<<<You claim to know who the anthrax terrorists are and how they came to possess the anthrax?>>>
We know the anthrax came from Fort Detrick since the strain was unique to the US and was in a secret weaponized form unique to the US government. That leaves you with two choices, 1. either a US scientist defected to the terrorist cause and supplied them with the agent, or 2. the incidents had nothing to do with terrorists and were carried out by the US government. There aren't any other possibilities because we know for certain where the anthrax came from, right here in the good old USA at Fort Detrick. You figure it out. If it was #1 the news would be telling everyone how wonderful our security agencies are for catching the nogoodnik.

"On this first anniversary of the anthrax attacks, a number of conclusions can be drawn even without an arrest by the FBI. First, the strain and properties of the weaponized anthrax found in the letters show that it originated within the U.S. biodefense program, where the necessary expertise and access are found. Government officials recognized that the anthrax source was domestic less than two weeks after they learned of the letters, and nothing in their investigation has led them to say otherwise since."
"For more than three months now the FBI has known that the perpetrator of the anthrax attacks is American. This conclusion must have been based on the perpetrator’s evident connection to the US biodefense program."
"Genetic analysis performed at Northern Arizona University on Ames strain samples from Fort Detrick (USAMRIID), Dugway Proving Ground, the UK defense establishment at Porton, Louisiana State University and Northern Arizona University has shown that all of these laboratories possess identical anthrax stocks that
match the letter anthrax perfectly (in the limited analyses that have been done). All these stocks were originally derived from Fort Detrick’s 1980 Ames strain."
""Weaponization" is used here to mean preparation of the form of anthrax found in the Daschle letter: fine particles,
very narrow size range, treated to eliminate static charge so it won’t clump and will float in the air. The weaponization process used was extraordinarily effective. The particles have a narrow size range (1.5-3 microns diameter), typical of the optimal US process.
The extraordinary concentration (one trillion spores per gram) and purity of the letter anthrax is believed to be characteristic of material made by the optimal US process.
The optimal US weaponization process is secret—Bill Patrick, its inventor, holds five secret patents on the process and says it involves a combination of chemicals . There is no evidence that any other country possesses the formula.
Under the microscope, the letter anthrax appears to be unmilled. Milled anthrax spores are identifiable because
they contain debris. The optimal US process does not use milling.
The Daschle sample contains a special form of silica used in the US process. It does not contain bentonite (used by the Iraqis).
A "coating" on the spores in the letter sample, indicative of the secret US process, has been observed."
