What to investigate: are there any meaningful links between the Camel Club member at Fort Dietrich who tried to frame Dr. Ayaad Assaad for the 9/11 anthrax attacks and members of the Bush 43 administration who had advance warning of the attacks and who tipped off members of the MSM, like Richard Cohen at the Washington Post? Uncover substantive links, interrogate the links in the chain with force, and the case is probably solved.
QUOTE
Assaad's troubles, though, didn't stop with his departure from the lab. In late September, he was the subject of an anonymous letter that was forwarded to the FBI. The note had highly specific details about Assaad and claimed he was preparing a biological attack. It was sent before the first anthrax case broke.
The timing is deeply suspicious. And since Assaad is Egyptian born, he would seem to make a perfect fall guy. FBI agents met with him on Oct. 3 and, after a 45-minute interview, told him they were convinced the letter was a hoax. Assaad says he is sure he was being set up by the real anthrax killer to take the blame for the attacks.
