This was also highlighted in the book "Biological Weapons and America's Secret War GERMS", by Judith Miller, Stephen Engleberg, and William Broad. I believe this was written and out just before Sept 11, but their timing couldnt have been better.....I picked it up at COSTCO for $15 last week.....It is a GREAT read for the techno geek.

In February 1998, Harris boasted to an informant that he had enough military-grade anthrax to wipe out all of Las Vegas. Eight bags marked biological had been found in the back of a car he and his accomplice were driving.17 Several days later, federal authorities learned that the anthrax Harris had brought to Las Vegas was a vaccine strain not harmful to human health. Nevertheless, the incident frightened many people and sparked a proliferation of anthrax hoaxes and threats in the second half of 1998 continuing into 1999 by groups including Identity Christians and other antigovernment groups, extortionists, anti- abortion activists, and presumed prochoice groups. In many cases, the perpetrator s motives were unknown, but some incidents appear to have been student pranks, demon- strating the extent to which the threat of anthrax has entered U.S. consciousness

Does calling these Nazis or racialists "Right Wing" really add anything descriptive? Do we call Theodore Kaczynski "left-wing"? Was Jim Jones, "left-wing"? What of the Aum cult in Japan, "right-wing" or "left-wing"? Are we any closer to understanding what motivated Timothy McVeigh once we have labled him "right-wing"? How closely does that label fit and what does it supply that we wouldn't otherwise have known? David Koresh and the ATF: who was "right-wing" and who was "left-wing"? Not that Koresh was a terrorist, but Reno may have been.
My point is that sometimes these lables obscure rather than clarify, or they tell you more about the beliefs of those who use the lables than about those they are applied to.
Hitler was called a rightist, because he was against the Communists who had defined themselves as left-wing, and because once his party had members in parliament they had to be seated somewhere. But at the extremes of politics the comfortable terms developed for the center lose their meaning. Just as someone who only knew the land by the Thames would find it hard to find words to describe the lands of the Amazon or the Congo.

Timothy McVeigh operated according to this model. His bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building was originally conceived of by CSA, although it is not clear that McVeigh knew of CSA s earlier plot.

The RaHoWa is here and the enemy is Islam.
Arab Islamic terrorists --> NBC supply.
Domestic hate groups --> distribution.
American public --> consumption.

The Far Right has been obsessed with bio-weapons for quite some time:
In 1993, Canadian customs officials stopped white supremacist Thomas Lavy as he came into their country from Alaska. He was carrying guns, $98,000 in cash and a small container of ricin. Two years later, FBI agents and U.S. Army chemical warfare specialists raided Lavy's cabin in the Arkansas Ozarks and discovered a large quantity of castor beans (used to synthesize ricin). He was arrested. A few days later, he hanged himself in his jail cell.
Four members of a Patriots Council in Minnesota, a tax-protest group, were arrested in 1995 for plotting to kill a federal marshal. They had produced ricin in a home lab and planned to smear it on the door handles of the marshal's vehicle.
In 1995, the same Larry Wayne Harris of Lancaster, Ohio, received a mail-order shipment of the bacterium that causes bubonic plague. Authorities learned of the order only because officials at a Rockville, Md., lab reported him because they believed Harris was overly anxious about obtaining the material.
The radical anti-abortion group "Army of God," has been sending letters to abortion clinics with a message saying, "You have been exposed to anthrax."

The ONLY instance of a biological agent being used by an extremist group in America happenned to be a LEFTWING group known as the Animal Liberation Front. And yes they did use anthrax!
Why aren't these left wing nut cases ever raided by the BATF??? Why is it always the right wing groups??? I think it's an excellent question...
