Diane Rehm Show: "The Mirage Man" - discussion of Anthrax attacks

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

Shortly after September 11, 2001, anonymous letters sprinkled with anthrax were sent through the mail. Five people died. Fear spread across the nation. No one seemed to know if it was a second wave of terrorism or the work of an individual psychopath. Confusion reigned. In a new book, a Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist unravels the mystery. And he argues that the Bush administration seized on dubious evidence to suggest the anthrax had been "weaponized." The implication was Saddam Hussein was behind it. How the anthrax attacks helped justify a war and how the bio-terror investigation put the nation at risk today.

1. They did more than just "seize on dubious evidence".

They were the perpetrators behind those murders.

2. Quit lookin' backwards to the past!

We're lookin' forward to the future. There't no need to investigate anything, besides, it might show some Democrats in a bad light, and you don't want that, do you? We need to keep our powder dry for really important things, like rounds of golf and other stuff.
