3. The anthrax was an inside job gone awry.
When postal workers and ordinary citizens started dying, it had to stop and it did. As for who did it, I'm confident Cheney knows.

This would certainly be worthy of investigation by the Democratic Congress.

4. Because it was a republican who was also senior bioweapon specialist ?
note the special use of the Fox-News "Question Mark"®

7. actually the anthrax mailer is known to the authorities
Edited on Mon Nov-13-06 01:50 AM by TheBaldyMan
and my previous post is not a million miles away from the truth.

There is only one country that has managed to 'weaponize' anthrax - the USA, the genetic fingerprint of the anthrax was a strain that was originated at a (secret) bioweapons facility in the USA that only had a handful of people with access to that particular strain.

A certain RW nut that was a senior technican at the original site repeatedly tried to get an Arab-American citizen investigated by the FBI (for having brown skin).

8. I can see
that the question will likely be on the table again now.
Hope I'm never on the same plane as that person.

6. The Unibomber
was only finally caught because his brother turned him in.

It's just hard to do, catching someone who sends stuff in the mail.

9. False Comparison, but Good Point.
The Unabomber used untraceable, off-the-shelf parts. The Anxrax killer did not. False comparison.
