Any guesses or is the answer known?

[Sax]

Is this 'mysterious' case of anthrax the same one from a week or two ago where a drum maker got it from animal hides imported from Africa? That's just plain natural bad luck and didn't involve any human intentions.

I wonder if this is show is about something new, or if CNN is just trying to beat a dead horse to get some more fear factor out of the uninformed?

Did they figure out what state the anthrax came from?

There is hundreds of $millions$ to be made in the Anthrax vaccine market...The Clinton Administration awarded a no-bid $150 million contract for military Anthrax Vaccines during the late 90's. Since they can't seem to trace this back to terrorism, I sometimes wonder if the mailings were a way to drum up business.

Ping.

[Serendipitous]

The genetic fingerprint of the anthrax indicated it was created by USAMIIRD in Fort Detrick.

That's it, thanks. I've been racking my brain trying to remember. Thanks again.

According to Bill Tierney
who translated the Saddam tapes
recently released
it was done by Hatfill
acting as an agent for Saddam.

Interesting theory.
Maybe someone should tell TGS about it.

[jpl]

Don't believe the bogus left wing media spin that the anthrax had to have been taken from USAMRIID at Ft. Detrick, and that therefore the perp had to be someone with a direct connection to that lab, because it just isn't true at all.

It is true that that strain of anthrax was originally held at that lab many years ago, but what the media really doesn't want people to know is that it was legally given to a whole bunch of other labs, including one in Canada and one in Great Britain! And the UK lab was actually under PRIVATE control for quite some time, with little or no British government oversight. And the guy controlling that lab was a businessman from Saudi Arabia who is the CEO of Bioport. And that's the same Saudi Arabia where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from.

Anyone trying to put out the line that the anthrax perp had to be a "domestic" is either misinformed, or more likely, deliberately putting out misinformation.

I read an article a few weeks ago about a company here in the states that bought the company that produces(I believe produces) the anthrax. I remember one of the owners was of Lebanese heritage. I cleaned out my history on my PC and lost the story about a week ago. I've been trying to remember exactly how I stumbled across it.

Ft.Detrick wasn't them. It was a private owned firm.

I missed the show. If anybody saw it, what did Anderson Cooper have to say? The transcript on-line at http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0603/08/acd.01.html shows a teaser on anthrax but no content.
