You know...I havent followed this subject at all because it seems to me that the 9/11 highjackers were the sources of the original anthrax letters [mailed before 9/11] and that any subsequent letters were copycat mailings that killed "0".

Am I off?

Am I off?

Yes. None of the Anthrax letters were mailed before 9/18. None of the 9/11 hijackers could have physically mailed them.

The anthrax attacks were actually much later after 9/11 than people remember; I think people probably hazily remember Bob Stevens getting sick a week after 9/11 when it actually was three weeks.

And the FBI spent the entire first two months of the investigation trying to tie the anthrax attacks to the 9/11 hijackers, contrary to the idiotic assertions of most on FR, they didn't instantly decide it was a domestic terrorist and immediately write off foreign involvement.

The anthrax mailings came a little after 9/11, but I still think Arab terrorists were behind them, whether Hatfill really had anything to do with them or not. Which doesn't mean the new 'Pond Theory' won't reveal anything. Hopefully it will.
