Unknown Candidate, I have to assume that the Copyright folks at NYT finally got after you (and several others also). I am really sorry, as I think posting comments that, sometimes, follow the theme of the blog is more interesting and it won't happen as much with the need to reference elsewhere.

Having said that, I seem to have missed two things - NYT comments on the 5th anniversary of the anthrax attacks and a comparsion of the keenness of the FBI to go after the spinach guys and not the EPA "the air is good" guys who will have been responsible for 10's of thousands of deaths in NY.

You may have forgotten that initially, SH was blamed for the anthrax attacks, but, someone permitted the analysis of the "signature" and it was quickly realized that SH did not have access to American anthrax!

Someday, when the real forensic investigation of the WTC is done, we will, undoubtedly, find that the signatures of the explosives used are not OBL's.

Finally, not enough credit is given the NY police who stopped the destruction of the GW bridge from happenning on 911. Of course, the guys who were driving the white van were not OBL's guys and, thus, were let go! Funny that OBL's guys are either dead or held incommunicado!

Hope you get the full post back.
