She said the evidence points to a person who has experience handling anthrax; who has been vaccinated and has received annual booster shots; and who had access to classified government information about how to chemically treat the bacterial spores to keep them from clumping together, which allows them to remain airborne.
Plausible. As far as it goes. But it does not exmplain how the anthrax letters seemed to follow Mohammed Atta and the hijackers around, or why they were mailed from locations near large Arab populations. As for being vaccinated, the alternative is that the anthrax was mailed by someone who wasn't planning on staying around long enough to get sick.

Her comments also don't really explain how the woman from the Bronx and the woman from Connecticut died from anthrax, at least as far as I can speculate from the information she provided. Did this "potential suspect" also travel to NY & CT? And while other authorities have stated these 2 anthrax death cases resulted from possible cross contamination, they have never offered any proof to back up their theory just the same.

Anyone capable of making weaponized anthrax is also capable of making his or her own vaccine.

The vaccine is not that rare. People who travel or who work with animals or animal products like hides can get it, not just 'military people.'

"Plausible. As far as it goes."

Yes, isn't it?

The fly in the domestic terrorist theory, though, is the first letter -- the one that went to American Media in West Palm Beach.

The person Rosenberg describes may conceivably be responsible for the Daschle, Leahy and TV network letters. But, whence National Enquirer...???

On the other hand, the entire mailing list is consistent with an al-Qaeda terrorist.
