We've heard of Bob Stevens, Leahy and Daschle...
This is the earliest case I could find of anthrax contamination via deliberate means.
At first its seemed Bill Clinton was the guy behind this scandal....
On the weekend of September 21, 1991, Arkansas State Police Investigator Russell Welch met with IRS Investigator Bill Duncan to write a report on their investigation of Mena drug smuggling and money laundering and send it to Iran-Contra prosecutor Lawrence Walsh. Investigator Welch had been ordered by Major Doug Stephens to meet with Duncan over the weekend in Arkansas Attorney General Winston Bryant's office. Welch had just opened a case concerning the theft of sexually explicit photographs which could have been used to blackmail state officials. On Friday, September 20, Welch went to one of the prisons near Pine Bluff and interviewed the person who had actually taken the photographs, a person whose best friend was very close to Barry Seal. The next morning, Saturday, he and his wife, Debbie Welch, made the three-hour drive to Little Rock.
Returning to Mena on Sunday, Welch told his wife that he didn't feel too well. He thought he had gotten the flu. Monday the symptoms were worse. By Tuesday Welch was certain that he had a serious case of pneumonia. He had had pneumonia before and recognized the symptoms. Tuesday night he could hardly walk and his wife took him to the local hospital. The doctor gave him some over-the-counter cold tablets and sent him home.
But, Welch's condition deteriorated further to the point where his wife took him to another doctor in Mena the next day. Dr. Calleton, a Vietnam vet, immediately called the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and told Welch's wife to get him to Fort Smith immediately. The doctor told her that he should go by ambulance but she might be able to get there faster if she left right then. He called the CDC one more time before they left.
In Fort Smith a team of doctors were waiting. Dr. Calleton had called them twice while Welch was in transport and they had been in contact with the CDC. Later the doctor would tell Welch's wife that he was on the edge of death. He would not have made it through the night had he not been in the hospital. He was having fever seizures by now. ....http://nick.assumption.edu/WebVAX/WWeekly/WW1Apr96Mena.html............ ...................

The Beginning
When a C-123K military cargo plane crashed in Nicaragua on October 5, 1986 with weapons and CIA employees on board, it unraveled what became known as the Iran-Contra scandal. The weapons were supplied by the CIA and destined for the Nicaraguan Contras in possible violation of the Congressional Boland amendments. Special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh spent six years determining who in the Reagan administration was involved in the operation. Among the prime operatives were George Bush, Oliver North, Dewey Clarridge, John Pointdexter and Caspar Weinberger.
What few people considered at the the time, however, was that the training of pilots and loading of weapons took place at the little town of Mena in Arkansas. Nobody asked about the involvement of the governor of Arkansas. Today, that governor is President of the United States, and people have started asking what involvement, if any, Bill Clinton had in the Iran Contra operation.

Bizzarro to the max...Then the trail lead back to the CIA...
The neo-cons tried to pin this scandal on Clinton, but that story faded as the CIA came increasingly under scrutiny. Somebody dug to far! :bounce:
Here's a story on that:
Conservative billionaire funded secret investigation of Clinton's alleged drug connections.
BY MURRAY WAAS | Conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife secretly paid more than $250,000 to two law firms and a former Mississippi law enforcement official to investigate allegations that President Clinton, while governor of Arkansas, ordered local law enforcement authorities to protect the activities of a cocaine smuggling ring operating in his state.
The investigation was part of a broader, three-year, $2.4 million anti-Clinton campaign funded by Scaife from June 1993 to December 1997, known...
