As I recall, this is because we supplied Hussein with the goods back when he
was a "friendly" and seemed intent on destroying Iran. I'm thinking that
this was during the Carter administration - but it probably also continued
into the Reagan era.
Insofar as I am aware, there is no evidence whatsoever that the anthrax
attacks were carried out by any foreigner(s) and there's not much evidence
to suggest a terrorist connection. That whole incident more closely
resembles the Tylenol Murders than any sort of Muslim contrivance - the
coincidence of the event and 9-11 is just astounding... whomever was behind
it had to have been preparing for quite some time - the events of 9-11
perhaps spurred the perp into action. If they ever figure that one out, I'd
lay my money on it being a simple murder plus incredible obfuscation. In my
book, one or two of the dead victims were the real targets... all the other
stuff - especially the envelopes mailed to NBC and the Capital - seems like
part of a smokescreen.... window dressing...
The guy the FBI was hounding... now *that* is a wild story. They wound up
running over the guy's feet when he approached one of their "covert"
surveillance team vehicles - and that was the last episode I read of
regarding little melodrama. You have to wonder if their "person of
interest" in this case is just another hapless malcontent - kind of like the
guy they originally tried to hang the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing on...
the Rent-A-Cop who made the mistake of trying to be a hero.
The FBI, ATF and CIA have been on a real roll the last 10 - 20 years...
McVey just dropped into their laps and they still almost blew the case...
The ATF turned Koresh into a martyr. That guy Hanssen... made Colonel
Klink and Sgt. Schultz look like security geniuses. Say nothing of 9-11 and
all the "clues" that the terrorists were dropping.
Our spies are not exactly the MIB they're so often portrayed as by people
like Oliver Stone.
but I wander....
