By the way, I don't know about you, but this is the first time in my life I can ever recall members of Congress actually agreeing to this sort of thing: having such a limited briefing with only a couple of members present instead of a whole committee.
Leahy particularly is usually a loudmouthed, bloviating tough guy when it comes to oversight of this administration. I find it more than just a little odd he agreed to this highly unusual arrangement.
If there is not enough evidence, there is not enough evidence. You may assume that the FBI can just manufacture evidence if they want to, but this is one case where "manufactured evidence" would never work. The case has just too many people scrutinizing every detail.
Showing people the mountain of evidence that al Qaeda did NOT send the anthrax letters is about who did NOT do it. It's not about who DID do it.
I don't think Dr. Hatfill is innocent because I think someone else is guilty. I think Dr. Hatfill is innocent because the FACTS say he's innocent. It has nothing to do with who I think may have done it.
I don't try to convince people that I know who sent the anthrax letters. I don't. I just look at the FACTS, and the FACTS tell me al Qaeda and Dr. Hatfill didn't do it, and the FACTS tell me the anthrax mailer was most likely a scientist who lives in Central New Jersey. So, until I get more FACTS which tell me otherwise, I have to go with the FACTS I have.
