We Are Now Safe from All Anthrax
From USA Today:
Senate leaders on Wednesday expressed serious doubts about the FBI’s assertion that Army scientist Bruce Ivins was the lone attacker in the 2001 anthrax assaults that killed five people and injured 17 others.
A day after FBI Director Robert Mueller said he was confident in its case, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., one of the two senators targeted in the attacks, said he believes that there are “others who could be charged with murder.”
“I do not believe in any way, shape or manner that he was the only one involved,” Leahy told Mueller at a committee hearing.
Uh, YAH. But guess what, as predicted by your humble narrator a few weeks ago, the story is already dead. No one cares. Until the next time we get hit by an anthrax attack, of course, which (new prediction!) will be right before the election and will be used by the McCain campaign as proof that we need to elect the Republicans again. Which makes logical sense because … I don’t know, he was a P.O.W.?
