No, the US-based operatives were Salafist, and not communist.
Given that operational security would require that no one was involved other than those whose technical skills were needed, any antiwar activist would have been superfluous and unaware of what had been done.
The communists you imagine under your bed don’t even know the Salafists.
Maybe they haven't seen them in years, but they sure as heck don't want to be questioned about them.
I think the folks attacking Hatfill jumped the gun ~ they didn't need to be involved at all.
Concerning Palestinian Commies, they exist. Many of them live here and NOT there.
Moreover, the antiwar activists have been duped into supporting the Salafists.
Al-Timimi, for example, was staunchly against peace — he translated and agreed with the writing of the Egyptian deep thinker who opposed the Camp David Accord, adopting the blind sheik’s position that no peace with Israel is acceptable.
Invading Iraq, unfortunately, just played right into Zawahiri’s and al-Hawali’s PR. GMU microbiologist Al-Timimi arranged to have a letter from al-Hawali warning of the consequences of invading Iraq hand-delivered to every member of Congress on the first anniversary of the anthrax letters to Senator Daschle and Leahy. Mr. Seikaly would have received regular briefings on the investigation of GMU microbiologist Al-Timimi, who was in computational biology in the bioinformatics program there sponsored by the American Type Culture Collection.
