From yesterday's
WSJ:
Another anthrax clue also deserves to be more widely known: In October 2002, the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm made an official request of the Swedish Foreign Ministry to provide "appropriate" means for "the early detection of anthrax." The request was also for "protection methods from anthrax and types of methods, procedures and equipment to be used for decontamination." Iraq made a similar request at the time to the Japanese and Finns.

I wonder why they were inquiring about how to protect from it. Do they think we will attack them with Anthrax? Or perhaps they want to know in case they mistakenly hurt their own with it? The latter is my best bet. I also wonder if Finland waited till now to come forward with this info or if the UK and USA intel were just holding it back?

``One wonders, whether it was intended simply for propaganda or similar purposes,'' he added. Just a message from the Mano Nera.

The first thing I thought while reading this is that Iraq wants to look innocent regarding Anthrax...look like they know nothing about how it works. Just my opinion, but perhaps President Bush knows that Iraq was behind our anthrax attacks, Saddam got word of this and is doing a little CYA work here. No problem, the media will now take the side of Saddam if Bush nails him on the anthrax attacks in America.

FYI.

The request also concerned ``ways of protecting against anthrax, as well as methods, procedures and equipment needed for decontamination,'' the tabloid said. Iraq has had anthrax for YEARS and most everyone knows it. As someone said in an earlier post, maybe this is supposed to make Iraq look as pure as the wind driven snow. Somehow, I don't think it's gonna work, except with the French and Germans, of course.

Now why would they do that? (HEAVY SARCASM)

The Iraqi Embassy in Helsinki sought information about anthrax from the foreign ministry in October, Finnish media reported Saturday.This is just like the Japanese statement of a couple of weeks ago that Japan had supposedly lost or misplaced some plutonium. You can't take these statements at face value. The Japanese statement was directed at North Korea, and it was a reminder to North Korea that the Japanese not only have plutonium, they have so much plutonium that they may have accounting errors bigger than North Korea's entire stockpile.
With Iraq, it's the same story. They're reminding the world what they have, just in case somebody might have forgotten.

If that ain't a smoking gun, there's no such thing in the world.
