  The Source Of The Anthrax Attacks Is Obvious

  If you consider the targets of the attacks were the two Democratic Senators (Leahy and Daschle) most likely to oppose or at least delay the passage of the ironically named "Patriot Act" and that the Bacillus anthracis used was a strain unique to the American biological weapons stock, it becomes clear that this was a tool to intimidate Congress into passing the bill quickly without reading it or considering its consequences. And it worked! These attacks were calculated to further panic the public into surrendering their rights and control of the government to the Executive Branch. They were launched by the same group of traitors who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks and have been allowed to run roughshod over all constraints of law and decency for the further empowerment and enrichment of the few at the great expense of the many.

  A new 9/11 Commission needs to be convened, not to determine how 19 box-cutter wielding Arabs managed to create so much havoc, but to determine what actually happened and who was responsible, by omission or commission, for this travesty. This new commission must be composed of fearless, rational investigators, willing to ask questions that may embarrass the powerful, and most certainly must not be composed of individuals who serve on corporate boards of directors or who have held high office in government. This needs to be a people's commission free of self-serving prejudice.
