I know she’s a nice person. I’ve heard that from other people. She can probably bake great coconut cakes and pecan pies, but she drives me nuts with her speculations. She has no idea if this guy has a “student visa” or not, and she has no business telling everyone that he does. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. But saying that he “does”, doesn’t help us solve anything, especially if it turns out that he doesn’t.

Oh, and you know this because...? The problem I have with your profile on Alamo-Girl is that you don't know her, or what she knows either. Then again, when the FBI or other l.e. agencies profiles someone, they don't know any more than you or Alamo-Girl. That's the point of the profile process. I would have thought a big-time (hobby magazine) journalist would know this.

AG is our resident archivist and as such she presents information that is compiled here.

As to the validity of her claims I will put her speculation up against any of the crap the FBI has released lately.

What hasn't been mentioned is that the perp could very easily have access to developed strains and is handling them in a glove box in his home.

My money's on the strain coming from the former Soviet Union or worse from ATCC straight to Iraq. And no, I don't think this was a "right wing" group.

Consider this: Historically poisonings were done by women. And the FBI knows this.

It is clear A-G's synopsis IS speculation. . .and presented as such and is meant to be informative as well as thought provoking. . .

. . .might you be one of those people who would feel better buying a tooth brush if it showed that it had a 'Government seal of approval' stamped on it?

Then why the hell are you camped out on her thread if it bothers you so much? Are you masochistic or are you unhappy unless you're tearing other people down?

Dig deep, here, Fred. She probably drives you nuts because she's so well-respected and well-liked around here and you're not. Maybe if you'd spend less time nit-picking and more time doing something constructive (like r-e-s-e-a-r-c-h), your incessant need for criticizing others would prevent many of us from just skipping over your replies.

The postulate the the guy is on a student visa is no more far fetched than the assertion put forth by the feds that the guy is a passive agressive. Lighten up.
