ANTHRAX ATTACK ON U.S. CONGRESS MADE BY FT. DETRICK, MD., SCIENTIST AND COVERED UP BY FBI, EXPERT SAYS
By Sherwood Ross (305) 205-8281
The perpetrator of the 2001 anthrax attack on Congress likely was a government scientist employed at the Army's Ft. Detrick, Md., bioterrorism lab having access to a "moonsuit" that made it possible to safely process and manufacture super-weapons-grade anthrax, a bioterrorism authority says.
Although only a "handful" of scientists had the ability to perpetrate the crime, the culprit, or culprits, among them may never be identified as the FBI ordered the destruction of the anthrax culture collection at Ames, Ia., from which the Ft. Detrick lab got its pathogens, the authority said.
This action made it impossible "to pin-point precisely where, when, and from whom these bio-agents had originated," said Dr. Francis A. Boyle of the University of Illinois at Champaign. It was Boyle who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, the implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention.
Boyle says destruction of the Ames anthrax "appears to be a cover-up orchestrated by the FBI."
Calls for comment to two FBI press offices in Washington, D.C., on this charge were not returned. Members of the Senate have been pressing the FBI for additional information on its investigation, thought to be ongoing.
If impartial scientists could have performed genetic reconstruction of the anthrax found in letters mailed to Senators Daschle(D-S.D.) and Patrick Leahy, (D -Vt.), "the trail of genetic evidence would have led directly back to a secret but officially-sponsored U.S. government biowarfare program that was illegal and criminal" in violation of biological weapons conventions and U.S. laws, Boyle said.
"I believe the FBI knows exactly who was behind these terrorist anthrax attacks upon the United States Congress in the Fall of 2001, and that the culprits were U.S. government-related scientists involved in a criminal U.S. government biowarfare program," Boyle said.
The anthrax attacks killed five people, including two postal workers, injured 17 others, and temporarily shut down the operations of the U.S. Congress, Supreme Court, and other Federal entities.
Boyle, a leading American authority on international law, said after the attacks he contacted senior FBI official Marion "Spike" Bowman, who handles counter-terrorism issues, and provided him with the names of the scientists working with anthrax. Boyle told Bowman the Ft. Detrick scientists were not to be trusted.
In addition to then destroying the anthrax, the FBI "retained every independent life-scientist it could locate as part of its fictitious investigation, and then swore them all to secrecy so that they cannot publicly comment on the investigation or give their expert opinion," Boyle said.
Boyle pointed out that Bowman is the same FBI agent "who played a pivotal role in suppressing evidence which in turn prevented the issuance of a search warrant for the computer of Zacarias Moussaoui, the alleged 20th al-Qaeda hijacker on 11 September 2001, which might otherwise have led to foreknowledge and therefore prevention of those terrorist attacks in the first place."
A self-confessed al-Qaeda operative, Moussaoui was detained on immigration three weeks before 9/11 when a Minnesota flight school reported he was acting suspiciously.
Boyle asked if Bowman received an FBI award in Dec., 2002, for "exceptional performance" because of his capacity "to forestall investigations, because of where they may lead?" He goes on to inquire, "Could the real culprits behind the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, and the immediately following terrorist anthrax attacks upon Congress ultimately prove to be the same people?"
Because of its "bogus investigation," Boyle says, "the greatest political crime in the history of the United States of America since its founding on 4 July, 1776---the anthrax attacks on Congress, which served not only to deliver a terrorist threat on its members, but actually to close it down for a period---may remain officially unresolved forever."

The Anthrax attacks was the lessor of the "inside jobs" committed by this crime syndicate we call our government.
#1 - 9/11: anyone that hasn't seen the truth of this yet is in as much denial as the thugs in the White House.
#2 - stolen elections.
#3 - Oklahoma City: never reported that there were two more bombs founds inside the building on the MSM. It was reported repeatedly by the OK local news though.
#4 - the first attack on the WTC. Total set-up by the FBLie
#5 - bush 41's killing of JFK
there are so many more but these are the top 5

Despicable conduct, carried out by TRAITORS to our Nation.
Americans should erect a scaffold on the White House lawn.
Hang the perpetrators.
Hang those that enabled them.
Hang those that attempted to cover these Treasonous acts.
America's Constitution needs to be cleansed.
We owe it to those who Fought for our Liberty.
We owe it to our children.
The WORLD depends on US.
Public Hanging will show ALL of the TRAITOROUS SCUM,
A NEW AMERICAN ORDER, same as the old America.
A land of FREE PEOPLE, not to be trifled with.

Judicial Watch, hardly a leftist organization, requested information from the White House in either 2001 or early 2002, about why members of the W.H. staff began taking Cipro on the evening of 9/11.
Damn good question, since the first case of anthrax did not show up for a week after 9/11, in Boca Raton, Florida (Jebistan). Nevertheless, last I checked, Judicial Watch was being just flat-out ignored.
Points to ponder: Why when he menations 9/11 every other breath, does Bush never mention the attempted assassination of two senate leaders, a very serious, maybe the ultimate, offense in a Democracy, I would think? Bush has never mentioned it, as I recall.
I do seem to remember a lame attempt, by someone, to connect the anthrax to Saddam, but that strategy burned up quick, when those of us who remember, suggested that the Reagan administration had given Saddam biolgical and chemical agents, probably anthrax.
Nevertheless, the attack had a very identifiable effect: It locked members of Congress out of their offices, scared the living crap out of mmany of them and, thus, gave us the Patriot Act, from which all other domestic evil has flowed.
Let us, please, demand answers about the anthrax assassination attempt!

From the very beginning I believed the attacks were an inside job. The FBI should have been able to track down the perpetrators long ago. They seemingly do not care that they are viewed as ineffective and incompetent in their failure to do so. That would imply they are protecting someone/some group much more powerful than the FBI. I am not a fan of conspiracy theories in general. Although, I do believe there was always more to the Kennedy assassinations than were told to the public. However, after 6 years of being lied to and enduring repeated deceptions, manipulations and spins; and watching as one corrupt politician after another goes down, I would put no act of lunacy past this government. If it came out that Bush himself ordered the Anthrax Attacks, I would not be shocked. Cheney would be more likely, since nothing evil is beyond that man. Truth and decency, honor and justice have no meaning whatsoever for this administration and its Congressional supporters. Acts of infamy are second nature to them: destroying a country, torture, demolition of Habeus Corpus: you name it, they have done it. The Anthrax Attacks may be the least of their sins, when and if we survive the next two years.

I'm not gonna jump on the band wagon to quickly blamed Bush for this. However I do think his cohorts would jump for this kind of behavior. I figured it to be another one of there conspiracy until people started dying. My guess is someone got into Bush's stash that he though was cocaine from the college days when he tried it once. This might explain why Bush acts out his crazy thoughts on Arabs Nations.
