Going after "right-wingers" is not my idea of making this nation safer

Hatfill doesn't get a free pass because he's right-wing. Not any more than Timothy McVeigh. There's evdience that whoever did this probably is a right-wing American (the date was written in Western style, etc.).

People can be right or left but they still have to respect democracy. They can't go around violating the peoples' laws. I know you agree with that, for sure. Not suggesting otherwise. But I think there's probably evidence leading the FBI to look toward Hatfill. I don't think they're picking on him just because he's right wing. His political views -- or the views of someone like him if he's not guilty, a possibility I allow for entirely -- provide a strong motive for this crime. Remember, Sen. Leahy was targetted; Sen. Gramm was not. The person who did this had some kind of axe to grind.

I want to be entirely fair: I appreciate that you're not saying that someone should get a free pass just 'cause they're right wing. But be entirely free to me: there's evidence here that the person who did this with a domestic right-winger. That's not some FBI fantasy. Even from what we know publicly, it so appears.

If you believe that, you really need to go back and read more about the case. Compared to the evidence that the anthrax came from an Islamic source, the so-called "evidence" that it came from a domestic right-winger is of zero value.

To get a start, I suggest you read the series of newsmax articles to which I have been providing links on another thread. Here's a link to one of them (which will allow you to navigate to the others): FBI Overlooks Iraq's Connection to Anthrax Attacks .

Well, the whole Anthrax thing started (the first death) in Florida, not far from where Mohammed Atta and his gang was living. A pharmacist nearby said that days before 9/11, Atta and two others (later identified as 9/11 hijackers) came in and wanted a remedy for a "nasty bout of the flu", while Atta had red, raw hands and lower arms, as if he had been using harsh chemicals.

That to me is just too much evidence to ignore. It points more directly to them (add that the Princeton, NJ area was and is a area with many Islamic fundy's of Atta's stripe) and the woman in NY named Ngyuen, points to Islamic terrorists much more than a Western-style date or Tom Daschle and big media types as the targets of right-wingers. Do only right-wingers hate Tom Brokaw or Daschle? I am being as free with you as I can. I think every single bit of evidence that it was Atta and his gang should be investigated until nothing remains ot investigate. Ignoring this leaves us just too bloody vunerable. If it came from Saddam (The Chechs say the Atta visited a top Iraqi intelligence agent in April 2001 in Prague) we need to nail his butt to the wall.

Anyway, any American doing this is NOT a patriot, but a monster, and I wouldn't give a flick for his/her conservative credentials. Really, I just don't think it was. The Atta-Hussien connection is too strong.
