    • ssn697, on 08/03/2008, -6/+70It wasn't just the Bush administration. It was also reporters, after being warned by government insiders.

      You would THINK those reporters would now be wondering how the government knew.
      • tomjeff08, on 08/03/2008, -9/+14It's odd seeing you make a post that holds the government in a negative light.
      • floatingorb, on 08/03/2008, -1/+1http://digg.com/political_opinion/What_the_Anthrax ...
      • ssn697, on 08/03/2008, -5/+8@tomjeff

        Then you don't pay attention. I have been critical of the Bush administration my entire time on Digg. I have been critical of our reasons for going into Iraq, and how we bumbled it.

        You should brush up on your reading comprehension skills.
      • toetagger, on 08/03/2008, -1/+7These reporters are so "inside" that will protect the people who tipped them off. In other words these reporters are govt moles.
      • funkyloki, on 08/03/2008, -1/+8@ssn697: I had no idea about that. I appreciate the comment. After researching a bit, I found that noted journalist Richard Cohen knew of Cipro and was warned from a high government official to start using immediately after 9/11. He also stated that because of the Anthrax scare, and because Anthrax was linked to Hussein (falsely, in this case), this was a big reason why he and others pushed so hard for the Iraq invasion. Blows my mind that no one is talking about this more when discussing the "reasons" we invaded. Remember, this was reported not by a "truther", but by a well-known and experienced newspaper journalist. Scary
    • boner4linux, on 08/03/2008, -41/+9Yeah, it's not like we had just been attacked by terrorists or anything....not like we haven't had protocols in place for just such an event or anything...it would be really stupid to have contingency plans in place and actually *use* them...

      There's a reason we call you Libtards.....seriously
    • kayto, on 08/03/2008, -27/+2I don't believe it. You have to be a crazy to think it is an 'inside job'. Check out this insane prediction: http://foobets.com/comments/232
    • jordanlgta, on 08/03/2008, -20/+2Am I the only one that's going to stand up and say I have no idea what in the hell "on cipro" means, rather than just digging up a comment that sounds like it might be a good thing to go along with?
    • jabberwolf, on 08/03/2008, -14/+2Olbermann still believes 9/11 was an inside job regardless of the NT fire department, police officers, NT design and construction engineers that tore down the destroyed buildings.

      Olbermann is basically a tabloid on MSNBC. Its funny to watch but to take him seriously, you'd be better off buying the inquirer - at least they have more accurate sources.

      The LA time rarely has good sources, ever!
    • ssn697, on 08/03/2008, -1/+12October 14th, 2001, from the Guardian:

      "American investigators probing anthrax outbreaks in Florida and New York believe they have all the hallmarks of a terrorist attack - and have named Iraq as prime suspect as the source of the deadly spores.

      Their inquiries are adding to what US hawks say is a growing mass of evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved, possibly indirectly, with the 11 September hijackers.

      If investigators' fears are confirmed - and sceptics fear American hawks could be publicising the claim to press their case for strikes against Iraq - the pressure now building among senior Pentagon and White House officials in Washington for an attack may become irresistible. "

      http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/oct/14/terror ...
      • floatingorb, on 08/03/2008, -1/+6It's almost as if
        --"After 9/11 itself, the anthrax attacks were probably the most consequential event of the Bush presidency. One could make a persuasive case that they were actually more consequential. The 9/11 attacks were obviously traumatic for the country, but in the absence of the anthrax attacks, 9/11 could easily have been perceived as a single, isolated event..."
        http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/08/01/ ...

        It's almost as if 9/11 wasn't enough -- so that someone (on the inside?) had to pull off 9/18 also.
      • floatingorb, on 08/03/2008, -1/+2--"Administration officials close to the group told The Observer : 'We see this war as one against the virus of terrorism. If you have bone marrow cancer, it's not enough to just cut off the patient's foot. You have to do the complete course of chemotherapy. And if that means embarking on the next Hundred Years' War, that's what we're doing.' "

        That article is a great find ssn697; THX! Someone (/you) should submit that!
  • Hangly, on 08/03/2008, -16/+155Why the question mark? Hasn't that been established?
    • Sil369, on 08/03/2008, -20/+5Is this Questions Only? Can I play too?
    • boner4linux, on 08/03/2008, -11/+14Why for FUD effect of course. All the propagandists do it. Where the hell have you been?
    • brownn7, on 08/03/2008, -7/+10News does it all the time to get away with dumb reporting. For instance, "Britney Spears: A Whore" would be far too incendiary than "Britney Spears: A Whore?" because of the damn question mark.
    • nebion, on 08/03/2008, -5/+5To the best of my knowledge, it hasn't, although I'll admit that I haven't been paying all that close attention to the status of the investigation.

      In any case, if the investigation had a good case, it would most likely have been publicized before the suspect committed suicide, based on what we've seen before.

