FBI responds to editorial "The Anthrax Metaphor" previously published in the Post.

I'll probqably see this on "Cold Case Files" about 10 years from now.

"one of the largest, most complex investigations ever conducted by law enforcement"

Sounds like gvt, No?

They don't mention that they've steadfastly ignored the obvious suspects (foreign terrorists) and focused instead exclusively on a domestic source. The WSJ used to harp on that every once in a while.

Wonder what's up behind the scenes on this one?

Anthrax spores remain viable as long as this case will ...

[Shermy]

Mason is the fellow who took over the investigation after the "Science" magazine article came out. Change in command just a random coincidence?

They, and I, believe this case will be solved.

Around the time that we find Osama's Pakistani spider-hole maybe.

like the f.b.i. investigation of randy weaver, the Murrah building, the N.Y. jetliner shoot down, etc. etc. etc.
Don't have a lot of confidence in the f.b.i.

All I have to say is that the anthrax attacks coinciding with 9/11 is no coincidence. ..Gulf Breeze is no stranger to Islamist extremists.

By the way, it turns out that good old Barbara Hatch Rosenberg is still peddling her wacky conspiracy theories about the anthrax, and is actually still slandering Hatfill, though she's at least smart enough not to mention him by name nowadays. I found this little doozy earlier this morning that had slipped my attention at

McKinney's panel drums up more Sept. 11 conspiracy theories

JEFFREY McMURRAY

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Rep. Cynthia McKinney was involved Friday in a new series of conspiracy theories concerning the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but this time she let others do most of the talking.

The Georgia Democrat hosted a forum at the Congressional Black Caucus' legislative conference entitled, "The 9/11 Omission: What the Commission Got Wrong." Most of her panelists had written books on the attacks, some of which accuse the Bush administration of a coverup if not actually being coconspirators alongside al Qaeda.

McKinney, who four years ago made controversial remarks on a radio talk show that Bush had prior warning of the attacks and profited by them, was mostly silent this time. However, she nodded vigorously as many of the panelists spoke and concluded one panel by signaling her agreement with some of the charges.

"We had four significant failures on one day of a trillion-dollar military and intelligence infrastructure," McKinney said. "I don't think that is certainly a possible thing to have happened. It's quite a coincidence, if it is."

One of the speakers, David Ray Griffin, labeled as "a 571-page lie" a report produced by an independent commission that investigated the events leading up to the attacks. Griffin's most recent book, "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions," suggest there must have been pre-planted explosives inside the World Trade Center to topple the steel towers after the airplanes hit.

Another author, Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, suggested a Pentagon initiative may have been complicit in the anthrax attacks on Washington several months after Sept. 11, 2001. She also suggested a former government worker the FBI has targeted for years may indeed have been involved.

Former Army scientist Steven Hatfill was once labeled as a "person of interest" in the investigation, but Rosenberg refused to say whether she meant him because of legal concerns.

Damn, guess what buddy, I know who you are! Not just your many previous incarnations under which you've previously been banned, such as Princeton, Anthrax-Profiler, Sanchito, and Van Der Walls, just to name a few. I even know your real name now, Dan Moldea. You left just a little bit too much of a trail I'm afraid.

I visited your web site. You're really some kind of piece of work, that's for sure. Left-wing doesn't even begin to cover it!
