AP: Anthrax Skeptics are Conspiracy Nuts, Anti-Semites

A lone anthrax mailer? Skeptics question FBI case
By MATT APUZZO
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON --
The story has all the ingredients for a good conspiracy theory: a killer germ created in a secret government lab, a government on the brink of war, a murder investigation with unanswered questions, and a suspect who committed suicide before he could be charged.

The Justice Department considers the 2001 anthrax attacks solved, but for skeptics and conspiracy theorists, it's far from over.

It has been a week since authorities laid out much of their case against Bruce Ivins, a psychologically troubled Army scientist who killed himself as prosecutors prepared to charge him as the lone anthrax killer. Since then, armchair investigators, bloggers and scientists have pored over hundreds of pages of documents and circulated their own ideas about what happened.

"I think it's going to be one of the great conspiracy theories, like whether we landed on the moon or whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone" to assassinate President Kennedy, said Edward Lake, a retired Wisconsin computer specialist whose Web site has for years been one of the most comprehensive repositories for analysis on the anthrax case.

"I've seen the theories that he was a pawn like Lee Harvey Oswald. That's going to be hard to disprove," he said. "How do you disprove that a dead man was not a puppet being manipulated by the CIA? You're talking about proving a negative. You can't prove aliens didn't mail the letters."

1. What about us Semites who are just as skeptical?

:D

[EFerrari]

4. That just makes you a traitor!

This reporter is one of the two at AP that spewed rumor all over the net.

"AP Propaganda Mule to Internets: STFU!"

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

8. Do I get a 'get out of jail free card' like Joe 'Droopy' Lieberman?

:D

[EFerrari]

11. Omg. He reminds me of this guy:

lol

[Swamp Rat]

16. "Ludicrous speed, GO!"

5. Guess that makes you the conspiracy nut, eh?

Don't worry, they got you covered. :)

[Swamp Rat]

7. But I'm allergic to conspiracy nuts!

:shrug:



:D

[EFerrari]

10. They're probably going down into the basement to practice

in the White House torture room.

[Swamp Rat]

14. Americans would be shocked to know what they're up to down there.

:D

[Supersedeas]

22. well, that's the label you get for being skeptical about Mukasey and the Corp Media presentation

of the lone domestic terrorist -- a bad apple at Ft Detrick.

To the Mukasey apologists, semites can be anti-semitic

and Americans exercising the 1st Amendment can be enemy combatants.

[EFerrari]

23. Mukasey says crimes are not crimes if you feel embarrassed by them.

What a humanitarian!

2. anti-semites?!

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

6. What the hell.

:)

[Bob Dobbs]

3. AP are zionist propagandists.

[Indenturedebtor]

24. If I could smack my forehead at you over the internet I would

Instead here's a hat. Please put this on and feel free to continue to speak.

[Bob Dobbs]

25. Then smack it real hard.

Thanks.

9. That will shut them up

THROW OUT THAT WORD

[EFerrari]

12. Yep. That's what it looks like. n/t

[AntiFascist]

13. What a bunch of bullshit propaganda...

and they have to bring up anti-semitism to try and scare us away. I haven't seen one post suggesting some sort of Jewish or Zionist conspiracy! Although, my thread yesterday did mention a Mossad connection to Judith Miller, I guess that qualifies. :eyes:

The CIA angle is all too clear for anyone with vision. The only concentrated, weaponized Ames strain anthrax produced in the US (matching the type sent to senators) was produced under a CIA program called the Jefferson Project, and the contract was given to Battelle Memorial Institute where the anthrax was distributed to Dugway Proving Ground. How much tinfoil conspiracy theory is requied to understand that direct connection? Please see the latest postings on my journal.

[EFerrari]

15. Will do. If skeptics can be put on the defensive

maybe we'll forget FBI has no mfing case.

[Junkdrawer]

17. How long before all Anthrax/Ivins posts get moved to the 9/11 Forum...

One month...

Two months....

:shrug:

[EFerrari]

19. I dont't know. This story was breaking at the same time Suskind was talkin'.

There is a through line --oops, there I go AGAIN. :)

[screembloodymurder]

18. The AP is a government tool.

Press equivalent of Fox News.

[screembloodymurder]

20. We need to keep a shit list for jounalist.

Justice must be served.

[EFerrari]

21. Media Matters does good work but a more direct platform

would also be good when people like the author of this piece decides to distribute unsourced, unself-conscious bs all over the country on such an important story and for weeks.
