anotheranonSuspicion Swirls Around Source of Anthrax
"I don't think there's a way to prove that but I think we all suspect that," House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.) said this morning after a meeting between President Bush and congressional leaders.
Asked about a link between the anthrax and the Sept. 11 strikes, Fleischer agreed with Gephardt's view of linkage. "That's been the operating suspicion of the White House," he said.
Gad.... this just fuels the flames. Don't tell me what you suspect, tell me what you know. Personally, I suspect that this may be right-wing crazies in our own country. But I just SUSPECT that ya'll - lets make that very very clear.
I do find it interesting that this is the only followup I've found to the "anthrax-scares-at-abortion-clinics" story. Turns out they were all hoaxes. Also turns out that not only does the media not find abortion clinic anthrax scares worthy of comment, but that the gov't also doesn't find these scares worthy of criminal investigation. Oh, I forgot... threats against abortion clinics aren't really terrorism.
