Anthrax ping

Yes, I saw it and put it on my web site yesterday because it was on the Post Office employee's magazine web site. Thanks.

To me it's just a lot of words about nothing of interest.

If find it incredible that so many people believe that al Qaeda was behind the anthrax attacks when the FACTS so clearly indicate otherwise:

1. The 9/11 hijackers were all DEAD at the time of the attacks.

2. No anthrax was found anywhere they went.

3. No al Qaeda member was ever found in the U.S. who possessed anthrax.

4. No connection of any kind has ever been found between the attacks and al Qaeda.

5. The letters show evidence that al Qaeda was NOT behind the attacks:

5.a. The letters contain medical advice to help the recipient avoid infection, which does not fit with al Qaeda actions.

5.b. The letters show that precautions were taken to minimize damage, which does not fit al Qaeda's actions.

5.c. There was no followup attack.

5.d. There was enough anthrax in the letters to kill hundreds, if not thousands, yet the actual deaths appear to have been unintentional.

5.e. Typical al Qaeda letters contain some passages in Arabic, which the letters didn't have.

6. No evidence has been found that al Qaeda had the Ames strain.

7. There were at least 2 different grades of powder involved, which is inconsistent with preparing the powder overseas somewhere and transporting it to the U.S.

8. There is a report that the powder was made using water from the Northeastern U.S.

9. There were dozens of targets which would have made sense for al Qaeda to attack before getting to liberal Senators Daschle and Leahy.

10. It's a near certainty that the second (sophisticated) powder was made after the first (crude) powder failed to alarm anyone. And it was almost certainly made somewhere in Central New Jersey.

etc., etc., etc., etc.

So, when Ross rambles on and one about "Atta's "Jenny" Code and the Jennifer Lopez Letter," I just shake my head, because the FACTS say that the Jennifer Lopez letter did NOT contain anthrax:

1. The third floor, where the letter was opened, was the LEAST CONTAMINATED AREA IN THE BUILDING.

2. A lot of people handled the J-Lo letter but only Stevens contracted anthrax. None of the others were even contaminated, not even the person who opened it.

3. There was another letter which contained a powder which was opened in the mail room by Stephanie Dailey. She tested positive for anthrax. The area around her desk was the MOST CONTAMINATED AREA IN THE BUILDING. Bob Stevens MUST have been infected by the powder in that letter. That's what the FACTS say.

What Ross does is rehash things which have long ago been shown to be nonsense. He goes into great detail about things which have nothing to do with anything other than his belief that al Qaeda was behind the anthrax attacks. (He's going to consider this to be an ad hominem attack because I go into an analysis of his method of ignoring the facts to promote his beliefs.)

I put his article on my site as an example of this practice of ignoring facts and promoting beliefs, just as was done with that article in The International Journal of Intelligence and Counterinteligence. That article also just spouted nonsense and ignored all the facts which showed it was total nonsense. The authors of these articles appear to be looking for converts to their beliefs. The ability to totally ignore facts is a requirement for joining up.

Ed, since the attackers were ALIVE at the time they mailed the letters, this does make a great deal of sense (as tenditious as it might be).

Your second point is dead wrong. Anthrax was found where they had gone ~ Boca Raton, Florida!

You have to account for the fact the Boca Raton post office was contaminated as well as the dead body of the fellow whose wife was the rental agent who arranged for the terrorists stationed in Boca Raton to have a place to live while they prepared for the attack.

Oh, yeah, the "water" ~ simple ~ an enormous percentage of the bottled water available in the Eastern United States, from Maine to Miami, is bottled in or around Baltimore MD and Fairfax County VA.

Odds are the water was traced to Fairfax.
