If we've learned anything in the United States during the Bush era, it's that we have to resist rushing to judgment in the face of catastrophic events. The exercise of careful, independent judgment is the best tool available - we should use it. US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, who often wrote on the benefits of both privacy and transparency, offered the reminder "sunlight is the best disinfectant."

The impact of the anthrax attacks was at least as damaging to the US as 9/11. The weeks after 9/11 brought the Homeland Security Act and the war in Afghanistan, ostensibly to stop "the bad guys." As shown below, the result of the anthrax attacks was a greatly-toughened Patriot Act and a war in Iraq that destroyed the fabric of life in America as we know it. If 9/11 resulted in Americans suffering from psychic dislocation, the aftermath of the anthrax attacks was the deeply-felt sensation that there was literally no place left to hide anywhere in the United States.

because it immediately conjoined to the Iraq propaganda consoiracy, and was linked to bioweapons programs
and their character in the US. From then on it corrupted the FBI investigation and lost time to gather spore evidence. In order to daylight this investigation you have to pry those issues off first- if possible and if it is truly not linked directly to the crooks in the WH. 9/11 has a larger laocoon to slay. It;s like thousands of JFK's have been assassinated and the books are slammed shut for the good of someone or other.

Good luck. Blood has been shed, but the only certainty we have is that most if not all of it is innocent and the guilt of the people held to "account" is as uncertain a mystery as anything else.
