Who are the terrorists that launched an attack using WMD, a week after 9/11? The FBI knows.

Anthrax-The biggest smoking gun of all?

................

So who are the terrorists that launched an attack using WMD, a week after 9/11? The FBI knows. "The US army has been producing anthrax in a powdered form suitable for use as a weapon, it was discovered during the FBI's investigation of the spate of letters containing the deadly spores. But the army denied yesterday that the strain it had developed was the one that has so far caused five deaths. Officers at the army's Dugway proving ground in Utah confirmed in a statement that scientists there had been turning wet anthrax into a powdered form". It's a proven fact the US Government is the source and is a proven fact that the US Government makes powdered weaponized anthrax. "It is the first time the army has acknowledged that it has been producing anthrax powder. Officers said that the powdered form was produced for testing defenses against the spores in the event of a biological warfare attack. The statement said that anthrax had also been developed in aerosol form. Dugway, which is assisting the FBI in its investigation, is the US army's main testing station and has been able to produce the powdered form of anthrax since 1992".

.................

Isn't it reassuring that the only known source of making the type of anthrax that was used, is assisting the FBI in it's investigation of finding the source of the anthrax? "At first the anthrax letters were linked to the events of September 11, and Iraq was named as a possible suspect, but now the FBI believe that it is more likely to be an American who is responsible.

The FBI said that no individual associated with Dugway was being investigated.” Of course not! If the FBI was to solve this case, it would prove to the world that the US violates bioweapons treaties and prove to its citizens that they live under a terrorist state.

Well, now the FBI in a new report wants you to believe that this was just ordinary ol' anthrax that could have come from anywhere. This is a real quote from this news report "It is believed to have been a common anthrax strain and had not been processed to make it more deadly. Even so, the anthrax was still deadly." It wasn't processed to be deadly but was anyway? Remember postal workers died just from handling the equipment these letters ran through. "According to a new report, the 2001 attacks which killed five people and made 17 humans ill, used common anthrax, not military grade anthrax. As it was thought at the time that military grade anthrax was used" This is a blatant and obvious lie, but that’s what guilty people do, they lie. The FBI has also refused to brief members of congress on their phony investigation. Senator Chuck Grassley had this to say in a letter to the FBI. "We're seeing more and more agencies thwart the Constitutional responsibility of Congress. Unfortunately, the FBI’s refusal to provide briefings to Congress following the 2001 anthrax attacks appears to be the rule rather than the exception," Grassley said. "In one of the most important terrorism investigations ever undertaken by the FBI, it is unbelievable to me that members of Congress, some who were targets of the anthrax attacks, haven’t been briefed for years." Congressman Rush Holt added this, "The FBI's refusal to brief Congress on this matter is unprecedented and inexcusable," said Rep. Holt. "The anthrax attacks harmed the heath and livelihoods of my constituents and paralyzed the government and national commerce. All Americans deserve to know why this five-year investigation has made so little progress." 33 members of congress signed a letter addressed to former Attorney General Gonzalez demanding to know what is going on with the investigation.

2. It seems like forever now, but sometime in the Spring, Conyers asked FBI Director Mueller
about the investigation during a Congressional hearing. That's last time I know that it was mentioned in public.

This was anthrax that was from our labs and I believe, if I remember correctly, DynCorp had some too. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

5. Was it a boutique version of a Katrina hit?
High end product aimed at Democratic clientele? The last hijacked plane didn't make it to the Legislature so some spores did a few days later?

6. FIRST of all, what the HELL is our military doing making such a biological weapon!?!?!?!
MAKING a powered form IS NOT NOT NOT a defense-related activity and I can NOT believe ANY BODY would make such a bizarre and STUPID assertion.

We ARE NOT supposed to producing that aweful shit!!!

SECONDLY, why are the DOD and FBI and CIA and HS and USAG and ALL their constituent/associated branches FREE FROM OVERSIGHT/SCRUTINY/RESPONSIBILITY?

I am convinced these entities MUST BE ENDANGERING my own security and the security of fellow citizens because they are operating like a bunch of anarchists, free from othes to the constitution and our laws.

7. Patrick Leahy and Tom Daschle could have killed the Patriot Act
They were the targets of the attack.

9. Kucinich is on record as demanding answers here
Edwards may be aggressive enough to do the same, but hasn't said so yet. None of the other candidates want accountability on this.

10. Yep, bury the hatchet, and bury our democracy along with it.
This country needs the conviction, integrity and honesty of Kucinich in a very bad way.

13. Dugway. Say no more.
I recently heard a podcast of a CBC radio science show (Dr. David Suzuki was the host) that aired in 1975 that had an interview with a former scientist from Dugway.

The scientist described covert biological weapons development at Dugway, and hinted at the covert.

I had hoped to find the podcast and post the URL here, but I was unsuccessful.

As I listened to it, it really opened my eyes as to what's going on today.

14. It seems like the FBI doesn't really want to solve this case.
Doesn't it make you wonder why that may be true?

15. Do you remember when that happened?
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 07:19 PM by Canuckistanian
The Bushistas were in charge and they were the bosses of the world. They probably bullied the whole FBI organization as they had done to the CIA, the NSA, the Pentagon....

Tha whole thing was hushed up, the suspects were warned and protected and the agents in charge of investigation..... re-assigned.
