She now invokes the lefty bugaboo "CIA." Nooo.... she doesn't have an agenda at all!
And just where did the Fort Detrick stuff come from. Why must it be the focus? I bet any lab has such security and loony problems. So what?
Glory girl, this is BBC anti-American spin. Generic quotes of scientists refering to some individual or group are interspersed with quotes about rogue agents and now CIA by the ax-grinding activist crowd. There's also interesting stuff here two, but IMO harmed by cites to Rosenberg. She has changed her speculations and I would think be the last person anybody in the govt. would contact.
Anthrax by mail is not a big secret. Jeez, there's spy novels on the stuff, just as with crashing planes into buildings.
But who knows? If we look to a one American scientist theory could it be...Ms. Rosenberg herself???
What does this sentence mean? Just wondering!
Bump for the rest of your post.
The individual who mailed the anthrax letters is named Allah Rakah, and he was arrested by the FBI in Hamilton Township, NJ, on November 2, 2001. In accordance with the DOJ's new anti-terrorist measures, Rakah has been held in custody without charge ever since. Judging by the Florida plates on Rakah's car, the fact that the first victim of the anthrax worked at the office of the 9/11 hijackers' landlord, and the fact that Mohammed Atta sought treatment for reddened, possibly bleached hands in the run-up to the destruction of the World Trade Center, it is reasonable to infer that the letters were prepared by Atta, for the purpose of communicating a threat to the US government after the latter's death in the suicide attacks. As to the ultimate provenance of the anthrax, that is most likely Iraq, inasmuch as (1) Atta is known to have liaised directly with the Iraqi government during the preparation for the attacks, (2) Iraq is the only hostile nation known to have succeeded in weaponizing anthrax, (3) Iraq is the only nation to harbor an indicted conspirator in the 1993 attemt to destroy the WTC, (4) Iraq is the only nation to have officially endorsed Osama bin Laden and the destruction of the WTC, and (5) Saddam Hussein has an obvious motive for deploying anthrax in a deterrent mode, as opposed to a purely terroristic mode, unlike his ally in the WTC attack, Osama bin Laden.Incidentally, the reason Cheney and his staff were put on Cipro the night of 9-11 is not because the White House antipicated that a rogue "Beltway Bandit" contractor entrusted with weapons grade anthrax in a secret CIA experiment to see if anthrax could be sent through the mail might have hidden away a secret stash of anthrax just in case Islamic terrorists decided to destroy the World Trade Center. It was because the most likely state sponsor of this most complex and successful terrorist attack in history is obviously Saddam Hussein, and he is known to have manufactured vast quantities of anthrax. Like, duh, it doesn't get much more straightforward than that.
Actually it hasn't, but there have been a slew of articles trying to lead you to think that. The only genetic identification that has been made of the anthrax is that it is of the Ames strain. That information was released publicly as long ago as October of last year, and tells us nothing about the provenance of the anthrax, since anybody could have the Ames strain by now.

I don't think so. You signed up years before this forum was founded?
