The Miss Marple of SUNY/Purchase does no better when it comes to divining an overarching motive for last fall's bacteriological assaults. The deed was done by a Pentagon budget hawk who "must have realized in advance that the anthrax attack would result in the strengthening of U.S. defense and response capabilities," Rosenberg conjectures. "This is not likely to have been a goal of anti-American terrorists."Troublemaker ;-)
LOL! But seriously, this article is one of the least hysterical and most sensible debunkings of the "official" theory that I have read.

I had not noticed the fact that there was an attempt to capitalize nouns, and this is certainly interesting. In addition, another thing that occurred to me regarding the use of block lettering is the fact that people who routinely fill out various "official" papers are encouraged to use such lettering, for the sake of legibility. Official papers such as flight plans and other aviation related forms, for example....
The Trenton Mail Processing Facility is srill full of hot spots, it is very unlikely to ever open again. Currently the Powers That Be seem to be in plan and action disbursing the Trenton workers to other facilities, rather than re-opening or moving that facility into another place. This, of course, ignores the promises flying after the Anthrax attacks were identified and the Trenton facility closed.
The postal workers who came down with the forms of anthrax are now suffering long-term symptoms of various but consistent form.
Aha! NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!
A "What-screen-name-does-she-post-under-here-at-FR?" bump!
This person was a research chemist in explosive ordnance systems. I looked into this a bit when the story first came out, and, as far as I could tell, he has no background in biological weapons or related subjects, just as this article says.
