CIA building case 2001 anthrax attacks were international terror plot

[Angelus Errare]

The CIA has been quietly building a case that the anthrax attacks of 2001 were in fact the result of an international terrorist plot.

U.S. officials with access to intelligence reports tell us the information showing a terrorist link to the anthrax-filled letters sent by mail in the weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks is not conclusive. But it is persuasive.

NEVER FORGET that it was HILLARY who announced, almost immediately after the first Anthrax Attacks in American History, that they were domestic attacks against all her Friends:

-TOM BROKAW
-DAN RATHER
-PETER JENNINGS
-TOM DASCHLE
-TOM LEAHY

Excellent memory!

"Iraq is the ONLY hostile country known to have succeeded in weaponizing anthrax"

Oh, heaven's no! Anthrax has been weaponized by a number of countries since the First World War, when it was used by the Germans on deer that they herded into our troops. Louis Pastuer, however, had invented the first anthrax vaccination back in 1850, however, and since the French were on our side back then anthrax was hardly a problem.

Today, no fewer than Libya, Syria, and North Korea have weaponized anthrax, along with a host of other potentials (states/bio-agents).

*In addition to the countries identified, the Rhodesian government was suspected of using anthrax to kill cattle owned by the rural black population in the 1970s. Adapted from Monterey Institute of International Studies. Agricultural biowarfare: state programs to develop offensive capabilities (see References).

Several countries other than those noted in the table above are suspected of having agricultural bioweapons programs, although the status of these programs is unknown (see References: Monterey Institute of International Studies: Agricultural biowarfare). They include:

• Egypt (anthrax, brucellosis, glanders, psittacosis, Eastern equine encephalitis)
• North Korea (anthrax)
• Syria (anthrax)

"I think my statement still stands ;-)"

Can you not read plain English?

Post #25 CLEARLY shows that North Korea and Syria have anthrax weapons programs, yet *your* statement was that only Iraq had it.

Just precisely *HOW* does your claim still stand?

[mercy]

Nooooooooooo!? Who'd a thunk it?!?!

[polemikos]

Can you not read plain English?

Relax a second, will ya?

I wrote:
"Iraq is the ONLY hostile country known to have succeeded in weaponizing anthrax"

The operative words here are: "only", "hostile" and "known" and "succeeded".

Your chart demonstrates my statement quite clearly.
Your counter examples are only "suspected", but not "known".
The english is quite plain.

Sounds to me like somebody owes Hatfill a big apology.

Not just yet.
