This was a comment I found above the line of the previous post. "The fact that the anthrax used in the letter attacks is genetically indistinguishable from the anthrax used at Fort Detrick does not mean that it came from a Fort Detrick lab. Indeed, that very same genetic grouping of anthrax bacteria could possibly exist in a hundred places around the world -- if all of the bacteria had been grown from a common parental source (and had not mutated significantly). So, if, for example, a little sample of Fort Detrick anthrax found its way to Russia during the Cold War, which could have easily happened, the Russians could have grown the same strain in any quantity they wanted, and then could have weaponized it using the US method, which I assume they either discovered themselves or acquired through espionage. And why not? The Soviets had NSA’s most secret codes? Why would a secret anthrax formula be beyond the reach of the KGB? But the FBI is absolutely convinced that a frustrated white male from the US was behind the anthrax attacks." R Koontz
