I still think it is incredibly suggestive that the only large-scale anthrax attack in history occurred on the east coast of the US within weeks of 9/11.

Speculation here of course, but it strongly suggests that one or more persons involved with the 9/11 terrorists was left behind to try to sow panic and confusion and more mass casualties.

If the source was unrelated to 9/11 how would it/they happen to be ready with anthrax at that specific moment in history AND risk the obvious associations with the 9/11 attacks if their motives/agenda went in another direction?

The fact that no one has taken “credit” can mean a number of things, but since the actual anthrax attacks did not turn out to kill huge numbers of people it could be that Al Qaeda did not want to be associated with such a relatively puny attack (let’s remember that they favor big spectacular mass casualty attacks - the anthrax attacks did not turn out to cause the levels of casualties that must have been intended).

The anthrax attacks were horrible enough for those affected but to Al Qaeda (IF they were involved) the anthrax attacks may have appeared to be a failure for not causing nearly enough casualties???? Just trying to imagine the minds of Al Qaeda scum.......

Remember, anthrax doesn't instantly grab you by the throat and kill you. There's an incubation period. Plus, the attackers entered these letters at the single-piece First-Class Mail rate of postage using handwritten addresses.

That mail type and category receives the highest postage rates and the poorest service.

If we but imagine the AlQaida attackers dropping them in collection boxes in Boca Raton on Friday evening (Sept 7, 2001) after prayers, the odds of those particular pieces of mail ending up "lost in postal equipment" is absolutely astounding.

They'd have traveled by truck to somewhere in Pennsylvania before they'd be found in that equipment by a major mailer in New Jersey, and tossed to collection mail where they'd be canceled later at an MPC in the area.

The delay could easily be two or three weeks just for that reason.

In the meantime the attackers died in the airplanes they hijacked 4 days later.

I've detailed the complete process that would need to be followed in a series of posts over the last 7 years. Just look up "anthrax" and go all the way back to the oldest stuff in 2001. I am sure you will find it quite entertaining. Mr. Lake has several different theories, but I think he and I agree that the Anthrax Attack was of a piece with 9/11.
