Daschle buys Ivins as sole culprit in 2001 anthrax attacks

As to a motive for the attacks, Daschle noted three possibilities:

• Ivins and his wife were "vehement right-to-life advocates," while Daschle and Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat who also received an anthrax-tainted letter, are supporters of abortion rights.

• Ivins did not believe Daschle and Leahy were sufficiently supportive of the Patriot Act, a controversial package of security measures approved by Congress after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

• Ivins was involved in developing an anthrax vaccine and did not believe the government was promoting it adequately. An anthrax scare was calculated to change that, Daschle said.

Yes, just pick your own motive! There's a veritable smorgasbord of possible motives!

How is it that the only people defending the FBI on this investigation are members of the corporate media, politicians and ex-politicians?

1. Maybe they threatened him again?

[Alexander]

2. They made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

The carrot and the stick, Bushco blackmail style.

10. Simpler solution.

Daschle never was all that bright to begin with.

He seemed to believe everything else the administration told him.

11. I believes you has nailed it.

Daschle's a proven dud and bootlicker.

[blackspade]

3. ridiculous

All three of these motives have already been debunked.
I would hope that Daschle would be better read that this.

4. This isn't a fucking SAT test man.

There's no multiple choice. You are condemning a man and you don't even fucking know why.

Just please, keep waiting for that phone to ring Daschle. You're useless.

5. Stockholm syndrome n/t

6. "Whatever You Say, Just Don't Kill My Family"

[EFerrari]

7. Coward.

[DeeDeeNY]

8. Wasn't Ivins a Democrat?

Not sufficiently supportive of the Patriot Act?

:wtf:

[judasdisney]

9. Exactly true. Doesn't add up.

[EFerrari]

15. In one of his emails, he took issue with the ACLU for opposing metal detectors

in airports.

Not exactly your flaming irrational freeper. :shrug:

[trudyco]

12. And how does the newspaper guy who got killed fit in with this? -nt

[mhatrw]

13. He doesn't.

Ivins must have been upset that his paper was constantly publishing pictures of the Bush twins drunk rather than the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Captain Hilts]

14. And Obama has inherited major portions of Daschle's senate staff! nt
