If the FBI were truly interested in finding and apprehending the “Anthrax Killer,” they’d be investigating Philip Zack, a Jewish American

Ah! So, that's your game. You're one of those people who thinks Dr. Zack is Jewish, and therefore he must have done it as part of the Great Jewish Conspiracy.

In reality, of course, Dr. Zack is a CATHOLIC. He was a member of the St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Zanesville, Ohio, when he got married in July of 1974.

Plus, he was living and working in Colorado at the time of the mailings. And the attack anthrax was made from a batch of spores that didn't exist when Zack worked at USAMRIID. There is NOTHING that ties the anthrax mailings to Dr. Zack.

The idea that Dr. Zack is the anthrax mailer is just one of the more STUPID ideas around. It has NO basis in reality.

"Ah! So, that's your game."

"If the FBI were truly interested in finding and apprehending the “Anthrax Killer,” they’d be investigating Philip Zack, a Jewish American that once worked at Fort Detrick Maryland and was caught red handed diverting anthrax spores several years prior to 9-11 and later writing an anonymous letter attempting to implicate or frame an Egyptian American scientist by the name of Dr. Ayaad Assaad."

Fort Detrick's anthrax mystery

Who tried to frame Dr. Ayaad Assaad, a former biowarfare researcher at the Army lab? Was it the same person responsible for last fall's anthrax mail terrorism? By Laura Rozen

“The Rhyme of the Ancient Camellier”

“In particular, Assaad, who is Egyptian-American, was the target of the group of USAMRIID scientists and lab technicians who called themselves the Camel Club. Among his antagonists were colleagues in Fort Detrick lab’s experimental pathology division, Zack and Rippy.

Using a stuffed camel as a kind of mascot, the Camel Club composed a poem, “The Rhyme of the Ancient Camellier,” with the apparent purpose of humiliating Assaad. It begins:

“Ayaad Assaad was the start,
with a reputation for not having heart
A ‘skimmer’ without equal
We hope there’s no sequel
In his honor we created this beast
It represents life lower than yeast
Whoever is voted this sucker,
you can’t duck her, You must accept blame,
And bear all the shame Unlike Assaad,
that first motherfucker”

The poem continues for five typewritten rhyming pages, ending with:

Well it’s time for the camel to pass.
So let’s all reach and raise up a glass.
Let’s give’m the credit,
the one who will get it,
the poor bastard we’re gonna harass.

Assaad theorizes that the Camel Club and the racial discrimination he experienced were at least partly an outgrowth of a dispute he had with Zack and Rippy over the authorship of a scientific paper for which he says he had done the research. Rippy and Zack, Assaad says, had done only minor work, but wanted to put their names on the research paper, and he says he felt they didn’t deserve it. Assaad says the dispute escalated, with Rippy and Zack threatening to be disruptive and humiliate him at a scientific conference where he delivered his paper’s findings. Then, he says, their harassment took an ethnic cast, because of his Arabic heritage.”
