How does a letter mailed from Pakistan implicate the Pakistani government? If that were the case, would the several anthrax-laced letters mailed in the United States implicate the U.S. government? Don't succumb to bad logic, please.
You're operating on a self-manufactured premise. Nothing I've said (or as far as I can see, pumacan said), relies on such a premise.
There does seem to be a Pakistani connection (and no, no FReeper likely can PROVE it, all we can do is speculate with the evidence we have - such as it is).
And yes, I'm going to continue to feel free to speculate on FR about the connection I see, and that is that Pakistanis living in the U.S., particularly in Trenton/Hamilton NJ, are strongly implicated in the anthrax mailings.
Several persons there have been detained, at least one arrested. Apartments there have been raided by agents wearing HazMat suits. There is a connection between these detainees and some of the suspects in the September 11 attacks. Perhaps you do not know about these reports?
If the strain and grade of anthrax mailed in Pakistan turns out to be the same as that mailed here, I think it would be highly imprudent of the U.S. government NOT to suspect Pakistani involvement, out of too high regard for political correctness or tortured "logic."
It doesn't. Would require more proof. What we have is a Pakistani suspect whom we cannot find in the Trenton mailings and at least one mailing from Pakistan. I think the chances of the anthrax coming from a government lab are more likely than from a individual or private group.
