Sorry — the guy deserved to die. I just can’t get past that to the other. And I guess I have a hard time wanting to inspect the criminal. It just seems like the only people who get on the “why did he do it” bandwagon are libs, and they will immediately turn around and say “it’s OUR fault.” (of course! *barf*) I’m sorry if I lumped you in with that crown undeservedly.
Politics are immaterial to me.
I just want anthrax solved.
And politics has only served to undermine that goal.
Liberals are seriously confused on the subject and intemperate comments by busy surfing Freepers on the subject only encourage them to remain so.
Bottom-line: what is at stake is an aerosolized anthrax attack on NYC and DC that would change the course of Western Civilization. So some serious analysis is required. Not bullshit like Ed spews about how it is a FACT that a first grader wrote the letters. Not liberal politically-motivated garbage like how a biodefense insider like Hatfill was trying to sound an alarm. Indeed, the theory was invented and first publicized by a lawyer/professor working for militant clients abroad. And we don’t need garbage “lone-wolf” profiling such as came out of the FBI’s Quantico from people who apparently did not know jack about religious fundamentalism or the the open source intelligence about Zawahiri’s anthrax weaponization program or the US-based infrastructure supporting the Salafist jihadis.
What is needed is just well-researched analysis that demonstrates that the anthrax letters were intended as a threat and warning — by religious zealots who deemed that the koran required a warning and public relations-minded tactitians like Zawahiri who wanted to win the support of muslims worldwide.
Only if we catch the anthrax operatives will be be able to best ensure that the threat is neutralized. Which is what every true patriotic American should want. And while I wouldn’t ever let my daughter marry a Freeper, I know you all to be patriotic.
