Quite an interesting paper! Personally, I've no doubts that (pro-)Israeli extremists are behind the anthrax scare: it started right after Prez GW Bush spoke about a "Palestinian state" and the targets just don't fit a far-right/supremacist pattern either....

FBI and CIA Believe Attacks Could Be Work Of Domestic Extremists
WASHINGTON Top FBI and CIA officials say they believe the anthrax attacks on Washington, New York and Florida are most likely the work of one or more extremists in the United States who are probably not connected to Osama bin Laden's Qaida terrorist organization, according to government officials.

US right-wing extremists (as T. McVeigh) hate "big-government-with-a-big-stick", alright. But then, the current bioterror strikes have drawn the US towards EVEN MORE big-government!! The FBI and the newly-created Home Defense Office (Ridge) have been vested with far-reaching powers. The CIA's "license to kill" has been reinstated. Federal authorities have an increased latitude to supervise/micro-manage local authorities all across the country... So, was that the political outcome our allegedly far-rightist bioterrorists had in mind?!
Besides, tell me how anchormen like Tom Brokaw represent the US Federal Govt?? Are ABC, NBC, and CBS owned by the government?? Even so, I'd expect those Aryan nuts to send their anthrax letters to people like Oprah Winfrey or Senator Lieberman or Mayor Giuliani or... you name it. |