      Not to say that this isn't the right suspect...it might very well be, but I'd like to see some evidence.

    • spkrcity, on 08/03/2008, -11/+17Those of us in the Truth Movement have known this for a long time. But it takes a government scientist being suicided to get the attention of the masses.

      Olbermann mentioned the company that owned the National Enquirer received anthrax as well as NBC and the two democrat senators.

      Why would the National Enquirer be a target of Bushco? Maybe it had something to do with the National Enquirer running a picture of the underage Jenna Bush drunk as ***** at a bar and alleged that she was a pot smoker.:
      http://www.newsgarden.org/columns/anthrax/anthraxt ...
  • Hangly, on 08/03/2008, -8/+74Also, whatever happened to Dr. Philip Zack? I thought he was the primary suspect in the anthrax attacks.

    "Philip M. Zack, Lt. Col. (retired), Ph.D., DVM is an American microbiologist. 'Phil' Zack worked at USAMRIID in Fort Detrick through December 1991, then at the US Army's Walter Reed Institute, then for Eli Lilly, and then to a company in Colorado acquired by St. Louis' Nexstar Financial Management.

    The Hartford Courant newspaper ran a series of articles in December 2001 and January 2002 which discussed Dr. Zack as a "person of interest" in the 2001 anthrax attacks in the US, his relationship with Dr. Marian K. Rippy, and their harassment of Dr. Ayaad Assaad at USAMRIID in 1991. After Zack had been fired from Fort Detrick, a surveillance camera recorded him being let in at 8:40 p.m. on Jan. 23, 1992, apparently by Dr. Marian Rippy. Salon magazine ran a story by Laura Rozen on January 26, 2002, which reported that Zack was among those: "eager to continue working on projects USAMRIID said they should stop. What followed, the documents reveal, were scientists sneaking into the Army biowarfare lab to work on pet projects after-hours and on weekends, former workers like Zack, who left in 1991, still being let in to do lab work, pressure applied to technicians to help out, documents going missing, and deliberate mislabeling of specimens among other efforts to hide unsanctioned lab work."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Zack
    • ssn697, on 08/03/2008, -4/+17It looks to me like xenophobic zealotry was the norm at Fort Detrick, considering the now deceased Anthrax culprits letters to the editor, and this:

      Makes you really wonder how easy it was to convince the guy he was doing a service to his country. Oh, and who convinced him...
      • floatingorb, on 08/03/2008, -1/+12{"They weren't equipped to conduct an investigation of this scientific magnitude," said one bioweapons expert, who did not want to be identified because he has been asked to assist the FBI.}
        -- from the Sept 7, 2002 article titled Anthrax Killer Outlasting The Hunters

        I wonder if the quote was Ivins' words? His name occurs nowhere else in all the articles save the last one Aug 2, 2008.
  • ssn697, on 08/03/2008, -52/+28Holy crap. I just Dugg up an Olbermann submission. It is just below Digging up Rush Limbaugh.

      • obliviousfool, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1So ...why didn't they ever charge him with anything?

        Is this confirmed, or is this like the anthrax being linked to Iraq business?
    • fuzzybeard, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4*DINGDINGDING!!!* We've got a winner! The ultimate scapegoat is a dead one; no contradictions, no embarrassing revelations at an inconvenient moment, damning evidence that will never see the light of day in our lifetimes (Future Eyes Only classification rulers, FTW!).

      Short version: If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it is a duck!
  • Fangsinmybeard, on 08/03/2008, -14/+64Der, ralphie boy. Who else has highly weaponized anthrax and can stupefy an entire FBI investigation. I think Bush can certainly stoup low enough to initiate a release of a weaponized bio-agent without losing a wink of sleep.
    • Wartyboskfapped, on 08/03/2008, -1/+7Stoop.
    • boner4linux, on 08/03/2008, -13/+3I wish you people would make up your minds...

      Is Chimpy a retard or evil genius?

      Yeah, it couldn't have been those peace-loving Iraqis out in the desert practicing using anthrax on animals and who knows who else with help from the inside...why that would mean they actually had WMD....so it can't be that. And it certainly couldn't have been the Zarqawi camp up in Kurdish territory making batches of the stuff...noooooooooo.
      • rowjimmy, on 08/03/2008, -2/+134 years ago called, they want their fabricated arguments for aggressive western-imperialistic war-crimes back.
      • macweirdo42, on 08/03/2008, -1/+8I don't know if you've noticed, but we've got a little bit of a war going on in Iraq right now, and it's ain't none too popular, either. Given the situation, if there were any way to be blame the Iraqis for the attacks, doesn't it strike you that they would be all over that? It'd be precisely the vindication they needed. So why then, why in the name of God was the government going after this poor retch and completely ignoring the Iraq angle? Could it possibly be because they knew they didn't have a leg to stand on, even by their standards, in terms of blaming Iraq?
    • SamCatLu, on 08/04/2008, -3/+1You libs are f-in retarded. According to leftist the President is too stupid to tie his own shoes yet intelligent enough to constantly dupe with all these "inside jobs". And you wonder why people might question you "patriotism", as if you had any.
  • Catspaw, on 08/03/2008, -11/+48Dr Len Horowitz's new documentary has a close look at the government's use of anthrax. Make sure you watch it. "In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood and Bioterrorism" It shows how Hollywood films and the media are creating a profitable culture of bioterror and how the anthrax mailings resulting in restricted freedoms, and sales of toxic drugs, deadly vaccines, and more..more than the mainstream media...

