Man, do I resent someone stealing my moniker!!
You know, what no one ever says is that "domestic source" doesn't rule out an immigrant mailing the stuff here in the USA. A lot of the assumptions of the media are based on the idea that "domestic" means native-born. Au contraire.

domestic source
The source of the Anthrax is commonly reported in the news as "domestic." This is so vague as to constitute a true lie. This could be a "spin" of "we haven't linked it to a foreign source" or "we don't want to link it to a foreign source" or "it is the Ames, Iowa strain" or "it was mailed from within the US."
The issue of spin by this administration and the FBI is quite worrisome. Is the White House concerned about widespread panic? Certainly the spinners tend to rush to the microphones quickly to proclaim that some accident wasn't a terror attack. Is the FBI carrying water for the White House, or does it truly see "domestic terror" as the prime culprit? Given the last 10 years of foul-ups by the FBI on the domestic terror front, I suspect the later.
