The media and certain Dems were targeted by ANTHRAX TERROR 9/01
Remembering this fact may help quell confusion regarding the media's overly-self-edited coverage of the BA. Never underestimate the power of fear and the effect of such a bold, personal, public threat. Bet a million bucks they know, deep down, damned well who ordered those mailings...

This explains why they're silent on this unsolved (LOL) matter. The US media is extremely self-involved and for what other reason would they let their own brush with ANTHRAX terrorism slide from public view? For what other reason would Bush, Cheney, Rummy, the JG--HELL--the entire BA, never, NEVER mention the NATHRAX MAILINGS again?

1. I'll never forget it
right after it happened ONE TIME across the bottom of the screen on CNN it said "ex-CIA agent suspected in anthrax mailing attacks"-the top of my head almost blew off and I waited all day to see it again-it never showed back up,nor were there any stories anywhere about it.It was what I had been saying all along-what my belief of who did it was.Remember who was once in charge of the CIA...and who has a son NOW in charge-uh so to speak anyway...

3. Actually, the Bushistas started taking Cipro *on* 9/11
FBI & BUSH ADMINISTRATION SUED OVER ANTHRAX DOCUMENTS

Judicial Watch Wants to Know Why White House Went on Cipro Beginning September 11th

What Was Known and When?


(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, said today that it has filed lawsuits against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (“USAMRIID”) and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for those agencies’ failures to produce documents concerning the terrorist anthrax attacks of October 2001, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”).

Judicial Watch has additional anthrax-related FOIA requests pending with the White House and other government agencies that will see legal action in the next two weeks.

Judicial Watch represents hundreds of postal workers from the Brentwood Postal Facility in Washington, DC. Until the Brentwood facility was finally condemned by the CDC, Brentwood postal workers handled all of the mail for Washington, DC, including the “official mail” that contained the anthrax-laden envelopes addressed to Senators Daschle and Leahy. While Capitol Hill workers received prompt medical care, Brentwood postal workers were ordered by USPS officials to continue working in the contaminated facility. Two Brentwood workers died from inhalation anthrax, and dozens more are suffering from a variety of ailments related to the anthrax attacks. A variety of legal actions are being planned for the disparate treatment and reckless endangerment the Brentwood postal workers faced.

In October 2001, press reports revealed that White House staff had been on a regimen of the powerful antibiotic Cipro since the September 11th terrorist attacks. Judicial Watch is aggressively pursuing the disclosure of the facts and the decision for White House staff, and President Bush as well, to begin taking Cipro nearly a month before anthrax was detected on Capitol Hill.

Also...

Schmitz, fluent in German and a Partner in global-law firm Mayer, Brown & Platt, has clients that include Bayer AG (German maker of the antibiotic Cipro which fights Anthrax, about which Larry Klayman and Judicial Watch (JW) will have keen interest. Recently, JW filed suit seeking the Administration’s anthrax documents to ascertain why the White House starting taking heavy doses of Cipro the day of the attacks -- nearly a month before anthrax was even discovered on Capitol Hill, and while postal workers continued to sort mail in contaminated offices -- some dying in the process.

There is much hasn't been explained regarding the actions of the Bushistas on 9/11 and the days that followed...
