Obviously you have credentials, and as I wrote the other day, I've found all of the informatioin you've supplied intriguing but, at the risk of sounding like a complete a-hole, can you put all of your research and contract amounts and citations into your own personal lyophilizer and purify it down to a simple thesis in one or two sentences?
You're starting to sound like Art Bell. That the anthrax lab was privitized means nothing. That government contracts are worth millions is a given. That ex-military men like admirals become insiders and sit on boards for private companies is business as usual.
Putting all these unpleasant but relatively mundane facts together in order to give the impression that there's a there there doesn't cut it.
Give the exact articulatioin points -- who was pulling the strings? Who felt they had to start sending anthrax in the mail in order to win contracts a day or two after the deadliest attack in the history of our country without waiting to see if the 9/11 attacks would be impetus enough to get what they wanted simply by asking?
I'd like to read your declaritive staement about who you think engineered this for profit, how that person or persons was sure to profit from it at that time not two to five years later and why their plan necessitated the specific targets chosen.
