Domestic anthrax?

Post #15,887 by cwbrenn 10/31/01 1:38:07 PM Reply	Domestic anthrax? An interesting theory... and I haven't seen it discussed much. However, I do remember that some guy with supposed ties to a white-supremacist group was caught ordering anthrax from a laboratory -- apparently, he did it with very little trouble. Do you think it's a sympathetic party within the US, as a US cell or something, or do you think it's a completely different group capitalizing on the situation?

The anthrax scare has fewer than a handful of deaths. Realistically, they'd get more casualties with a rifle or grenade during rush hour. More effective, too. I don't know who might be doing it, but it doesn't look like ObL's work (or the work of his associates). The world is a lot more complex than our government would like us to believe.

As much as I distrust them - the government, from day one has said "We don't know who's doing this" - not "Its Osama again!" They were quick to point the finger after the planes, but not this time. Which makes me suspect that 1) they really don't have enough to be sure 2) they know its not, and aren't going to distract right now. But its the media , and the public, trying to have "one" threat.

It keeps the public's and FBI's eyes away from me while I work. Ray
