Thanks. It just keeps going on and on and on and on. It's like a federal government corruption template. I mean, the FBI just now decides to check Atta's car and residence for the presence of the deadly bacterium. If it wasn't so serious, it would make me laugh.
FBI (Federal Bureau of Incompetence) at it again
FBI Testing Atta's Car, Residence, for Anthrax

In response to reports that the FBI had overlooked leads tying Twin Towers kamikaze hijacker Mohamed Atta to the recent wave of anthrax attacks on the U.S., the bureau now plans to test Atta's rental car and Florida residence for the presence of the deadly bacterium.
The decision to probe a possible Atta anthrax connection, first reported by Fox News Channel late Saturday, comes after a report last week that the FBI had specifically declined to sweep Atta's car and home for traces of the bioterror agent.
"In Florida, agents haven't tested cars or residences used by some of the hijackers, including those of Mohamed Atta," the Wall Street Journal revealed Thursday. "FBI officials said testing isn't a priority, because they assume that by now, the hijackers' cars and apartments would have been cleaned, removing any trace of anthrax."
"At this time, there are no plans to go back and check [Atta's car and apartment] for traces of anthrax," Special Agent Rene Salinas told the paper just four days ago.
The FBI has previously tested Atta's other personal effects, such as clothing he left behind, for anthrax traces.
Weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks, Atta and several of his fellow hijackers were spotted at Florida airfields inquiring about renting cropdusting airplanes, a move investitigators suspect may have been linked to bioterrorism.
Atta was also reportedly spotted in a Florida pharmacy with reddened hands, a symptom some say could have been caused by anthrax contamination.

I had heard this "report" and found it as unbelievable as them blaming a US right wing "hate group".
I have had the feeling that they really didnt want to know the truth..

The fatal error the US government made was prosecuting Ramzi Yousef as a mere criminal instead of looking into whether he was a state back terrorist. At this point, it doesn't appear the current administration wants Iraq to be involved, so this connection will continue to be dismissed as mere speculation.
Remember, Sadam isn't Satan until our government reissues it's fatah declaring him as the worst evil on the planet. Until such edict, please stay focused on the Taliban. (/sarcasim)

I agree. I hate to see this site become a bigger govt./'at least it's not clinton' site. I also noticed that you seemed to be fighting alone on some threads. You aren't alone.

"In January 1995, Yousef and his associates plotted to blow up eleven U.S. commercial aircraft in one spectacular day of terrorist rage."

Interesting. for one, shows, again, that the FBI is not interested much in the whole turth, but winning percentage of court room victories.
