> Whether casualties from anthrax are in the tens or hundreds does not alter the fact that their aim is to kill thousand if not millions of us.<

People really need to burn this concept into their brains..........The terrorists are out to KILL ALL OF US

I would alter that statement to: they are out to kill ANY of us they can. This is not a war with a front line and a rear area.

Mike, I do not believe bin Laden is behind the biowar - alone. I also don't think he's behind al Qaeda - alone. The fact that anthrax was an impotent biowar agent does not mitigate the fact that it is an indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction. <distribution comment deleted - don't wanna give 'em ideas.>

To me, this has the stink of preplanned, cellular, orchestrated, clandestine sabotage with layers of plausible deniability. I think it's extremely likely that each cell has (or had) no idea it was acting in concert with others. Evidence is emerging that only the flight-trained terrorists knew the hijackings were kamikaze missions; the others may not have known. Plans within plans.

Just as the second WTC impact erased my lingering doubt that the crashes were accidental, the genetics and preparation of the anthrax spores are pointing the finger at Iraq. Bin Laden may have the distribution network, but he had to get the junk from somewhere.

Kudos to Giuliani for stuffing the crocodile tears down that Saudi's throat - along with the scraps of his check. "Friends" like that we don't need.
