It's certainly more immediately relevant, that's for sure, but the anthrax thing has the potential to blow shrub/Cheney out of the water.

As summarized in the link below, a lot of people have a lot of questions. The only things that seem clear right now are that the anthrax came from a military lab, and that no one believes the FBI.

Greenwald's a lawyer (whereas I'm just a conspiracy theorist -g) and so makes no insinuations, but as he points out:

"The importance of full disclosure of all facts surrounding the anthrax attacks cannot be overstated. This was the opposite of a run-of-the-mill crime. To the contrary, the anthrax attacks -- by design, as everyone acknowledges -- had an immense political impact on the country. Contrary to endless claims from Bush supporters that Bush allowed no more terrorist attacks on "the homeland" after 9/11, the anthrax attack was exactly such a terrorist attack.

For reasons I've detailed previously, I actually believe that the anthrax attacks played a larger role than the 9/11 attack itself in elevating America's fear levels to hysterical heights, which in turn put the citizenry into the state of frightened submission that enabled so many of the subsequent events of the Bush presidency."