    • FrankHope, on 08/03/2008, -1/+9The anthrax scare was used as a justification to pump more money into companies engaged in anti-biological warfare technology. Another case of stealing from the American People and giving to the corporations.
      • Waiting2awake, on 08/03/2008, -1/+5If that was the case - consider the timing. If what they were after was merely more funding they could have done that at any time on anyone. Yet this was done while debating the patriot act - and was mailed to primarily those against it.....

        Not that that is proof one way or another - but it is certainly a legitimate piece of evidence.
      • floatingorb, on 08/03/2008, -1/+1That's a valid observation; Those type companies did ride the wave, so to speak, and benifit from investing in (pre-manufactured) fear.

  • sheasie, on 08/03/2008, -10/+136Lone gunman ?! Hardly... ABC News claims to have FOUR sources within the lab attesting to Iraq being the source of the anthrax. As a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY, ABC News needs to reveal those four sources:

    WHO WERE THE FOUR LABORATORY "INSIDERS" FEEDING ABC NEWS THE BLATANT LIES ?!

    THESE FOUR ARE ALL POTENTIALLY CO-CONSPIRATORS, AND LIKELY POSE A REAL THREAT TO OUR HOMELAND SECURITY !!
    • topgigmedia, on 08/03/2008, -1/+13no need to yell, we can all hear your pain.
    • SquigglyP, on 08/03/2008, -1/+7Olbermann never got close to mentioning the ABC ties to this as well.

      The people won't be outraged by this crap until they are spoon fed the fact that ABC is covering up something here.
    • nebion, on 08/03/2008, -3/+1It needn't be lies, most likely just misdirection on the part of the actual attacker.

      From all the current evidence, my understanding is that it looks like it was probably an American attacker (not necessarily the one who committed suicide) who tried to implicate Middle Eastern interests by including anti-American texts with the material and by using an additive known to have been used by Iraq earlier...which would obviously explain why labs would claim Iraq as a likely source.

  • JimmySpaza, on 08/03/2008, -56/+16I think that Olbermann has finally gone over the edge with this report. Does he really believe this stuff...or is he simply pandering to the leftists who watch his program and think that the government is the root of all evil (when Republicans are president)?
    • hauntedchippy, on 08/03/2008, -7/+17So, the Justice Dept. admits it was charging a military scientist with carrying out the attacks and by reporting on this, Olbermann is just pandering the left?
      • JimmySpaza, on 08/03/2008, -20/+3Yes, because of his furthering of non-factual conspiracy theories, mischaracterization of what an "inside job" really means (it doesn't mean that the government/Bush planned this), and confrontational style against a government run by Bush.
      • hauntedchippy, on 08/03/2008, -2/+15In this instance 'inside job' means from within the US military. There was no implication in Olbermanns report that Bush/White House 'planned' this. However, it is rather suspicious that the Bush administration were confident that the anthrax came from Iraq. Is there a particular fact in this report that is false?
    • ciaran036, on 08/03/2008, -1/+2Right, left, black, white, male, female, gay, straight - does it really ***** matter?

  • JKap, on 08/03/2008, -33/+309/11 is an inside job.

    Less money ($15M) was spent on the government's official exposition into the events of 9/11 (the 9/11 Commission cover-up) than is being spent on the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial ($20M+).

    http://memorial.pentagon.mil/
    • DaDrake, on 08/03/2008, -11/+8What... that is an unfair comparison. We are talking about the difference of building something (with tons of man power, expensive material, equipment, etc) and hiring a small group of experts to investigate a crime. Fifteen million on any investigation is HUGE.
      • willief, on 08/03/2008, -5/+17Starr commission spent $40 mm; so $15 mm isn't so "huge".
    • sethorama99, on 08/04/2008, -3/+1Maybe they didn't need to spend $199 Bazillion because it doesn't take a retard to know that a small group of motivated terrorists attacked the United States on 9/11.
  • evask, on 08/03/2008, -7/+53There is of course a story of journalists being told by government sources to carry CIPRO antibiotics ahead of this "lone gunman" releasing the anthrax. See Richard Cohen's march admission in Slate.
  • mrzack, on 08/03/2008, -18/+91Of course it was an INSIDE JOB.
    • Waiting2awake, on 08/03/2008, -5/+33It is becoming harder and harder to think it wasn't.

