    John McCain: Key Player in Speading the False Anthrax Story About Iraq

    http://tinyurl.com/6raffh

    Note how McCain sounds like a member of the Camel Club -- in fact, he uses the word "camel" in an insulting and racist way. Connect the dots, look for intersections among a number of political and social networks here, all pushing the same neoconservative agenda. And keep in mind that Bruce Ivins was a DEMOCRAT.

    QUOTE

    A month after 9/11, before 4 of 5 anthrax victims had died, McCain went on Letterman and said "some of this anthrax may - and I emphasize may - have come from Iraq": In the interview Letterman keeps going back to the situation Afghanistan (where U.S. military action had recently begun) while McCain keeps moving the focus to "second phases" and other countries. He concludes that maybe we can scare these other countries back into just "selling camels." Remember this is 2 weeks before the ABC News series with its unnamed four sources (wrongly) confirming an anthrax connection to Iraq. Was McCain one of the sources or just someone very close to those sources?"
