Anthrax

[Alex]

Maybe I'm missing something, but assuming that there is a government conspiracy here, what are you saying it is?

I don't see how the Bush administration trying to pin it on Al Qaeda would lead to them ultimately pinning it on one of our people. And if they really did want to pin it on Al Qaeda it doesn't seem to me that they certainly should have been able to do a better job of it than open ended statements about "the dots start to add up."

So I'm curious what conspiracy you are seeing and what the goal of it was that it lead to framing this guy?

Really, the only thing I'm trying to suggest is that the official case just doesn't make sense to me. I'm not trying to suggest any specific conspiracy, just trying to figure out why there seem to be a lot more questions than answers.

I have yet to see anything that convinces me that this guy did it. His co-workers say that he couldn't have done it, not with the equipment that he had access to. The guy is a upstanding member of his church, a family man who loves his work and has been recognized by congress for his outstanding work in his field. And yet, shortly after the worst terrorist attack on American soil, he decides that he is going to attempt to kill a whole new bunch of innocent Americans, simply for monetary reasons. So, all by his lonesome, he sends out a bunch of notes which make him look Islamic.

Meanwhile, ABC is being told that there is no doubt that it is an Iraqi strain. Everyone from Bush to Cheney to McCain is subtly suggesting that it could be the Iraqis or another Islamic terrorist group. And yet, while they are doing this, it is clear from those investigating that it is American. Years before they finally get around to charging the right guy, they falsely accuse someone else, and even though they now suspect a new guy (Ivins,) they let him keep his security clearance and access to all that anthrax. And, when it comes time to charge him, they let him know ahead of time. Is that SOP? Doesn't seem like it would be, for flight reasons.

See, most criminal cases seem pretty cut and dry. All of the pieces make sense when put together. Here, you put all the pieces together and it just leads to more questions. My feelings here are nothing but pure gut feeling and I'm probably coming off as more of a kook than I would prefer, but I hate when things don't add up. I hate when there are all sorts of loose ends. And worst, I hate to see a man commit suicide, which very well may have been a combination of depression and increasing pressure, and have the suicide be used as proof that he committed a very evil act. The act that supposedly he didn't have the equipment to do. Nope, I don't like cases like that.
