At this why would ANYONE want to cover up any purported ties of anthrax to Saddam. Who benefits from that.
OTOH, who benefits from another lone gunman being nailed as the anthrax perp after 7 years of mystery?
"The administration does not want the victims of Sept. 11 interfering with its foreign policy," says Peter M. Leitner, director of the Washington Center for Peace and Justice (WCPJ). Leitner says the Bush administration may be concerned that if other victims of the Sept. 11 attacks also filed lawsuits and won civil-damage awards it would reduce Iraqi resources that the administration wants to use to rebuild the country. Leitner and others say this explains Bush's reticence at this time to report the convincing evidence linking Saddam and al-Qaeda that has been collected by U.S. investigators and private organizations seeking damages. "The [Bush] administration is intentionally changing the topic," claims Leitner, and sidestepping the issue that "Iraq has been in a proxy war against the U.S. for years and has used al-Qaeda in that war against the United States."
Pretty much everyone hostile to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. That includes the entire democrat party, the countries that profited off Saddam during the oil-for-food scam, the countries that armed him and the countries that continue to arm Iran and other enemies of the west.

The same folks. The "No WMD/No terror ties" lie has been the backbone of the antiwar movement. It's been their mantra since the beginning, going as far back as the first reports after 9/11 that Mohammad Atta twice visited the Iraqi embassy in Prague. Without that lie, there can be no legitimate objection to the Iraq war because the invasion would be completely justified. If it's proven that Saddam passed a WMD off to the 9/11 terrorists... it's game over. Nobody can make a peep about the invasion of Iraq and be taken seriously.
There are plenty of people out there with strategic and financial reasons for wanting America to fall on her face in Iraq. Iran, Russia and China to name three. And they have a great deal of power and influence in our government, our schools and our media.
