The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001 (a week after the September 11, 2001 attacks). Letters containing anthrax bacteria were mailed to several news media offices and two U.S. Senators, killing five people and sickening seventeen others. The crime remains unsolved.

The anthrax was shown to be a stain used by the United States Army, after which the number of sudden microbiologist deaths tailed off (but not completely).
Incidently, they are making new germ weapons again, supposedly to "find out how to fight them if the enemy makes them".
The anthrax, the destruction of WTC-7, the fact that Darth Rumsfeld had been forced to acknowledge a few days before 9/11 that the D.o'D. had "lost" something like $2.5 trillion- and the accounting records were stored in the offices in the Pentagon that got hit on 9/11...

In Moscow, huge apartment blocks were being destroyed just in time to ratchet up popular support for Putin's crusade in Chechnya which as we have seen is still not over. It was established that the explosive used was a proprietary kind invented by the KGB and bags of it were found labelled as flour. The soldiers who found the bags were sent to suicide missions in Chechnya; suddenly the Russian media decided that nothing had happened or was worth remembering, excepting for independent filmmakers.
In the US, the US Army proprietary strain of anthrax that was sent to perceived-liberal targets in the media and government, with dummy powder sent to rightists for good measure, was traced back to a troubled lab at Ft Detrick. This lab was staffed by wild-eyed anti-Arab racists who caused an underreported scandal before the anthrax mailings by harassing an Arab coworker.
The FBI still has no idea who sent the US Army proprietary strain of anthrax, and stopped investigating years ago, although to be fair they're still trying to figure out how to work the cupholders in their computers.

back to OK City'
'The bomb Ramzi devised, which included a Casio watch, ordinary batteries, and a contact lens solution case for the explosive, would be undetectable at the airport without a tip-off or stroke of genius on the part of an inspector. Bojinka failed not because of a problem with the bomb but rather because of a screw-up—the fire in Ramzi's Manila kitchen brought in the Philippine police, who passed on some papers, including lists of airline flights and a computer, to U.S. officials. Ultimately, the design of the bomb was pieced together, and it became clear that such a device had been used in an attack on a Philippine Airline flight that killed one Japanese businessman but did not bring down the plane. The plot began to dissolve, and Ramzi was captured in an Islamabad guesthouse.' http://www.slate.com/id/2147498

Ruth: (repeated)
Pueblo tours
the pueblos themselves aren't terribly prepossessing...they just look pretty much like (poor) rural communities...
there's one group, called the Eight Northern Pueblos, north of Santa Fe: Tesuque, Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso (all within about 20 miles of Santa Fe), Santa Clara, San Juan, Picuris, and Taos...
then there are the Central Rio Grande pueblos: Cochiti (about half-way between SF and ABQ), Santa Domingo (just a little south of Cochiti), San Felipe (south still further); Sandia, which is just north of the city; all those are accessible from I-25; then there are Santa Ana, Zia & Jemez, which stretch out northwesterly toward Farmington...
to the south is Isleta, very close, about 15 miles south on I25
Laguna and Acoma are west about 35 miles alongside I-40:
If i were gonna recommend the sorta archetypal pueblo around here, i'd go to Acoma, Sky City, the oldest continuously inhabited place in North America. There are people up there all summer long. The chapel's bell was traded from Mexico in exchange for 30 children.
if i were going to go to only one pueblo, on a day when there was not going to be a feast, it would be Acoma, or Taos...

Eef joo would consider giving a small amount to ¡El Gato Negro! 's act blue page, GatoBlue, joo can help heem attain hees goal of 600$ recieved by September 5th, thus qualifying jour humble gato, to get a copy of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth".
¡El Gato Negro! has already recived 50$ towards thees goal from a generous Eschatonerro, and only has another 550$ to go.
Of course, joo should no feel pressured to geeve 50$, when Five dolares weel do nicely.
Remember, all the money goes to the GatoBlue Candidadas:
Three pro-choice women challenging corrupt incumbent Republiculos.
Por favor, help ¡El Gato Negro! ween a copy of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth", and Help ActBlue and Las Democratistas to veectory een November.

now interesting to me is why everyone freaked out about the DC snipers (i'm originally from that area, and i can tell you i was glad i'm not now), but no national hysteria over the phoenix sniper?
maybe bush has just turned the world into a seething cauldron, and we are acclimated... all terror, all the time, get used to it.

