(1) Because the primary objective of the anthrax mailings was terror, not murder.

(2)Because they liked the way Klintoon pinned OKC wholly on McVeigh so much that they thought they could accomplish their terror objective while also getting cover from a "right wing extremist" theory, and that cover is exactly what they got from the start.

Terror would have been magnified by dumping anthrax from the balcony at a basketball game, a movie theater, shopping mall. Letters to politicians was inconsistent with Bin Laden. He does not leave notes. People just die.

On the other hand, Bin Laden and others surely noted how a little anthrax and two losers in a car could terrorize the country. Who needs anthraw, even? Five or six snipers touring the country could cause total havoc.

Then it wasn't terror. It was an attempt to decive us into thinking the right wing did something...that's not terror.
