Yes. He WAS convincing wasn't he? As much as I'm angered by the evil possibly (most probably) perpetrated on this man by the feds ... I'm even more enraged by the stumbling, bumbling idocy of the FBI. Morons. Just MORONS.

Are you delusional? They aren't saying that a nutcase made it in his garage. They are looking at 30 scientists.

And the real guilty party is going to turn out to be...?Whoever the government needs it to be. Iraqi operatives? Taliban operatives? Al-qaeda operatives? Right-wing paramilitaries angry at Leahy and Daschle for blocking Bush's judicial appointments?
Take your pick--the evidence is being manufactured as I type. However, I think the more likely scenario is a government exercise gone dreadfully wrong, like TWA 800. Otherwise, it would have already been offered as further justification for the War on [fill in the blank].

The FBI should hire Hatfill as their spokesman. At
least he sounds like he's telling the truth.

Why exactly would the FBI do what you are claiming?
To: blau993
Actually, he said he hasn't been able to confirm that there is a Greendale school there. He didn't say definatively that there isn't one there.

I have a more sinister view. Ashcroft et al. know exactly what happened and it's so politically explosive, they're covering it up. I follow the "Ashcroft et al know" but with a different scenario, and one I've seen others suggest here. It's highly possible IMHO that the U.S. Gov can link this to Iraq but doesn't want to tip Saddam that they know until the balloon is about to go up. If Saddam knew that the U.S. knew it would give him the perfect excuse in his mind to start causing major mischief now. Methinks there's a whole lot of evidence linking him to the events of last September but the government doesn't want to tip its hand just yet. Recall that one of the 9/11 hijackers supposedly visited a doctor in the time before the attacks and while the physician didn't pick up on it initially, after the fact (after the attacks) he came out and voiced his suspicion. After all, who was thinking of Anthrax back then?
I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of things that were "denied" immediately following 9/11 (like the Czech meeting with Attah) crop back up with "new" evidence. There's a big game of chess going on and Bush is writing the rules to suit the strategy. Smart, IMHO. Keeps things on our timetable, not Saddam's. Besides, the finger pointing at Iraq was so quick after 9/11 that I really think we know something that has been carefully shielded from the public's eye.
Just some thoughts...

A "readiness exercise" gone dreadfully wrong? Deliberate acts by someone high enough and public enough that he is able to use the political fallout as blackmail?
Uhm, what are you talking about? A "readiness exercise" that involves mailing anthrax to people? huh?
To: mercy
I was thinking the exact thing about Richard when I read your thoughts. Of course, he was the guilty one and his life ruined by those thugs.

Why exactly would the FBI do what you are claiming?Why would anybody ever stall a blackmailer?
To: ItisaReligionofPeace
Oh I see. All thirty of em are in a conspiracy and they have a modern weapons lab hidden away some where?!
Ya gotta read between the lines. The whole scenario presented by the FBI ... the profile ... the theory of the crime they have pushed so hard ... CAN ONLY point to one man, a 'deranged right wing nut'.
THIS is nuts. This finely milled anthrax is unlike anything ever seen by anybody on our side before. Or the Russians. Obviously state sponsored terrorism.
No I am not delusional and namecalling is the mark of a poor debater and someone not worthy of this board.

To: mercy
On his computer, officials found the draft of a novel about a bioterrorism attack. So is the FBI also investigating Tom Clancy for his possible role in 9/11? Talk about circumstantial evidence concocted from thin air.
To: mitchbert
It's highly possible IMHO that the U.S. Gov can link this to Iraq but doesn't want to tip Saddam that they know until the balloon is about to go up. I agree, your scenerio is plausible. But why would the FBI fabricate a "suspect" at this point? It seems to me they could just stick with the "we haven't a clue" theory of the past nine months.

But why would the FBI fabricate a "suspect" at this point?In a few days you'll see this in long-shot. Then you'll see that they didn't so much fabricate a suspect as shoot down a theory. Very publicly. This is shifting the scenery for what is going to happen next.

FBI UNWILLING TO CLEAR HATFILL
Well, will they at least clean up their old trenchcoat disposal site?
To: mitchbert
Pretty good thoughts at that. I'd desperately like to think you are right. This would indeed be reason enough for the CIA to plant Hatfil. Sadam's chess players are working overtime no doubt.

It's been that way for a very long time. When was the last time any American felt more, rather than less freedom across a lifetime? I fear it's going to be very painful to retrace.

This dude did screw up the situation with a fair mix of false resume information. Apparently, he was 'fired' from the lab job, and quickly found work with SAIC. The company never checked out why he was let go from the lab, nor did they check out alot of the resume bogus info. At the very least, he is simply general nutcase who screwed up on building his resume. But he also presents too many little unanswered questions. And let us not forget...his parents live in Florida....only an hour away from where the original case of Anthrax started out. This does pose several interesting questions.
