The anthrax attack was made with state-of-the-art - let me correct myself, beyond-state-of-the-art - weaponized anthrax. The Russians couldn't have made it, the Chinese couldn't have made it, hell, even the Iraqis (ha!) couldn't have made it. Only one tiny group of people in the world could have made it, a handful of scientists at . . . Fort Detrick. I hate to even bring it up, but developing this expertise is completely illegal under treaties signed and ratified by the American government. The main point is that the manufacturing process needed to make this stuff was beyond the ability of anyone other than a tiny number of American scientists, and Bruce Ivins wasn't one of them. <BR/><BR/>The case against Ivins is based entirely on (questionable) DNA analysis which is said to prove that he had custody of a flask of the base anthrax material from which the weaponized powder was made. How do we get from anthrax spores to weaponized powder? According to the FBI, Ivins made it all by himself in his spare time at night. <BR/><BR/>Ivins was an immunologist. He worked on vaccines. He had neither the expertise - remember, it is beyond-state-of-the-art - nor the equipment to turn the spores into weaponized anthrax. It is as if he was trained as an accountant and the FBI told us his night-time hobby was brain surgery. Or better, manufacturing gasoline out of crude oil in the oil refinery he built in his lab, without anybody noticing. Or better, manufacturing gasoline out of crude oil in the oil refinery he built in his lab, using beyond-state-of-the-art refining techniques developed over years of experimentation, without anybody noticing.<BR/><BR/>And yet, we're told he must have done it, as he had custody of the flask. Others, some of whom were part of a team that actually had made beyond-state-of-the-art weaponized anthrax based on years of (illegal) experiments using the most sophisticated equipment and techniques, also had access to the contents of the flask, but they have been 'ruled out'. Somehow Ivins, without training in the right field, the proper equipment, years of (illegal) experiments, and a team of scientists, turned the contents of his flask into beyond-state-of-the-art weaponized anthrax in his spare time at night without anybody noticing. On top of this, he did it without getting any of the notoriously hard-to-contain spores on himself or his car or his home. If you believe this, is there anything you wouldn't believe?

What makes them so creepy is that they enhance human power without making it any more likely that humans will use that increased power to do good rather than evil. And to reference another Kubrick film, even if science could condition humans to choose good over evil -- to turn man into a clockwork orange -- that only adds to the creepiness of the scientist.

Or maybe for profit motive, or possibly because they're obsessed with a sorority.<BR/><BR/>2) According to reliable witness with an penchant for drug use and drunk driving, who graduated from school last year, but who we will describe as a "psychologist". Ivins was crazy.<BR/><BR/>3) Also, this stack of email demonstrates conclusively that Ivins was crazy and homicidal, and also that Bill Gates will pay us all $1000 if we forward this email to everyone in the country.<BR/><BR/>4) Finally, if we don't get somebody (anybody!) real soon now, we're going to have to go work mall security.<BR/><BR/>5) Therefore, the crazy person did it. It's unfortunate that he's dead, and we'll be forced to try him in the press, but you should all believe us, before we're forced to find new lines of work.Rob Sherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04608830684498832440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-78936581388668252392008-08-08T04:33:00.000-07:002008-08-08T04:33:00.000-07:00Which conspiracy theorists will come up with... tw...Which conspiracy theorists will come up with... two separate culprits operating independently of each otherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87627891715067250552008-08-07T23:07:00.000-07:002008-08-07T23:07:00.000-07:00I think your first sentence is incorrect.

It seems most people accept the idea that a scientist or a group of scientists at the government's bioweapons lab did conduct this operation they are just not willing to take the FBI's word for it hook, line, and sinker at this moment in time. Given the circumstantial evidence, the remaining questions, and the FBI track record recently, I think that is quite reasonable.<BR/><BR/>Maybe, the truther movement will pick up on it: "Anthrax '01 was an inside job!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-17316598962709310922008-08-07T22:26:00.000-07:002008-08-07T22:26:00.000-07:00I personally find the idea that a lone scientist c...I personally find the idea that a lone scientist could mail anthrax, avoid detection for years, and kill a bunch of people terrifying.<BR/><BR/>That's one man. Now scale that up to a trained lab, in the service of some foreign power or bought by a terrorist group (perhaps by a wealthy Gulf backer). With trained intelligence people carrying out the execution of the attack.<BR/><BR/>Just like Tim McVeigh was the wake-up call (along with 1993's WTC bombing) for what could happen in the US, so too these attacks.
