I don't think there's anyone knowledgeable in the matter who
seriously believes the Anthrax letters weren't made and sent by an
American. Iraqis wanted to kill Tom Daschle? Give me a break.
They were the work of an oportunistic American dissident who saw
the chance to fool the public into thinking Arabs did it, and he
may be right that most of the public still thinks they were the work
of Arabs, but I don't think US law enforcement was fooled for long.

And contrary to another public belief, Anthrax is a pretty shitty
bio-weapon, and not a serious threat.
