Funny how PNAC just closed up shop this month - the damage is done...
I am certain 9/11 and the anthrax deaths were planned by a few select NeoCons and our lackluster president had SOMETHING to do with it all. We will just have to wait until one of them sings...

The answer to the Anthrax mystery lies with Bush, Cheney and the CIA strategists who wanted to drum up support for the invasion and regime change of five countries. Putting the American people in fear of terrorism----

It is hardly coincidental that The Iraq invasion was planned long before 9/11.

It is hardly coincidental that no attempt to stop the hijacked planes from striking the second tower or the pentagon was ordered/allowed, even though it was obvious to all what their intent was after the first tower was struck.

It is hardly coincidental that the anthrax filled letters was sent ONLY to congressional democrats and NOT to any republican.

This served several purposes. It spread fear among the public (including democrats in congress).
It also insured that if any congressmen were actually killed by the anthrax the republican majority would remain.

And probably most important, it took a lot of attention away from the suspicious tower collapses.

It is hardly coincidental that Bin Laden (Al Qaeda) was immediately blamed for the hijacker attacks and that military forces, including troops, ships, jets, etcetera, were deployed to Afghanistan in preparation for the long planned Iraq invasion. Bin Laden was conveniently allowed to escape and has not only remained free, all U.S. attempts to capture him were ceased.

That is too many coincidences, even for a conspiracy theory.

The answer to the Anthrax mystery lies with Bush, Cheney and the CIA strategists who wanted to drum up support for the invasion and regime change of five countries. Putting the American people in fear of terrorism for their dirty game on the world stage was a disgusting choice. Using a genetically fingerprinted US Army military grade Anthrax was not very smart. They never thought anyone would research the materials genetic fingerprint. Money, power, greed for gain, they all need to be indicted for crimes against humanity in the World Court where justice will be served for all.

Ashcroft, THE WORST ATTORNEY GENERAL IN US HISTORY
Rumsfeld, THE WORST SECRETARY OF DEFENSE IN US HISTORY
George Bush, THE WORST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY
D.Cheny, THE WORST VP IN US HISTORY

Seems like this administration is taking the prize for being the worst administration in US history.

Funny how Bush just ignored this whole Anthrax follow-up.

Must have been a fellow Right Winger who "just disappeared"....

This is one conspiracy I believe - if it was anyone with brown skin Bush would have plastered the person''''s face all over the media...

What I found interesting was that when news of the letters broke, I was instantly reminded of the kkk leaflets they used to throw from car windows, in the late 60s and early 70s, advocating just such a strategy, with just such a bioweapon.

I also found it somewhat funny that this knowledge was so widespread that even the Australian PM said that America should investigate these neo nazi, right wing extremists for answers as to who was the culprit.

It was also noticed that right after the Australian PM said this, we heard no more about any attempts at investigation.

"How I destroyed the greatest superpower on Earth", by George W. Bush. It''d be a good book.

Step one. Attack your own people.
Step two. Attack a random sovereign country.
Step three. Leave the borders unguarded.
Step four. Borrow trillions of dollars from communist China.
Step five. Move to Dubai.

Question to CBSnews: what is the grand total in paid off lawsuits to date? The last reported story I saw on that was when it exceeded 200 cases and 80 million dollars! Could you do a story updating this information?!

It''''s now 201 cases and $85.8m

My response: Not quite! It was over a year to a year and one-half since I saw the reported figure! Since then,I know they settled a case with the lawyer in Seattle whose office they ransacked and destroyed in true Nazi fashion, while publically defaming him. Plus, there have been many others as well.

It''s got to be well over 300 cases and 150-200 million dollars at least---and I''m probably low!

If CBS or some other media source would do a story about this, we''d know how much money this White House wasted falsely accusing people of crimes!

The US government sent out the antrhax letters at the same time the Patriot Act was mailed to members of congress for their approval. Oops! Now I''m a "person of interest".
