Reply #86: Of course Daschle isn't buying it. If this is a cover-up,

[Raksha]

it's the most ham-handed, amateurish cover-up I've ever seen.

The only other seemingly sentient beings in the world who would dutifully take the government story at face value are a woeful chunk of the Dem leadership. At least Daschle isn't buying it.

They aren't even bothering to cover their tracks, to the point where it looks deliberate. Just like the surveillance of Ivins was open and intended to drive him over the edge, this "suicide" is a very poorly disguised set-up, intended to send a message.

And Congress--the House and Senate both and Leahy and Daschle in particular--are the recipients of said message. And what they are being told is that there better not be an investigation even after Bush leaves office. No special prosecutors if you value your health. They've been sent that message before with the original anthrax attacks, so I guess the Ivins "suicide" is just a friendly reminder.
