Hatfill isn't part of it, rest assured.

The Tourist Guy?

No, but Bert knows who did it.

Do you understand that it is finely milled and weaponized? If you do, it shouldn't be so hard for you to understand that someone who has access to these materials could have stolen some...

I thought the big mystery was that the stuff was actually too good to be US made. Also, carbon 14 dating has established that the sample was enspored less than two years ago, and the US has been out of the weaponization business for several decades now. So, how can you be sure that Dr. Taha and her team didn't score some sort of weaponization break thru?

I would say the FBI has to have as the most possible scenario that: the anthrax "stealer and/or maker"(s) are dead, it was distributed to the mailers by Atta who know nothing of the source of the Anthrax.

If the FBI quits looking, they're damned and if they continue, they're damned.

Isn't that what the terrorists just love??

Well, I live on Greendale Drive and 5 schools are close by.....hold a sec....damn, just washed tin of Timber Wolf with clothes. Anyone know if Tide washing detergent is poison, urgent?

[lwoodham]

Hurry peeps, I may need an antidote.

"...and the US has been out of the weaponization business for several decades now."

You make these statements with authority. How in the hell do you know that the U.S. has been out of the weaponization business for several decades? Do you have ANY evidence to support your ridiculous statements? If the U.S.has not been making anthrax, and if the carbon dating shows the Anthrax to be new (can you support this claim), why would the FBI even waste their time looking at these U.S. scientists. The FBI is far from perfect, but they aren't this incompetent. You are simply missing a few cards from your deck...

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

You're right. I stand no chance against an intellectual heavyweight such as yourself. I'm sure it requires great intelligence to understand your rambling and quite incohesive statements.

I'll tell you what it's gonna teach you. You're just about through around here. You are consistently abusive and nasty to everyone you disagree with. Your type is not needed in FR. You are degrading this board. We've all seen people like you come and go by the hundreds. Take your hate somewhere else.

Um...false, not even close. Way out there. Care to cite a source?

Anthrax is a living bacteria. Its natural habitat is not the lab; it is the farm.

I would venture that an industrious semi-educated biologist could culture it from the dirt on a farm where cattle had recently contracted the disease, which would not be that hard to figure out.

knock it off.
