Maybe more of a narrow one.
Think white sheets.

Read my post titled "Insight."

It's near impossible to make Anthrax spores which are light enough to be inhaled, and powerful enough to cause disease. You need hundred million dollar superlabs with high power centrifuges and refining equipment.

Iraq is the only country with the equipment and the motivation.

Given the connection between the anthrax and the 9/11 attacks, you have to consider the balance between a couple of journalists and 700 bond traders.

That is, if you are vile enough to suggest the title of the thread.

God, I hope the Christian Coalition gets more control of our government. It could only mean good things.

Grim, this "prediction" of yours looks closer and closer to the mark everyday. I saw the talking heads this morning even mentioning how it is now believed that the anthrax came from the US, and right wing extremists are under investigation.

Maybe that's why they aren't catching anyone! (I am kidding, BTW)

Maybe Jerry and Pat put them up to it! After all, they feel we "deserve it".

The left-wing plot makes a lot of sense.

My guess is Ted Koppel masterminded the whole thing. Nightline originated during the Iranian embassy hostage crisis (day 1, ... day 145, ... day 416 ...) so this is just the kind of topic to raise his ratings. Peter Jennings is not part of the deal - Koppel is trying to off him so as to get the coveted anchor spot.

Of course, we will never know - these guys have an unbreakable "code of silence."
