  funding theory

  I don't buy that one b/c Bush/Cheney has been all about giving money to the M-I-C. We already have private corps doing this work, before the Blackwater SS.

  The timing and the targets would seem to indicate a desire to intimidate Leahy and Daschle into passing the Patriot Act.

  Wolfowitz, etc. had already written about working on bioweapons that could be GENETICALLY TARGETED (genocide, in other words) in the PNAC doc "Project for a New American Century." I don't think funding was an issue at all. Doing away with the biological weapons treaty prohibition on offensive bioweapons could have been a possible motive - but only if the sender was an "other."

  I've never been in rehab, never gotten a DUI, all that, but I know some who have and the counselor in 12 step programs is often a recovering addict him or herself. In fact, I cannot think of ONE person I know who has been through such a program who didn't have an addict counselor as some point - so that's really not an issue, to me, as far as Duley is concerned. Wouldn't stop the FBI from using her past to threaten her, tho.

  I don't know the policies for weapons labs, but most jobs I know of do not think a recovering addict with an excellent work/research record is an issue. However, we don't know if he really was an addict, or if he even attended the meeting in question, or if he did, if he had disclosed his substance abuse at work.
