Thanks for the very interesting article.

It seems to be forgotten that the first victim of anthrax mail in the US was a Florida man who worked for American Media. I always thought that, with the subsequent letters sent to the ABC,CBS and NBC American media outlets, that the terrorist who did this was confused as to what American media actually was.The terrorist was probably not an American. Also, Arab terrorist suspects had lived near, indeed rented from, the first man to die in the anthrax letters.

Also, the letters were definitely mailed in NJ. There was information back last October, even on FreeRepublic, that there was a Muslim scientist living in Trenton, NJ who was NOT being investigated. Perhaps a more astute Freeper can dig that information out.

The FBI has long since passed the time that it has any credibility and should be disbanded. No American should trust it after it was politicized by the Clinton Administration. It needs a complete overhaul, which we were promised, but that never seems to have happened. And it needs completely new leadership.

I agree on your comments on the efficacy of continuing on with the FBI.

The scientist you speak of was an Egyptian I believe and was not liked by his colleagues at all, and was supposedly being investigated by the FBI. I regret I don't have his name right now, but there was speculation (this about 6 months ago) that by the Anti-Israeli tone of its letters it was a setup to frame him by these colleagues.

Why now the switch to Hatfill? And who is feeding the media?

Where did this initial story go?

The terrorist was probably not an American.

I too, never forgot the first victim. I can not forget all the "amazing coincidences" in Florida. I too, never thought it was a lone, white American.

Why the railroading of a man who understands fully the danger of bio/chemical weapons ..... it can't be sheer incompetence...can it?

At newsmax.com, Phil Brennan, who used to work at AMI, and whose son still does, has started a blockbuster series that goes back to the Bob Stevens case:

There was no evidence that any anthrax letters were "mailed" in New Jersey. Some were cancelled in New Jersey, but they could have entered the mailstream anywhere!~
