Professor Francis Boyle on the 2001 Anthrax Attack (audio MP3)
Edited on Tue May-04-10 03:29 PM by JohnyCanuck
Professor Francis Boyle discusses the October 2001 anthrax attack, the technology behind the letter to Senator Daschle, and assesses the case based on his years of expertise with America’s bio-weapons programs, and as an expert who was responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. He discusses possible motivations behind the anthrax attacks, including those held by criminal elements within the US government to foment a police state, and the investigation that never was. Professor Boyle talks about Israel war crimes as crimes against humanity, and more.

3. And Peter B. Collins. I am a fan. Good to hear Boyle mention the destruction of the Ames strains db
shortly after the attack. Deliberate obstruction by someone at the FBI which no one ever mentions.

5. This destruction of the ames strain thing is interesting for sure
Prof. Boyle says that as soon as he learned of the nature of the anthrax used in the letters, he realized it had to come from a US government source and contacted the FBI counterintelligence agent head one Marion "Spike" Bowman to alert him to this fact. Sometime after that the Ames strain was destroyed as you mentioned above, glitch. It then turns out that this Marion "Spike" Bowman was the same agent who stifled the former FBI agent Coleen Rowley's attempt (prior to the 9/11 attack), to get a warrant to search alleged 9/11 terrorist's Moussaoui's computer, which could have turned up evidence of the planned attack. And then for the icing on the cake, Bowman gets a monetary reward of a cash bonus equal to 25% of his salary in 2003, presumably for his "meritorious" service.


Perhaps the most ludicrous moment of the whole Rowley/Moussaoui thing involves Spike Bowman and came on January 10, 2003. As the brilliant 9-11 Timeline on cooperativeresearch.org captures that day eight months after Rowley's letter to Mueller:

January 10, 2003: FBI Director Mueller personally awards Marion (Spike) Bowman with a presidential citation and cash bonus of approximately 25 percent of his salary. {Salon, 3/3/03} Bowman, head of the FBI's National Security Law Unit and the person who refused to seek a special warrant for a search of Zacarias Moussaoui's belongings before the 9/11 attacks, is among nine recipients of bureau awards for “exceptional performance.” The award comes shortly after a 9/11 Congressional inquiry report saying Bowman's unit gave Minneapolis FBI agents “inexcusably confused and inaccurate information” that was “patently false.” {Minneapolis Star-Tribune, 12/22/02}
