Anthrax Investigation A 'Cold Case?'

5 Years, 53,000 Leads, 5,000 Subpoenas Later, FBI Is Empty-Handed

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2006

(CBS)Three years ago, FBI agents slogged through the woods to a fishing pond in suburban Maryland, where they hoped to find the hidden lab equipment used in the 2001 anthrax attacks. But, as CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart reports, they pumped the pond dry and even sifted through the mud at the bottom ... and found nothing

Five years, 53,000 leads, and 6,000 subpoenas after those attacks, they still have no arrests.

Things are so cold, law enforcement officials tell CBS News, that barring the discovery of new evidence, the anthrax investigation could be declared a "Cold Case" and put in the inactive files.

So who did it? Former Attorney General John Ashcroft once singled out Dr. Steven Hatfill, a bioweapons specialist, as a "person of interest." But there have been no charges.

Former FBI counter-terrorism executive and now CBS News consultant Mike Rolince says no case has frustrated the FBI more.

"We now know that someone, or ones, can conduct an attack like this and for least the first five years, get away with it," Rolince says.

The FBI says it remains committed to solving the crime. In a written statement, Joseph Persichini, Jr., acting assistant director of the FBI's Washington field office said: "Today, the FBI's commitment to solving this case is undiminished ... While no arrests have been made, the dedicated investigators who have worked tirelessly on this case, day-in and day-out, continue to go the extra mile in pursuit of every lead."

The bureau never had more than scant physical evidence, like the envelopes the anthrax was mailed in, and the terse letters inside - "Death to America" read one - and the spores themselves. But they were never able to trace the anthrax back to the attacker.

"It's true that a vast majority of the investigation early on was figuring out the science," Rolince says.

Nor did the administration ever entirely figure out what to do in case of another such attack. Despite a $5.6 billion effort to stockpile vaccines, just a small amount is available. Only the Pentagon has enough on hand for the troops.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff hints no one may ever be indicted.

"There are times that we may know a lot about a crime or an event that occurred, but we may not have the admissible evidence that we need to prove it in court," Chertoff says.

But the thinking among investigators is more stark: If we can't agree among ourselves who did it, they reason, how could we ever convince a jury?

Army Working on Weapons-Grade Anthrax

Utah Facility Quietly Developed Formulation; Spores Sent Back and Forth to Md.

By Rick Weiss and Joby Warrick

Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, December 13, 2001; Page A16

An Army biological and chemical warfare facility in Utah has been quietly developing a virulent, weapons-grade formulation of anthrax spores since at least 1992, and samples of the bacteria were shipped back and forth between that facility and Fort Detrick, Md., on several occasions in the past several years, according to government officials and shipping records.

OMG GEGGY! WHO DID IT!? A) Bushy B) Rumsy C) Cheney D) Ashcrofsky E) Sharon F) Rumsy .... I can't wait for your answer. But wait, why is it nobody ever suspects it could be Condeleeeza? What? A black woman can't afford some stamps, and chemicals? Is that what you're trying to say? Rice isn't always white you know. They got brown rice too. I pick.... G) Rice!

I don't know who did it but look at the destinations of the anthrax laced letters were being sent to. Was it to silence the media from questioning 9/11? These letters were sent to the congress around the same time patriot act was signed so was it used as a tactic to force them into signing it?

By the way who do you think did it? And what evidence do you have?

Stick to the handbook Geggy. You're not trained for independent discourse yet, just keep disseminating the good word instead.

What does AlexRenseChomsky have to say about it?!
nevermind, you should put yourself to good use, and work on this instead.....

While, on the surface, this appears as nothing more than a shameless attempt to trivialize and thereby discredit the work of revisionists, it nonetheless got me to thinking: why did this historian single out the moon? Why would a scholar, so familiar with academic standards of evidence, use such language to imply that the existence of the moon, unlike any other issue, was a given and not subject to proof? What, in other words, was he trying to hide?

It was then that I embarked on my research, which has led me to this day when I can confidently make the following assertion: The Moon does not exist. As I realize this revelation may appear shocking to the average reader, allow me to repeat it:

The Moon does not exist!

This is no lie. Until recently, I, too, believed in the traditional, establishment view of the moon. But any thinking person, untainted by the biases imposed on us by the controlled media, will have no choice but to reach the conclusion I did once faced with the facts described in this account.
A cash reward of $100,000 has been offered to anyone who can send us, by e-mail, conclusive physical evidence of the existence of the moon. This reward remains unclaimed.
