Now she's got a secret report! Framing Hatfill more? Or does she have a new "profile?" Secrecy lessens exposure to libel law suits.
Memories...
War on terror:FBI guilty of cover-up over anthrax suspect(Rosenberg knows name she says) -6/15-
Ping.
And what if she's wrong? Rosenberg concedes that interrogating Hatfill might not help the FBI crack the case. But she quickly reverts to character. Even if that's true, she says, "the broad principles and the things I've said, I stand behind."In other words, anything goes to serve her left-wing agenda. She is no different from her predecessor at the FAS, Matthew Meselson, who prostituted his scientific credentials for years to support the Soviet propaganda line that the Sverdlovsk anthrax outbreak was due to tainted meat. For these folks, the equation is always the same: Communism = Good, US military = Bad, Facts = Irrelevant.
never in their wildest imagination
could the 09-11-01 gang have thought
that the FBI would not believe
that they had carried out the anthrax attacks!!
If only Atta had had the foresight
to include his uncle's birthdate
or some such confidential information
what a lot of trouble he could have saved us
(many 100's of hours perusing anthrax threads on FR
not the least of it)
There seems to some difficulty absorbing this particular information at the FBI.
Instead of issuing hints, may I suggest you employ the tried and true technique of "colder, warmer".
And, right now, they're "freezing"...
Wouldn't you say the Hatfill well is dry...and it's time to move on to Suspect #5?
"Famous, But Incompetent."
If the connection to Iraq was made last October, we would have been forced into a premature invasion, is what I believe the NSC thought.
Well, we can safely assume that Babs had nothing to do with the culturing and weaponizing of the anthrax. Though she is usually referred to as a "molecular biologist" (as in this article) she is, in fact, a tenured professor in the Environmental Sciences Department at SUNY/Purchase -- the performing arts branch of the school, no less.
Thus, while she might have been competent to play a role in the planning and distribution phases, she would have been useless in the production phase. And, if we are to buy her contention that it was a single "rogue scientist" who both brewed and spread the spores, it couldn't possibly be her...
The WSJ has opened the Oklahoma City affair once more, where the FBI did some of their best bungling.
Disregarding Atta and his flakes of ash is foolish.
Even finding the mailer won't help as I would guess only Atta knew who was making and packaging the anthrax. (Of course there's a whole bunch in and around Afghanistan who knew about the scenario.) It's a "dead men don't tell scenario" so I would guess that the maker is dead and the mailer is barbequing his dinner in Massachusetts (if he/she is still alive).
But let's put it in persective. What the whole incident did was show how we operate under this type of attack.
It made the papers because it was SENT to the MEDIA and the SENATORS. To the perpetrators, it was a show based on our free press system.
So before you're too quick to say "let Saddam be", think about HIS capabilities, his expertise in chemicals which are much more devastating than Anthrax.
Usama discounted that the Anthrax was his plan (his expertise is in buildings) and of course it wasn't his plan per se but it still had his approval.
We need a squeeler out of Quantanamo. I would suggest that our soldiers set up a pig farm and have a roast once a week about 50 ft away from the prisoners quarters. Let's see if we can tick off an unstable squeeler.

How about this:
War on terror:FBI guilty of cover-up over anthrax suspect(Rosenberg knows name she says)
"...Rosenberg says such a notion was occasionally aired jokingly in the small circle of those who worried about biological terror prior to Sept. 11.
"There have been a number of occasions when we've said in frustration, 'What we need is a biological weapons attack to wake the country up,'" she says..."
And what ever happened to the third guy??? I thought I remember him having a beard which is not the norm in America at present.
