Fear generation basically, with the government controlling all the angles of the case - from anthrax generation, investigation, analysis, and prosecution.
All the legal and scientific analysis on this blog remains relevant, but it could remain so with no real crime - other than the murder of said victims.
As to the Zeitgeist if the incident, I offer something from that guy Suskind in a 2004 New York Times Magazine article..
"The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
