Who was responsible for the Anthrax attacks?
There has to be some prevailing theory by now, anyone know what it is?

1. Oh you just hush, now.
There's no need to be bringing up what's already been dead and buried in the public eye.

2. Great question. Our esteemed
protectors here in the US are doing a bang-up job, aren't they? There was a suspect, or person of 'interest', (I wonder what ever happened to him?) but I guess it didn't pan out. No, I've heard nothing about the minds that sent that Anthrax. As a skeptic, how would that be for a diversion?

3. You know, nobody has talked about that for at least a year or so
The quiet surrounding this story since the original firestorm a couple of years ago is rather odd, isn't it? I mean, we've heard bits and pieces, a little evidence suggesting this theory or that one, but there's really been nothing at all for at least a year.

10. All we know about what happened is in the following article
"Why I think Bush is the Anthrax Terrorist"

http://www.newsgarden.org/columns/anthrax/anthraxterrorist.shtml

All the pieces we have are there, along with a lot of suppositions, some wild and some not so wild.

4. It depends on who you ask, but the anthrax
itself either came from Ft. Dietrich or from the Proving Grounds in Utah.

There is another weird story about microbiologists being murdered in the weeks following the attack.

Here's a good link to one timeline.

5. I think this might be the key to bringing down the Bush...
Why? Because someone conected must know something... It is always ignored. Bush and Cheney don't talk about the Anthrax terrorists. The media hardly mentions this once huge story. There's got to be a reason...

8. It is just like it never happened,
when it is a perfect issue for exploitation to transfer wealth to their chorines, yet nada. Strange.

6. The guy who was the "person of interest" has a suit against
Asskroft, if I recall correctly. I have no idea what the status is. I think I heard this on the radio or read it somewhere here, but for the life on me cannot find a link to anything. Of course, remembering the guy's name might help!

9. I thought it was Rove from the get go...."we have this anthrax see..."
take penicillin now. How nice of the terrorist to tell their victims how to avoid death. Sort of like telling a cop to put on his vest before you shoot.

I actually laughed when I saw the note.

I also laughed out loud when I heard Gannon ask a question. I had no idea at the time who he was but I said to myself.."I guess he got his check". Little did I know...

15. It's out there.
Quite true. And Cipro is not recommended as a preventative therapy, either. So were they in the presence of anthrax and got themselves contaminated?

Hey, it just dawned on me......remember that pretzel problem Bush had? I wonder if he anthrax'd himself accidently?

I never did understand why the terrorists went after the Democratic Senate leader and the media....you'd think they'd have gone after the Republicans in power.

I would like to know the case status with the FBI, though. I mean, they figured out the identities of 19 foreign hi-jackers in 2 days, but can't find the source who stole the anthrax from a secure weapons lab?

23. Remeber the big story about arresting that American who was
going to make a dirty bomb? They pulled Ashcroft out of a meeting in Russia to say they had arrested this guy 3 months before and had saved the US from the likes of him. The media spent a week talking about dirty bombs and what happens when one goes off.

That was the day this piece of information came out. About 2 years ago I think.

18. First victim of Anthrax was the tabloid publisher who printed THIS picture


Think the Bushes might have been a little bit upset to see the girls portrayed in such a way?

24. I had not realized the connection. Just couldn't understand why
al quaeda would go after trash instead of the NYT or WP or whatever. Also, all the letters were sent to Democrats. I think they were trying to get the Patriot act passed and were making sure not one had time to read it. Another result was that the major news sources got the word that anything against the president would result in harm. That is what some people are saying, and is a possibility.

20. Why did the White House go on Cipro Beginning September 11th?
Why did the White House go on Cipro Beginning September 11th?
Were they psychic, or did they know?

---
Nearly a month before the first reported outbreak, White House officials start taking the powerful antibiotic Cipro to treat anthrax. By the end of the year it will be known that the Ames strain of anthrax used in the attacks against Sens. Leahy and Daschle was produced by CIA programs coordinated through Fort Detrick, the Batelle Memorial Institute and the Dugway Proving Ground.

FBI & BUSH ADMINISTRATION SUED OVER ANTHRAX DOCUMENTS

Judicial Watch Wants to Know Why White House Went on Cipro Beginning September 11th

What Was Known and When?
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, said today that it has filed lawsuits against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (“USAMRIID”) and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for those agencies’ failures to produce documents concerning the terrorist anthrax attacks of October 2001, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”).

22. Here's the allegation >>>
A scandal and glamour magazine publishing group, American Media, Inc., headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, reportedly had a picture showing George W. Bush and Victor Ashe, both naked, sex-squirming about in the coffin of the Bonesman "Tomb" at Yale. ( part of an initiation ritual ? ) The picture editor of the publications, Bob Stevens, was the first one in the fall of 2001 to die from breathing in weapons-grade anthrax in an envelope delivered to him. Known to being short-sighted, he held it up closer to his face, breathing in the fatal anthrax spores.
