The August 2006 issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology contained an article written by Dr. Douglas Beecher of the FBI labs in Quantico, VA.[34] The article, titled “Forensic Application of Microbiological Culture Analysis to Identify Mail Intentionally Contaminated with Bacillus anthracis spores ,” states “Individuals familiar with the compositions of the powders in the letters have indicated that they were comprised simply of spores purified to different extents.” The article also specifically criticizes “a widely circulated misconception” “that the spores were produced using additives and sophisticated engineering supposedly akin to military weapon production.” The harm done by this misconception is described this way: “This idea is usually the basis for implying that the powders were inordinately dangerous compared to spores alone. The persistent credence given to this impression fosters erroneous preconceptions, which may misguide research and preparedness efforts and generally detract from the magnitude of hazards posed by simple spore preparations.” However, after this article had appeared the editor of Applied and Environmental Microbiology, L. Nicholas Ornston, stated that he was uncomfortable with Beecher’s statement in the article since it had no evidence to back it up and contained no citation.[35]

In August 2007 Dr. Kay Mereish, UN Chief, Biological Planning and Operations, published a letter in Applied and Environmental Microbiology titled “Unsupported Conclusions on the Bacillus anthracis Spores”.[37] This letter, published in the same journal as FBI scientist Douglas Beecher (see paragraph above), points out that the statements made by Dr. Beecher in his article on the lack of additives were not backed up with any data. She suggested that Dr. Beecher publish a paper with analytical data showing the absence of silica or other additives. Such data would include SEM images of the pure spores as well as EDX spectra and EDX images showing the absence of any foreign additives such as silica or the elements silicon and oxygen. Dr. Mereish referenced a 2006 CBRN, Counter-Proliferation and Response meeting in Paris where a presenter announced that an additive was present in the attack anthrax that affected the spore’s electrical charges.

Signed, & will post on my blog.

Botched anthrax investigation & subsequent lying to the public =
Watergate break in by Nixon’s plumbers.

This may be the smoking gun.

SHE KNOWS THE TRUTH

C-SPAN Interview April 2, 2006
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski
U.S. Air Force, 1983-2003

She saw which Generals from which country (other than our own) were free to come and go to the planning meetings in the lead up to the war without the need to sign in.

Whose war is this, any way?

Hmmmmm…..

I’m definitely signing the petition, but is there any evidence that these petitions actually make a difference? I get the feeling that we’ve been calling for investigations, one after the other, of the most heinous crimes imaginable, but there just doesn’t seem to be a will in the Congress or Justice Department to look too deeply into these misdeeds. I’m afraid it’s because everybody’s hands are dirty, but you’d think there would be a few people who would not stop yelling until these things got looked into.

I mean, even the most ardent progressives seem to have a threshold beyond which they won’t go. Bernie Sanders, and a bunch of others, could have filibustered the FISA bill. Even if it didn’t work, you’d think they’d care enough about the country to get on the record as having filibustered. Leahy too. He’ll go so far, but no further. Never far enough to lift the rug on all the dirt. I just don’t get it.

I’m sorry, I don’t see a conspiracy in “why didn’t the Air Force shoot down unarmed US commercial aviation over US soil on 9/11/01″
