8. Actually it was *two* lone gunmen.. |
|
Steven Hatfill first, they were _sure_ he had done it..
Then it was Bruce Ivins, now they're _sure_ he did it.
But of course to disbelieve the government story is to be a conspiracy theorist.. :eyes:

13. The Federal Bureau of Invention says the science proves it |
|
Edited on Sat Sep-11-10 11:45 AM by EFerrari
but I still can't find a single scientist who doesn't work for them who agrees with them. In fact, their rockstar expert consultant said publicly that science alone couldn't prove the case. lol

5. There was a good Atlantic Monthly article on it (link) |
|
Edited on Sat Sep-11-10 11:28 AM by dawgman
a few months ago. It detailed the destruction of the original suspects life and the subsequent pinning of the attacks on a dead guy. Pretty good article. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/05/the-wrong-man/8019/

10. No one is going to convince me it was not a right wing hate group |
|
ALL the people the envelopes were addressed to were Democrats or left leaning individuals. Tom Dashcle...who the republicans pulled out all the stops and all the money and all the poopaganda to get him out of office. He took no crap from them. Then Dan Rather who was one reporter who also didn't take crap from republicans. And that guy in Florida. I don't know which right wing group it was but I would not put anything pass the bunch of radical republicans.

20. If so, then why did they quit doing it? |
|
Obviously, they proved they were able to get away with it. Why wouldn't they have tried again when we had a Democratic Congress, and President Obama? If they felt threatened in 2001, why were they so calm in 2009?

6. They got their man. Too bad Dr. Ivins is too dead to talk about it. Come to think about it, that's |
|
been an occupational hazard for bio-warfare researchers, worldwide. They make very unreliable witnesses.

17. Which investigative reporters? |
|
I assume you were referring to David Kelly under the British weapons experts. But, what investigative reporter with a 9/11 connection has died mysteriously?

14. The USPS has since installed air filtering devices into their high-speed |
|
mail sorting machinery that can detect microscopic anthrax spores that could become airborne upon a envelope, flat, or package being squeezed, bumped, tumbled, or compressed and emitting them. Upon detection the emergency system will sound alarms and the postal employees in the building are to be orderly evacuated, remove their clothing and then be decontaminated inside specially outfitted and equipped emergency vehicles.
Of course that system does nothing to protect the postal workers and carriers who collect the mail during the day, and drop it off at their post offices, and then their POs ship it via trucks to their local processing centers later in the evening.

16. How appropriate that the federal govenrment would install anthrax detectors... |
|
...after all, the weaponized anthrax was federal in origin.
