Here's a question y'all might want to ask yourselves. Suppose for a moment it were really true that a rogue US Army scientist was responsible for the post-9/11 anthrax threats, as left-wing activist Barbara Rosenberg has been claiming for the last ten months. Now say you're George W. Bush. You can do practically anything. You make people disappear into secret custody and never even publish their names. The heads of the FBI, the CIA, and the DOJ answer to you. The press hangs on your every word. When do you think you'd want to go public with this hideously embarassing revelation? Would you want to splash it all over the news at the exact same time as you are trying to turn the country to dealing with Saddam Hussein and his biological WMD? Does that seem like a sensible thing to do? Or would you want it to be "old news" by now, or "no news," or maybe something that turns up in the history books thirty years later, like the assassination of Diem? How would you handle it?

This is all being stage-managed to the hilt. The highly publicized due diligence search of Hatfill's home is to set the stage for something else. We are going to find out what that something else quite soon now.

Yeah, something like the clay based particle stuff (reported in the earlier stories) that held the stuff together really did come from Iraq after all.

There’s the problem with your theory.

There’s plenty of people (Clinton holdovers and others) in those agencies who are not fans of the president. They would happily leak any embarrassing information they got their hands on.

And the press would trip over themselves trying to get out any story that would embarrass “the right wing.” It wouldn’t even have to be true. It’s true they “hang on Bush’s every word” because they don’t want to miss a gaffe or a inaccuracy that they can use to embarrass or smear him with.

I have no idea what the deal with Hatfil is, but I don’t think they have anything concrete on him. And nobody in the media or the government wants to discuss the fact that there is substantial indications that at least one of the hijackers may have had anthrax.
