Anthrax Coverup: A Government Insider Speaks Out

Is it possible that the anthrax attacks were launched from within our own government? A former Bush 1 advisor thinks it is.

Francis A. Boyle, an international law expert who worked under the first Bush Administration as a bioweapons advisor in the 1980s, has said that he is convinced the October 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people were perpetrated and covered up by criminal elements of the U.S. government. The motive: to foment a police state by killing off and intimidating opposition to post-9/11 legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the later Military Commissions Act.

"After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Bush Administration tried to ram the USA PATRIOT Act through Congress," Boyle said in a radio interview with Austin-based talk-show host Alex Jones. "That would have set up a police state.

"Senators Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont)
were holding it up because they realized what this would lead to. The
first draft of the PATRIOT Act would have suspended the writ of habeas
corpus [which protects citizens from unlawful imprisonment and
guarantees due process of law]. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere,
come these anthrax attacks."

"At the time I myself did not know precisely what was going on, either
with respect to September 11 or the anthrax attacks, but then the New
York Times revealed the technology behind the letter to Senator
Daschle. [The anthrax used was] a trillion spores per gram, [refined
with] special electro-static treatment. This is superweapons-grade
anthrax that even the United States government, in its openly
proclaimed programs, had never developed before. So it was obvious to
me that this was from a U.S. government lab. There is nowhere else you
could have gotten that."

I often thought that this may be the case to explain how easily congress rolled over to all the fascist legislation that the Bush administration unraveled after 911..(strangely it was like they had it all written beforehand?..hmmm,,funny how that works)
So now it would make sense...a little anthrax in the mail from your neocon masters..follow our lead or this is what your family will have for breakfast...no wonder Daschle and the rest ran for the hills silently...

in case your wondering..I am wearing my tin foil hat & the black helicopters are not flying overhead ..they actually park in my driveway...

davinci, you dress like Elvis!.. Good post!

cant see my blue suede shoes....

OMG yet another conspiracy theory and I know the "Police State" exists for a fact, just the other day I saw a cop drive through my neighborhood and he actually waved at me Hummmm I wonder what he meant by that. I bet he was spying on me. I was out in the garden with my favorite hoe, bet they bust me for pandering or something.

Boyle is a terrorist sympathizer. Funny he should be the one claiming this. I would hardly consider him an expert on the different grades/classifications of Anthrax and who has the capability of developing it. Remember he is a lawyer. Just because he helped draft legislation does not make him an expert on said subject.
Additionally the source is not in question in most cirles, it is a matter of who. Those that were investigating did not rule out the source as US labs, as a matter of fact, there were investigating people within the US that would have had access to the source.
This is a spin on unknown facts trying to, and quite sucessfully, misinform the uninformed.