      You almost have to just plug your ears and scream "LA LA LA LA LA", because every piece of evidense points that way. The only thing that seems to stop people from seeing the truth is the notion that "They wouldn't do that!" - yet clearly they have in the past, which goes to "They couldn't do that!!", which, once again, they have in the past.

      It is just intellectual inertia, once you get over that they would, and could - you get down to the business on whether they did - and you find out those that would have been responsible, have enacted executive privilege....
    • BECoole, on 08/03/2008, -15/+2Sorry Mr. Zack,
      That is totally lost on these Libtards. To them inside job = conspiracy. They are too stupid to understand the difference.
      • mrzack, on 08/03/2008, -2/+6you FOOL, the biggest conspiracy believers are real republicans.
      • GassyTurd, on 08/03/2008, -3/+5Yes, the liberals, who are statistically higher educated, are illiterate. Go back to Sunday school, it's not over yet.
    • tillerman00, on 08/03/2008, -3/+8Just watch, next thing the mainstream will announce something that breaks open the whole 9/11 thing, we'll find out our own government was involved in carrying it out, everyone will simply accept it as it seeps through the majority, and all the ostracized and demonized 'lunatics' who questioned it for years suddenly won't seem quite the laughingstock they are now. History's such a bitch, she's always whoring herself in the same ways throughout the ages, on and on across the sands of time until . . . . ah, look at that. I'm ramblin' again.
      • DigDugDigger, on 08/03/2008, -2/+10Mainstream media will do no such thing :( This is the same mainstream media who goes out of their way to make McCain look like a viable candidate to their dumbed-down audience.
      • KirbyMeister, on 08/03/2008, -6/+1Yes. And then they'll admit the moon landings were faked too.
  • ChesapeakeBaybe, on 08/03/2008, -9/+65I tend to be a skeptic of conspiracy theories; however, I dugg this because I am interested in hearing the facts of this complicated case. Ivins, presumably had some type of government security clearance -- likely a fairly high one. If this guy was the psychotic sociopath the therapist describes, shouldn't that have been picked up upon earlier in his employment?
    • jamessavik, on 08/03/2008, -3/+5>If this guy was the psychotic sociopath the therapist describes, shouldn't that have been picked up upon earlier in his employment?

      Not necessarily. A "psychotic sociopath" with a high IQ is a dangerous individual because they are invisible for all practical purposes. Such a diagnosis is fairly common in serial killers and like BTK and the Green River killer and we know how easy they were to catch.
    • spkrcity, on 08/03/2008, -13/+3Wow! Aren't you cool! You "tend to be a skeptic of conspiracy theories." That must mean you're a level-headed individual who knows that her government would never lie and that the MSM is totally reliable in delivering accurate, objective information. You're such a better person than those of us who consistently check alternate theories that conflict with the government's official version of events.
      /s

      Fools like you, who believe the government without questioning it, are exactly what's wrong with our country.

      Do us all a favor, and reach up that vile ***** of yours and rip out your uterus before you reproduce.
      • sethorama99, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1What about fools like you, who believe everything so long as it's anti-government?
    • ciaran036, on 08/03/2008, -2/+8It's not really a conspiracy theorist, is it? We KNOW the letters came from American men living IN America. It's a fact, not a conspiracy theory.
    • LazyLiberal, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1If you want to build weapons of mass destruction, wouldn't you want a psychopath in charge? They have the imagination for it.
    • Waterrat, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1Do you think people do not conspire?
      Of course they do! The term "conspiracy theories" is used to discourage people who might be catching on to things hidden from view from investigating further less they be branded as a nutcase.

      "Denial (also called abnegation) is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. [1] The subject may deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether (simple denial), admit the fact but deny its seriousness (minimisation) or admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility (transference)."
      • aftern9ne, on 08/03/2008, -6/+3Sorry but there is no overwhelming evidence, only conjecture. You wanna look "conjecture" up on Wikipedia, and then wipe the smug off your face because you think linking to a definition is supporting your case by insinuating I don't know what "denial" means?

        I don't put anything past the government, but I respect myself enough to lob accusations at it only when I have actual evidence.

      A must read. A Christian Group that holds Hitler, Lenin, and Mao as their Trinity. America doesn't need enemies. We have them and they are on a crusade against Freedom and Democracy. No not the Muslims, this cell structure is home grown and in control of our Government. It's not that Bush is a moron, as this group has been working for the destruction of Democracy for quite some time.

      Listen to the reaction of Will Wilkinson at the Cato institute to read the book. Jump to 8:10 to hear how much they love Hitler. that Hitler, Lennon, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot are great examples of Christian leaders.

