Of course the CIA is not involved in the anthrax in the
mail. The CIA is
only allowed to murder foreigners!
It would be illegal for them to murder
American citizens....particularly, respectable, well off,
white ones! Only a
cynical person like myself, might believe that this whole
anthrax deal was
an attempt by the government to
build war paranoia and to justify an attack
on civil liberties!

WASHINGTON (CNN) - The CIA uses anthrax in its bio-warfare program
but the bacteria did not make it into tainted letters sent to two
U.S. senators and several news organizations, an agency official
said Sunday.
The confirmation that the CIA has anthrax comes less than a week
after the U.S. Army admitted it has produced small amounts of the
potentially deadly bacteria for years.
But, just as Army officials denied any connection to the anthrax
letters, a CIA official said the anthrax detected in letters sent
earlier this fall "absolutely did not" come from CIA labs.
The Washington Post reported Sunday that the FBI is focusing its
anthrax investigation on a contractor who worked with the CIA. The
ewspaper said the contractor may be the source of the "Ames strain"
of anthrax found in letters sent to Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, NBC News' anchor Tom Brokaw and
everal other news organizations. But the CIA official, while
confirming the agency has small amounts of the Ames strain for
testing purposes, told CNN "we did not grow, create or produce" the
anthrax in the letters, and "we are not the source of this material."
Meanwhile, experts continued Sunday to fumigate the Hart Senate
Office building, closed since aides in Daschle's office opened a
letter filled with anthrax spores on October 17.
"This was very serious anthrax, very highly milled and very
dangerous," House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt said Sunday.
"This certainly has been a tougher decontamination job than anybody
xpected."

The FBI is looking for someone or some group who began sending
nthrax-laced letters through the mail in mid-September. Five people
have died in recent months of inhalation anthrax, including three
postal or mail-room employees.
