I've been examining those anthrax letters lately.... Here's the one I've found most interesting: dailynews.yahoo.com Indeed, the above letter's psychometrics tells me that not only its writer is PERFECTLY fluent in English but he/she has an American turn of mind as well... Here's the giveaway: "Are you afraid?" Such a concise, arrogant, ironical dig... It displays that special blend of truculence mixed with mockery... It doesn't fit the cast of mind of Islamic fanatics but rather that of a psychopath --or an American Zionist... Just skim through Yaacov's past messages on this thread (or Kosovo) to get the same impression --deep animosity concealed under a veneer of scorn... Bottom line: forget about a foreign/non-US writer. I can tell you that those letters were written by someone whose native language is English, someone who knows the American psyche from the inside.... Gus.

The US-led anti-terrorist campaign is reshuffling the whole geopolitical map: Gadhafi says America has the right to retaliate October 23, 2001 Posted: 7:25 PM EDT (2325 GMT) CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, once one of Washington's sworn enemies, said Tuesday the United States had a right to retaliate for the September 11 attacks, but said he would not brand Osama bin Laden a terrorist before an international conference agreed a definition of "terrorism." "We have to sit down at any level to define what is terrorism, without emotions ... otherwise terrorism will win." "America has the right to retaliate with direct military action; this is the right of self-defense that doesn't need notification of the (U.N.) Security Council ... We don't blame America," he said.

Hence the French's anxiety to figure out what Gadhafi has in mind --LOL!