When one of those people goes too far in one direction or the other, they are always corrected. It is a SELF CORRECTING democracy by representation. THEY is US through our elected representatives and if you do not get what you want - then it is only because you are in a minority, competing for the resources of your elected representatives. There is NO grand conspiracy by some rogue and secret section of the government. Sorry to bust your conspiracy bubble - but government is much more boring and much less competent than that.

  • an0nymous, on 08/03/2008, -7/+69Lotta questions need answering here. Let's start with these:
    1. Has it been definitely confirmed that the Anthrax from the attacks is from a strain avilable in the lab? I would like to see this stated unambiguously.
    2. What charges were being prepared against the good doctor? Was one of them terrorism? Why not?
    3. What evidence did the government have that he was involved? We should know specifically.
    4. Why was he informed that charges were going to be filed before he was put into custody? By what means did this happen?
    5. according to the restraining order filed by his psychiatrist he had a history of making homocidal threats dating back to grad school. How did he get and maintain security clearance sufficient to remain employed at a bioweapons lab?
    • tomarocco, on 08/03/2008, -4/+5You forgot to lead with "Was there really an Anthrax attack in the first place?".
    • spec209, on 08/03/2008, -18/+1let me guess, your a jew?
    • fuzzybeard, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2As I recall, it is commonly thought that the strain of Anthrax involved (pulmonary) was a weaponized version due to the dry air-milling technique used to ready it for dispersal. air-milling a viable pathogen isn't the easiest thing in the world to do, even for nation-states.
    • DestroyFascism, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1How did a crazy get and maintain security clearance sufficient to remain employed at a weapons lab?
      • Akufen, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Uhm, you do realize that if people in government are taking CIPRO before the attacks, this would not be the work of "A" crazy?
  • ThrstForKnwldge, on 08/03/2008, -15/+60I don't understand how people are willing to believe the anthrax attacks were an inside job but they completely deny that 9/11 was an inside job or at the very least that people in the government knew about the threat and allowed the attacks to be carried out. If you're gonna believe the anthrax attacks were an inside job then you should probably re-evaluate 9/11 as well.
    • nblsavage, on 08/03/2008, -15/+11One would be far easier to cover-up. Trying to cover up 9/11 would be as difficult as covering up a faked moon-landing.
      • GassyTurd, on 08/03/2008, -4/+6Obviously not. They have been planning this for years and an idiot like Bush was chosen to make the government look incapable of such a cover up. A couple of months before 9/11 the MSM was talking about the faked moon landing conspiracy and thoroughly debunking it. The whole plan is to make conspiracy theorists look like loonies. It worked.
      • vbullinger, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1Well, they did that, too, so what?
      • Akufen, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Plenty of stuff is covered up, stop trying to use it as an excuse when 80% of the people are freaking oblivious to what's happening right under their noses.

        Most people are unaware that planets revolve around the sun, that's not because it has been "covered up" but because nobody gives a damn. And the sad truth is that the same goes for politics, 9/11, the Iraq war,...

        To quote Bill Hicks:

        "Just let it go, they're only trying to enslave the human race."

        And to quote George Bush Sr:

        "If the people realized what we had done to the country, they would chase us down the streets and lynch us"
    • YZBot, on 08/03/2008, -11/+3At current, it's a lot easier to believe the anthrax conspiracy was an inside job and not be label a nut. Time will eventually label them nuts as well as more evidence surfaces. Same happened with 9/11. Where ever there are holes in the evidence people will jump on those and cry conspiracy. In the 9/11 case there is now so much evidence you have to ignore to still believe it was an inside job that most everyone looks at them like they are stupid. These conspiracies all come out of a lack of evidence and then people just make up the connections and present them as their evidence. People with a brain on their shoulders see what they are doing and rightly label them as loons.
      • JoeRW, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3On the contrary dear friend, there is no evidence that needs to be ignored when looking for the truth. Ignoring evidence would include such things as :
        1) Ignoring the more-than-capable first responders description of their experience.
        2) Ignoring physical and scientific methods of evaluating observed phenomena.
        3) Ignoring photographic, spectrographic and geodesic evidence that repeatedly and consistently describe resultants that are not expected.
        4) Ignoring long studied and supported analysis by those without special interests.
        - and the list goes on etc. etc
    • dagnome1984, on 08/03/2008, -13/+2One case has some evidence. The other one is based on mindless assumptions and gross speculation.
    • pillcounterd, on 08/03/2008, -3/+17Let's look at it this way, TFK.

      1st, Let us just say that 9/11 wasn't an inside job (for the sake of the argument, I personally don't know what to believe on that). With this large scale disaster, national security was put 1st and foremost into the minds of Americans; however, most Americans, and member of Congress were not ready for such a strip of liberties that is the USA PATRIOT Act. I believe that the bush admin, either knowingly about the release before or not, used this scare to further the cause. Bush could cut himself shaving at this time and the admin would blame it on Iraq.

