<snip>"Steve has categorically denied that he's ever been in Princeton," said Pat Clawson, a friend and spokesman for Hatfill, on CNN's "Wolf Blitzer Reports."

"He says he can't remember any time that he was ever in the city and that he couldn't even tell you where Princeton was located at in New Jersey."

(This is even more important)

Last Thursday (that means 8/9/02...that's ten months after the anthrax attacks), a mail collection box in the downtown area preliminarily tested positive for anthrax. Further tests have confirmed that the box was indeed contaminated with the deadly bacteria, and investigators told CNN Wednesday that some of the anthrax-laced letters were likely mailed at the box.

2. In seven years, the only thing the FBI has proven unequivocally is ...

... that it is completely incompetent and cannot find someone in our government who clearly did this.

3. You mean "incompetent" don't you?

Incompetence implies you really were trying to do a good job, but you just lacked the skills or
whatever to do a good job. The FBI is not a bunch of Keystone Cops bungling an investigation to the
level of a macabre caricature; this is a ham-fisted cover up, plain and simple.

4. Yes, I wish it were only incompetence. They're guilty of covering it up.

This was obviously a government operation thrown together in an attempt to reshape the response to 9-11, and redirect American policies. The targets were meant to help the push for the Patriot Act, which should be named "The Traitor Act."
