulation, and I think it's even odder that the FBI wouldn't even note that.

Notice that Networks spoke of a non-arabic (angry White) person, but FBI says no such thing.

I hope they have improved their profiling techniques since the Unabomber case.

The author uses the words "can not," when many people prefer to spell it as one word, "cannot."

Author is used to using contractions and made an attempt to seperate the contraction can't. Likely someone with good comfort level with American idioms.

However, the first letter of the first word of each sentence is written in slightly larger upper case lettering. Also, the first letter of all proper nouns (like names) is slightly larger. This is apparently the author's way of indicating a word should be capitalized in upper case lettering.

Author understands the importance of capitalization, and it appears that he sub-subconsciously "capitalized" where he should have.

The names and address on each envelope are noticeably tilted on a downward slant from left to right.

Author is right-handed and is not used to writing on non-ruled paper. Very familiar with writing in western form (left to right).

KEY POINT

The author uses dashes ("-") in the writing of the date "09-11-01." Many people use the slash ("/") to separate the day/month/year.

Author may be a computer user as most software packages will not allow dates to be written with a slash as that has a mathematical value associated with it.

My Analysis

Author is a western born and raised individual. Likely male, intelligent, under 50, with plenty of experience with computers. Likely not a programmer, but maybe a power user. Database entry or similar job at night would be a good starting profile. He has to have access to chemisty equipment of moderate sophistication, so check Universities in Trenton area first.

more easily disbursed than letters 1 and 2.

First, we have to get the morons out of the FBI. The word should have been "dispersed" rather than "Disbursed."

Look them up:

I think they did when they noted that its probably a scientifically trained person - its the type of thing an engineer would do.

I really think Fox Network should tell the dirty details about the lettters they got. And post the pictures of them.

Hate to say it, M. But I do that. I am a computer programmer. I have two character buffer for the month and I am going to fill it.

I noticed the extra stroke, or the very heavy stroke on the T's, and one other intital letter, and wondered what that meant. It looked as if he had gone over the crossbar on the top twice, and hope someone might have some insight as to what that might mean.

It would seem to me, a real amatuer, that the downhill writing would indicate someone who wasn't used to writing from right to left. The spacing between the individual letters was a bit wide, also, reminding me of the wide spacing that appears in Arabic writing...

I like your analysis. Explains why he would be using '09' for September instead of just 9.

This entire profile is absolute crap and an attempt to
avoid having the bio attacks be construed as enemy
action. Where is the analysis of the Florida anthrax
attack, that preceeded all others? Why is it
excluded? Perhaps because it occurred only a mile or
so from where the hijackers lived?

There is a clear preference by the FBI to maintain its own
no doubt supplemental funding by avoiding a label be put
on these events that implies "warfare". When it's
warfare, DoD gets that funding. There is empire protecting
going on here.