      Lets look at the targets of the Anthrax attacts . News and Politicians. If your wanting to scare people into supporting a... war... um....

      You know, now that I fleshed this out, I don't know how one couldn't think they both were not connected. The 9/11 attacks scared the public, and the Anthrax attacks scared the media and the politicians. Both politicians being Democrats, by the way. Too much of a coincidence. I am still not sure how the Post and AMI fit into this, but i do find it odd that Fox News wasn't sent a letter.
    • ISIfunded911, on 08/03/2008, -4/+12The corrupt and violent Bush-Cheney mafia reached power by conspiring with Jeb Bush against Al Gore in Florida in 2000, and in 2004 they stayed in power thanks to corporations close to them, that sold and controlled electronic voting machines. They helped their rich oil buddies and military-industrial complex accomplices make hundreds of billions more, trillions by counting Iraq's oil reserves. A violent mafia (2 wars, preparing a 3rd one) at the helm of the US could have engineered a 9/11...for thousands of years, men have proven that they are capable of anything to extend their power and riches.
      I wondered if 9/11 was an inside job, and I was finally swayed by some unforgettable, very annoying facts: on 9/9, Bush was examining the plans for the invasion of Afghanistan. On 9/10, Rumsfeld announced that more than 2 trillion dollars were unaccounted for at the Pentagon (he could have announced it long before). On 9/11, flight 77 hits the Pentagon exactly at the location of the computer files which should have been examined to find out who where the people and corporations guilty of what constitutes the hugest hold-up in History. Flight 77 totally deviated from its flight path to hit that precise location, the manoeuvre took several minutes over Washington, as if they knew that the missiles or fighters from the 3 military bases that could have shot that plane at any time would not. A few hours later, WTC7 collapsed, destroying the accounting files of thousands of companies under investigation for fraud by the SEC, to the relief of many friends of the Bush-Cheney administration, who did not want to end up in court/jail like the big shots from Enron and Worldcom.
      The mark of a mafia is all over 9/11. Anyway, weeks after 9/11, Bin Laden, in an interview to a Pakistani newspaper, said that it was not muslim to kill so many innocents. If he had really planned 9/11 for years, he would also have prepared a memorable video to be released on 9/11 as well, to make the World listen to his words. But no, he said nothing on 9/11. Nothing on 9/12. Nothing on 9/13...But it gets stranger: Gary Berntsen, the CIA officer who lead operation Jawbreaker to capture Bin Laden, says in his book that the higher-ups of the CIA, of the Pentagon, and the White House did sabotage the operation when Bin Laden was about to be encircled, letting him escape from Tora Bora. And Sy Hersch revealed in his book that thousands of Talibans and Al-Qaeda members were allowed to fly to Pakistan by the Pentagon.
      http://www.amazon.com/Jawbreaker-Attack-Personal-A ...
      Also: the Bush-Cheney killed thousands of New-Yorkers by lying to them about the contamination of the air they breathed for weeks, months (the last scientific report predicts 300,000 victims in the coming years). The Bush-Cheney mafia killed 1500 inhabitants of New-Orleans, according to the extraordinary documentary by BBC investigative journalist Greg Palast: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7721859326 ...
      If you had to decide which corrupt administration in the history of the USA would have been capable of sacrificing 2000 lives to start wars for the benefit of ruthless corporations and billionaires, would you agree the Cheney-Bush mafia is the most likely criminal culprit? You can face the truth now, and help impeach them by joining the efforts of congressman Kucinich and many people with him. You can do the right thing and be proud years from now, when you are asked what you did during these shameful and scandalous times for America, against the administration that most dishonored this country.

    • Waiting2awake, on 08/03/2008, -3/+11Because - like WTC7 - there are pesky questions that keep coming up that the official story can't answer.... Thus they either need to label them as conspiracy theorist(Which is losing it's worth) or have a fall guy so that those that might start to ask questions - don't.

    • drmobutu, on 08/03/2008, -1/+17It came out now, because the previous patsy was exonerated, just last week.
    • tomarocco, on 08/03/2008, -1/+7It came out of nowhere because it's part of the cleanup. When this regime is over...and that will be very soon...there are going to be investigations, indictments and convictions. Dead men don't talk. Patsies close cases.
    • LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -4/+2The political hacks that Bush put in charge of Justice (and indeed ALL federal agencies) were ousted as part of the attorneys scandal. This allowed REAL DoJ officers to return and restart investigations.

      You see, previously, it could prove embarrassing to the administration if ANOTHER one of their rationales for the Iraq War war was proven to have never been the least bit valid, and they knew about it. So the political solution would have been to let the case languish until after the 2008 election. But the new DoJ was able to relatively quickly solve the case, exonerate the one guy and finger the correct guy (both work in the same lab and were coworkers, btw).

