The 2nd Germsman
The Anthrax attacks following 9/11 have always disturbed me. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but it was odd that Shrubya put a bumbling fool on the case who smeared the wrong guy (who ended up getting a bunch of our taxpayer money in recompense), then put a team on it that has dragged it out for years. Then, on the eve of getting grand jury approval to start a trial, the key suspect of the new investigation mysteriously commits suicide – amidst revelations that he was a known nut-jub.
To top it off, Senator Patrick Leahy just came out to say that he believes the anthrax terrorist didn’t act alone:”:
If he is the one who sent the letter, I do not believe in any way, shape or manner that he is the only person involved in this attack on Congress and the American people,” Leahy told FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III at a hearing yesterday. “I believe there are others involved, either as accessories before or accessories after the fact. I believe that there are others who can be charged with murder.”
Great, now we’re gonna be stuck with decades of Conspiracy Nuts writing books and creating documentaries about ‘the 2nd Germsman’ on the grassy knoll. Me? While I doubt there was a real conspiracy behind the attacks, I am quite convinced that the Cheney Shrubya Administration cynically used the attacks to increase public, media & Congressional fear in order to sell their crazy wars, and more…purposefully put the “B Team” on the case to drag it out beyond the point where anybody but conspiracy nuts would remember it (not hard here in the U.S.).
Stumble it!

wonder why the germer selected only targets appearing, on the surface at least, to be from one, shall we say, philosophy in the political spectrum?

Remember, the Bush Doctrine provides for pre-emptive strikes on countries which use or harbor people who may use weapons of mass destruction.

I do not understand how he got the anthrax, in a plain white evelope, from the lab to a mail box and the only people to get sick were postal workers and the recipients.
