Remember, she was the one who suggested in summer 2001 that a scientist might have to spread anthrax to create enough people who would take the threat seriously and pass the treaty she was pushing. She probably knew even then of talk in her community of doing just such a thing.

I thought all along that it was someone within her organization or on the fringes of it who were the likeliest suspects. She probably knows what she knows more from the criminal side than from the govt side. Note her ant-govt spin.

This also fits the fact that Dems were targeted and warned to get treated, since they were the ones who needed to be activated. Also, Leahy was a leader of the Judiciary Committee, who had to approve the treaty that she and her group was pushing. It all fits together so nicely!

Actually, Cheney and his staff were put on Cipro on September 11 (see, for example, Low on the Food Chain). Either Saddam made a direct threat, through channels, or the whole scenario had been wargamed beforehand. The latter seems quite likely. After all, the way events have unfolded -- Saddam sponsors massive terror attack in revenge for Gulf War et seq, backed up with the threat of anthrax to deter US retaliation -- is simply the unfolding of a rather predictable scenario, given the personalities and capabilities of the players involved.

Interesting possibility. Of course, it's equally if not more likely that the perp figured a good anthrax scare would increase funding for the government/military biowar program he worked for.