      So while there isn't likely a conspiracy involving the anthrax attacks themselves, the administration did use it to scare us into funding their war for oil, and then, like all of their other crimes, spend a great deal of time covering up/stalling/appealing/obstructing justice as long as possible...until it was too late to get out of Iraw, and certainly too late to see justice done during their administration.
  • Hypnos, on 08/03/2008, -6/+42For me the the Anthrax attacks and there timing to amp up the fear post 911 has always been the biggest indicator that some manor of conspiracy happened on 911. If you don't find any of these events suspicious then obviously you have not read up on the available information regarding the case or you are in complete denial. I am not sure I believe in the whole controlled controlled demolition thing
    , but the documented fact that there was a strong will to invade Iraq long before 911 and that the 911 and anthrax attacks gave the neo-cons a perfect vehicle for there invasion indicates to me that there was some kind conspiratorial element involved. We can't let things like anthrax attacks to be swept under the rug, otherwise we can kiss our democracy goodbye. Some say its already to late.
    • Waiting2awake, on 08/03/2008, -2/+11Regardless on what they say, regardless of the reasons or rationals given... What they do in the end, is what they planned on doing all along. They just needed a "problem"....if one isn't going to come naturally, manufacture it.

All you 9/11 theorists sound like cattle. "Conspiracism serves the needs of diverse political and social groups in America and elsewhere. It identifies elites, blames them for economic and social catastrophes, and assumes that things will be better once popular action can remove them from positions of power. As such, conspiracy theories do not typify a particular epoch or ideology". -- Frank P. Mintz. Stay moderate kids ;).

    Somehow, now that a liberal commentator is doing the same thing, it is swallowed hook line and sinker...gotta love the digg folks.
    • Bartboy919, on 08/03/2008, -1/+6"Obama a Muslim?" is a question that can be easily answered, where "Anthrax an Inside Job?" Sounds rather legitimate at this point in time.

    OMG BUNGIE WAS BEHIND THIS!!!111
  • drmobutu, on 08/03/2008, -7/+34The Cheney admin is trying to put a "case closed" stamp on the anthrax attacks, before they leave office.
    They don't want the investigation to continue, if they are not able to spin the outcome.

    So, that's it: Another "lone nut"...case closed, nothing to see here, move along...

  • defwheezer, on 08/03/2008, -5/+43At the very least the Anthrax attacks were used by the (Cheney) Government to scare Congress into passing at lot of really draconian anti constitution laws like the Patriot Act, as well as scare the entire country into believing Saddam was a real threat the the "Homeland".
    • Waiting2awake, on 08/03/2008, -3/+9and yet read some of the comments here - notice the usual suspects. They always - regardless of the evidense - defend the indefensible. Worse - they don't even try to defend it(knowing they can't) they resort to adHom. attacks and name calling....

      When the fit hits the shan, I can only hope youtube gets videos of the patriotic Americans straightening them out.
  • digga1301, on 08/03/2008, -16/+6Honestly, even when I agree with him, this guy always comes across as a complete tool.
  • joel3000, on 08/03/2008, -7/+25If it were terrorists, why didn't they go after any Republicans? Only Dems, their alleged supporters.

    Inside job. Case closed.
  • floatingorb, on 08/03/2008, -3/+44Government By Anthrax by Richard J. Ochs (revised June 9, 2002)
    Cabal - a number of persons secretly united to bring about an overturn or usurpation, esp. in public affairs (Websters).CONSIDER THESE "COINCIDENCES"

    · The anthrax attacks were concurrent with the debate of Bush's Patriot Act by Congress and the media.

    · The Senators who received anthrax letters were trying to amend the Patriot Act to protect civil liberties and the innocent.

    · Two Senate democratic leaders received anthrax letters mailed the same day that Senator Feingold blocked an attempt to rush the bill through without discussion or amendments.

    · Senator Leahy received an anthrax threat after he expressed reservations about the Bill. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he managed the debate on the Bill.

    · Senate Majority Leader Daschle received the first Senate anthrax letter as he led the opposition to the original version of the Bill.

    · After receiving the anthrax letter, Daschle switched from supporting a 2 year limit on the Bill, later defending a 4-year sunset clause as the "appropriate balance."

    · No Republican received an anthrax letter.

    · The House and Senate buildings were closed and not reopened until after the Patriot Act was passed.

    · The Supreme Court was shut down with an anthrax scare the day after the constitutionally-challenged Patriot Act was signed by President Bush.

    · All the contaminated letters contained the Ames strain of anthrax, the DNA of which is traced to the original batch preserved in a university lab in Ames, Iowa. This strain was "weaponized" in Utah into a potent powder with an elaborate secret technique developed at Fort Detrick, Md.

