Actually, I don't think he refiner, either. If you looked at my site at all you would see that I constantly mention two people, and I even have "profiles" for both of them: The "supplier" and the "refiner/mailer". I just abbreviated the term "refiner/mailer" down to "mailer" on this forum for no particular reason. I won't do that again.
Plus, I never said I had any evidence against him. My interest in him is because of the FBI's interest in him - and because of his perfect alibi. I've never mentioned his name anywhere. I've never spoken to the FBI about him.
And I don't recall ever saying there was no silica in the Daschle anthrax. It's fully evident that there was silica or silicon in the anthrax somewhere. The question is whether or not the spores were COATED with silica.
The best experts who have seen the Daschle anthrax - Patrick, Alibek, Meselson - say the spores were NOT coated with anything.
Gary Matsumoto's nonsensical article in Science Magazine uses Richard Spertzel as an "expert". And Spertzel admits he not only doesn't know how the anthrax was made, he says he would require a staff of scientists and a year to figure it out. He merely speculates that the spores were coated with silica, and Matsumoto evidently interpreted that speculation as if it were fact.