The cabinets episode raises important questions about the concerns some of Hatfill's colleagues have raised. Do they reflect, as some Hatfill acquaintances feared, suspicious actions and statements, or just the musings of an expert during an extraordinary time of public scrutiny in his very field of study? Were Hatfill's colleagues right to be concerned, or were they seized by the mood of paranoia then gripping the nation? By several accounts, Hatfill appears to believe that such speculations and the snooping of journalists cost him his job. Whether the FBI's assertion earlier this week that Hatfill is not a suspect in the case will quiet these suspicions remains to be seen.
Wonder if he was ever able to get another job?

Thees may no sound like much, but believe me, amigos thees ees gigantico.
Eef a rrred state like thees Nebraska ees seeing eet's support for los Republiculos sleep away, thees means there ees much room for hope, no?
Not only that, but the email went on to say that thees Republiculo corrupto een Nebraska, one Fortenberry, has had to call een help from D.C. to match fundraising.
First el Puerco Gordo Hastert, and now the apestoso Cheney, have been called een to help thees leetle corrrupt Republiculo to make up the fundraising gap.
BEIRUT, Lebanon -
Israel will halt its war in Lebanon at 7 a.m. Monday (midnight EDT Sunday night), a senior Israeli government official said Saturday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly on the sensitive matter. Israel's Cabinet was to endorse the U.N. cease-fire resolution later Sunday.

Oh, there will be such a travesty; you may rely on it. Sooner than later, I'll bet-- they won't let the seaweed grow under their feet like the producers of the "Titanic" musical did.
There won't be a dry eye in the house when they break into the climactic centerpiece: "Let's Roll", with its poignant lyrics, the minor-key duet between the doomed Beamer-analogue and the beautiful flight attendant, and the sinuous but eerily compelling choreography daringly incorporating traditional Muslim dance elements. One despises the wicked hijackers, of course, but... such grace!
It could be the next "Cats".

Let's not forget the murders of Patsy Mink and Paul Wellstone within a month of each other! After the Democrats-only anthrax attacks, they (the *real* terrorists) decided to make certain that their message was clear and so they went after the most liberal members of the House and Senate (which were Mink and Wellstone).
In case you've forgotten, go back and look at the legislation that the Dems meekly signed on to, doing whatever was required to keep themselves (and their families?) alive.

Also weird, since one of the microbiologists was "disappeared" from a conference in Memphis:
An employee of the Tennessee DMV who was under investigation in the months after 9/11 for helping some middle eastern types get fake drivers' licenses was found dead in her car at the side of the road. The car had been burned.
Lots and lots of weird "coincidences" abound regarding 9/11 and its aftermath. Personally, I think there were quite a few people killed to shut them up. Like the Enron guy found dead in his car.

This surprised me.
BERLIN (AP) - German novelist Guenter Grass admitted in an interview that he served in the Waffen SS, the combat arm of Adolf Hitler's dreaded paramilitary forces, during World War II, a German newspaper reported Friday.
Grass was asked why he was making the disclosure after so many years during an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, in which he discusses his new memoir about the war years to be published next month.
"It weighed on me," he said. "My silence over all these years is one of the reasons I wrote this book. It had to come out, finally."
Grass said he only felt shame after the war over having been in the Waffen SS. "At the time, no," he said. "Later this feeling of shame burdened me."
If you read the rest of the article, it says he was drafted into the SS, which was a pretty standard way to fill their ranks toward the end of the war. The division he was in wasn't formed until 1943 and didn't see action until March, 1944. Grass says that when he was drafted, at the age of 17, he reported to Dresden, where he found out he was in the SS. If he was 17, that would have been probably the late winter of 1945. According to the one source I found, the 10th SS Armored Div didn't move to the Dresden area until April, 1945.
Grass has always been a literary hero of mine.

Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, in power since May, has had little success in bringing the country’s rival factions together, and about 100 Iraqis die every day.
A suicide bomber killed 35 people on Thursday near one of the most revered sites in the Shiite world, the Imam Ali shrine in Najaf, in the bloodiest single attack since mid-July."

Afghanistan has seen a surge in violence this year, particularly in the south, where rebel supporters of the toppled Taliban regime have stepped up attacks, as Afghan and NATO-led troops try to drive insurgents out of their safe havens.

I was in Atrios's neck of the woods today (shopping at IKEA). I saw a bumper sticker that said piss of a liberal, but I decided to piss of a conservative by leaning my upper body out of the window and blasting them with two middle fingers. The look on Rethuglican faces when a Liberal fights back: Priceless. I also took the opportunity to scream "Fuck you, Geno's" at the top of my lungs while passing the establishment. It was a good day.

Saw the film S21, about the Hill of the Poisoned Trees, an interrogation center of the Khmer Rouge. An asshole in front of me having noisily arrived late, hyperventilating well after he'd sat for a while, wouldn't shut up about the communists and how much he hated them. It rapidly became clear that this was what I had found so hard to believe really happened in other discussions: a deliberate hater, trying to work himself into a froth over something that did not concern him like a masturbator. He was enjoying his self-righteous, purifyingly peasant rage against the sophisticated and corrupted legions of Pol Pot, viewing extermination as too good for them. At one time I honestly though it might be David Horowitz, because he has the same difficulty breathing, but this is very unlikely.
I honestly think that identifying the KR as "communists" makes exactly as much sense as insisting that my foreskin is Jewish, the rest of my penis Buddhist and the rest of my body other things.

"The thermometer crept up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday, which might not seem unbearably hot for Baghdad, but only if you’re lucky enough to own a generator big enough to power an air conditioner.
Most of Baghdad does not. The capital has not had power since yesterday, which is a long stretch even by Iraqi standards.
Most neighborhoods get at least a one - or two - hour reprieve a day, but since the inauguration of the new government, our Iraqi colleagues say, there have been many more days without electricity of any sort. "Even last year we would have a few hours of power," said an engineer."

Exactly why is power not restored to Baghdad now? Lack of infrastructure, fuel or continuing destruction of infrastructure? In my mind, if it is the latter, then things must not be going well. THen that makes the lack of power the canary in the coal mine.

Marine Corps. Colonel Thomas X. Hammes wrote in his book, The Sling and the Stone, that the Anthrax attacks might be evidence of 'Fifth-Generation Warfare'- acts by super-empowered individuals with highly resourceful technical and political skills to effect change in policy.
It's interesting to think about how this is probably the logical next step. As much as Rumsfeld and his Pentagon fluffers have emphasized the importance of technological transformation of the military, the military is still hierarchical, beaurocratic, and slow. IT and networking advancements only help real-time decision making to the extent that intelligence officers or commanders are able to learn and react quickly. In our system, technology is just a collection of toys that don't always make things more efficient.
Meanwhile, anyone in the world can get online access to shipping and airline schedules, building floorplans, structural data, policy documents, etc.
If anything, technology benefits non-hierarchy based networks more than anyone else.

Which makes law enforcement-style investigation and prosectution all the more important, as opposed to dumbshit military solutions.
But law enforcement doesn't get you KEWL green night-vision footage of bombs going off for CNN, so that's out.

The anthrax was a hit job by Karl Rove. Horribly cynical, yes. Still, it's a gut feeling I've long had. The fact that the government has made no effort to solve the crime has left me deeply suspicious.
It reminds me a little too much of the time Rove bugged the office of his own candidate (in the '80s) in order to create a political scandal. Despite common reality (it was clearly an inside job), the ploy worked.
Maybe it's just because I'm blaring Devo through the speakers. 'Nuff said.