    • Waiting2awake, on 08/03/2008, -3/+10and yet there are the usual suspects saying that this is all normal....Americans.. take note of who is saying what - who is doing what. When the time comes. ;-)

      The real enemies of America have not been from overseas.
    • ISIfunded911, on 08/03/2008, -2/+12Perfect article!
      The Bush/Cheney/Military-industrial complex/Big Oil/CIA administration is much more sophisticated than Hitler.
      Who really thinks that if they engineered the anthrax attack they had nothing to do with 9/11?
      • VitriolAndAngst, on 08/03/2008, -1/+8The Anthrax attacks were actually the turning point for me to think that 9/11 was an inside job.
    • use2bacanadian, on 08/03/2008, -7/+1It was also coincidental with a full moon and the sun rising at least a few times! WTF! You morons will believe anything!
      • travis1982, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4True. But you believe everything. I think it's worse to have 100% confidence in authority, rather than questioning it. That just makes you a sheep.
      • use2bacanadian, on 08/04/2008, -5/+1Well its the retard Travis again - don't you ever go away you nit wit Canadian moron.
      • travis1982, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2Do I know you?
      • arcticblue, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4use2bacanadian - Don't you have anything better to do than troll digg?
      • use2bacanadian, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1arcticcube - who is the troll here?! you are commenting on my comment without even knowing what it about?????? your an idiot! I suspect you know as little about anthrax as every other illiterate conspriacy buff here.
  • Joetwopointoh, on 08/03/2008, -6/+22What a coincidence that the fellow who did it conveniently committed suicide just as it was all about to be exposed!

    Damn the luck eh?
    • hellahyphy, on 08/03/2008, -3/+7Isn't that what everyone is thinking?
    • tomarocco, on 08/03/2008, -4/+4He's living the good life at the same tropical resort as Kenneth Lay.
    • Iggins, on 08/03/2008, -2/+7And do we believe Hunter S. Thompson committed suicide too? Look it up.
      • VitriolAndAngst, on 08/03/2008, -1/+6No, I don't believe Hunter committed suicide either. Just like I don't believe the guy who wrote the book "fortunate son" committed suicide. Or that Marvin Bush's nanny was run over by her own car that was parked outside their estate. Or that the D.C. Madam committed suicide.
      • Iggins, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2Professor Wood says that Michael [Zubuhr] became fascinated with the 9/11 information, and he began to research the issue. He joined the Scholars For 9/11 Truth as a student member. He was very active in educating the other students about 9/11, and he was in the process of arranging a showing of some 9/11 videos to the students. It appears that Michael became much more active in educating students about 9-11 than professor Wood. [...] On 18 March 2006 Michael, his sister, his mother, and a friend were walking to their car after dinner at a restaurant when they were approached by a couple of young men who demanded his mother's purse. She gave it to them without a fight, but one of the men shot Michael in the head anyway, for no apparent reason. He died quickly.
        The two men escaped in a car. Police were soon chasing after a car that matched the description. A woman was driving. Two male passengers tossed loaded handguns out the window. After a few miles the woman stopped the car and all three people in the car were arrested.
        However, the two men, Omari Kwakou Thomas (2920 Northway Drive, Brooklyn Park), and James Michael Walker (2938 Morgan Avenue North, Minneapolis), were soon released. The woman, Aiesha Camille Williams (1301 Highway 7, Apt #127, Hopkins), is still in jail, but the police insist she had nothing to do with the murder. Mug shots are not available.

        Follow-up: 2 out of 5(?) suspects arrested from "lucky, quick police-work"

    • AmazingSteve, on 08/03/2008, -1/+3Yeah, and in a slow, painful way. Taking a handful of Tylenol 3's to top yourself IS NOT the same thing as taking a handful of sleeping pills.
      • tomarocco, on 08/03/2008, -1/+4Do you realize how much Tylenol 3 it would take to kill yourself? For an adult male? It would require him to hold down a whole stomach load of pills...not just a handful. He would have to have swallowed an enormous supply. Either that or be allergic to codeine. Even combined with booze it would be difficult to end your life that way. It would take real barbituates like Seconal, which are very rarely prescribed these days.
      • treehugger87, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1@tomarocco

        Tylenol is not candy. The drug causes around 450 deaths a year and thousands of hospitalizations (http://www.diamondbackfitness.com/askthedoctor.asp ... As Acetaminophen breaks down in your liver it creates a toxin that damages your liver and will cause it to shut down. There is a reason for the warning label telling you not to exceed the maximum dosage.
    • exomni, on 08/03/2008, -3/+2Who said anything about suicide? He received an overdose of aspirin with codeine.
      • Hangly, on 08/03/2008, -1/+4At point-blank range to the back of the head.
      • floatingorb, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1That ***** hurts; It's what the tylenol was for.
  • BlacklabelSAR, on 08/03/2008, -2/+10Oh yeah there's a ton of trees, but oh no, no forest here, that would be *crazy*. Just trees as far as the eye can see.
