That's good to know. In that case, here you are.

If anyone has read the Frank Church Committee reports from the watergate era you know the suspicious past of Ft.Detrick.

It was revealed in the Church committee transcripts that Ft.Detrick bioweapons program was the control center for a series of secret field tests that took place from 1943 to the mid-1960s:

* In one such test, travelers at Washington National Airport were subjected to a harmless bacterium. Traps were placed throughout the facility to capture the bacterium as it flowed in the air. Laboratory personnel, dressed as travelers carrying brief cases, walked the corridors and without detection sprayed the bacterium into the atmosphere.

* In the New York Subway, a light bulb filled with the same harmless bacterium was dropped on the tracks. The organism spread throughout the system within 20 minutes. Traps and monitoring devices showed the amount of organism�if it were one of the predictable, dangerous organisms, could have killed thousands of persons. No one was injured or became ill as a result of the test.

* In San Francisco, a U.S. Navy ship, equipped with spray devices operated by Fort Detrick personnel, sprayed serratia marcescens, a non-pathogenic microorganism that is easily detected, while the ship plied the San Francisco Bay. It spread more than 30 miles to monitoring stations.

* A jet aircraft equipped with spray devices, flew a course near Victoria, Texas, and the harmless particles were monitored in the Florida Keys.

If the now-deceased Ivins really was the culprit behind the attacks, and the same facility was coordinating false claims of bentonite present in the samples, then doesn't that lead to a reasonable deduction of an overall coordinated effort by U.S. Army personnel at Ft. Detrick to fabricate a smoking gun held by Saddam Hussein?

If so, then doesn't that also mean that the same U.S. Army personnel looking to craft this reality --as well as those who ordered them to do so-- were explicitly meaning to murder top Congressional members via biological weapons as a key component to this manufacturing process?

If we're to accept the premise of Ivins' guilt, and take it with the complicity of other army officials to corroborate false facts, then it would seem the story here is more that somebody in the chain of military command is responsible for ordering a biological weapons attack on members of Congress, and failed to succeed in murdering them due to little more than luck.

That is rather unpleasant. The whole thing as a catalyst for war is certainly worthy of derision, but damn it man... the act itself is an assassination attempt apparently perpetrated by the Army and/or the Executive.

The #5 story in a form that will be better than any other M$M report is airing right now. I will provide link when it is available.

The key here, I think, will be to try to devise the right strategy to induce the right Congressional Committee to hold hearings on the false ABC News stories and the anthrax issue generally. I hope to have more details on that effort shortly.

Either the Executive, the Army, or both crafted a plan which included the attempted murder of Congressional leaders via biological weapons; presuming Ivins guilt and the validity of false statements coming from defense officials.

That's a pretty big deal to get figured out, as it would point to members of Congress and the Media as having a contract out on them by military and/or government officials.

I'd think it'd be pretty easy to get the non-ABC media and a good chunk of Congress interested in sorting that out. If somebody was plotting to kill me, I'd sure as hell want to know about it.

Jean Duley, who sought the protective order, said this guy had "a history dating to his graduate days of homicidal threats, actions, plans, threats & actions towards therapist." Either that is true or not. If it is not true, it smacks of an outrageous disinformation effort. But suppose it is true. How the hell did a guy with this "history" get to handle anthrax for all those years? C'mon MSM, ask a few obvious questions here!

It should be noted that Brian Ross has been responsible for other false terror stories. He was responsible for running tons of terrorism stories from Alex Debat before Debat was busted for placing fake interviews with the likes of Obama & Clinton in French papers.

Instead of allowing an independent investigation into the 100's of terrorism related stories that of Alex Debat wrote for ABC (and was the sole source for). Brian Ross took it upon himself to internally fact check Debat stories.

Not surprisingly, Ross claimed that all of the stories Debat wrote for ABC news were factual. What I find most amazing is that no major TV network or newspaper did an investigation into Debat, Ross or these very questionable ABC news stories. It’s especially interesting when you look at the HUGE investigation into the New Republic/Beauchamp scandal.

In addition to my earlier comment, I would like to point out that the Bush "administration" has a well-documented Unitary Executive theory of how our Federal government should be run. It also had a well-documented lying propoganda campaign to sell an unjust Iraq war to a public that, overall, has always been much more peaceful and moderate than the violent, radical neo-con warmongers in the White House. Therefore, I think that we have to ask the logical question: was the FBI merely incompetent, or was it ordered to focus on not-Ivins?

Coup d'état causes contrecoup and my head hurts.

How about appealing to their sense of outrage for being targeted for extermination?

I ultimately think this is going to be the best angle, but I doubt seriously the democrats will cooperate. The leadership knew this story was coming and couldn't get the hell out of Dodge fast enough. The upside is they finally learned how to stand up the republicans:)
