FBI fleshes out likely anthrax sender
Washington Times ^ | 11/10/01 | Jerry Seper and Guy Taylor

Posted on 11/09/2001 11:22:09 PM PST by kattracks

The FBI yesterday said three anthrax-laced letters sent to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, NBC News and the New York Post probably were written by the same person, an adult male who may have worked in a laboratory or has a scientific background.

Hmmm.
1st anthrax letter to a tabloid editor.
One letter to Brokaw, but nothing sent to Dan Rather?
Middle-aged, educated, loner male, not a Muslim, dislikes public confrontations.

Duh It's GARY CONDIT !

Remember it took almost 4 months for Condit to break his silence to Connie chung and he was obviously uncomfortable.

Authorities believe the letter writer also may have held a grudge against those to whom he sent the letters, although investigators have not yet determined what that grievance might have been.

Hmm, maybe they should have tried reading the letter.

I'm with you. The fact that some the terrorists of the 11th were based in New Jersey and outside of Boca Raton is too much of a coincidence for me. (I understand law enforcement is taught not to believe in concidences.) Also, Jonah Goldberg's theory that someone initally misunderstood their orders and targeted American Media rather than the american media is pretty telling. I'm afraid the authorities are barking up the wrong tree by not tying this to the tragedy of the 11th. I'd be checking records for visa holders that have worked at labs or universities that have anthrax study capacities.

Contrary to what you might have heard, no ordinary university lab could have produced the milled, coated anthrax sent to Daschle. The anthrax was produced by a state. It is not hard to guess which state.

No, no. Isolated wacko. Buy some doughnuts at the new KrispyKreme, move along...
I find it HILARIOUS that the anthrax was obviously manufactured before the attacks, released immediately afterwards, and people in areas with suspected links to the hijackers(and terrorists in general) come down with the disease, yet we're looking for "loners."

I love how they have these profilers, who always trot out the same profile for every crime that isn't a gangland hit, and act like they have something for us.

Um, I don't know guys, you think maybe if the anthrax has an additive that is only found in a few state labs, and that the wife of one of the editors of Amer. Media rented out an apartment to two of these guys, might mean that you can't blame it on those darn militia and/or wacko-types that you like to incinerate, or whose women you like to snipe?

Granted. And I suspect that state has ties with Bin Laden. Yet, the anthrax was mailed within the United States and the perpetrator could very well still be here.
Incidentally, I write in all capitals and express true capitals by writing them a bit larger than the rest. It is a habit I picked up about 15 years ago trying to emulate the very legible writing of an engineer/draftsman in my office. This practice reduces error in the field.

If I remember correctly, a female in Rather's office contracted cutaneous anthrax on her face from a letter sent to Rather. Rather also stated on national TV that the anthrax infection was "unresponsive to penicillin," but as far as I know, the female is now OK after treatment with Cipro.

Gee, I wonder.......
(10-19-01) News Max U.S. Tightens Travel Restrictions for Cuban diplomats in D.C. (Text) WASHINGTON (AP) - The government has tightened travel restrictions on Cuban diplomats working in Washington, the State Department said Friday. Officials based at the Cuban Interests Section will have to give the government 72 hours' notice if they want to travel outside a 273-square-mile area around Washington, deputy spokesman Philip Reeker said.

Previously the travel limit was 1,961 square miles.

The changes were made to conform with travel restrictions that U.S. diplomats have faced in Havana, Reeker said. They took effect Tuesday.

There was no explanation for the timing of the changes. The Bush administration has advocated a tougher line with Fidel Castro's communist government than the Clinton administration had.

The new restrictions will limit the free movement of Cuban diplomats generally to the area inside the Capital Beltway, the highway that surrounds Washington. That's roughly a 10-mile radius from the White House and includes areas of Virginia and Maryland. The Cubans also will be allowed to travel outside the Beltway to Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

Those wishing to travel outside the restricted area may do so by giving 72 hours' notice. They can travel if the government does not object.

There was no immediate comment from the Cuban Foreign Ministry in Havana or the Cuban Interests Section.

Cuba and the United States do not have diplomatic relations, so the interests sections serve as the equivalent of embassies. The State Department said Cuba has 25 diplomats in Washington, and the United States has 52 in Havana.

Did you all know that al Qaeda has infiltrated the US Army Green Berets and the JFK Special Warfare school at Ft. Bragg? Wouldn't surprise me if they have someone in Central Command at MacDill, either (Tampa). There's also a good possibility they infiltrated Patrick AFB too in Melbourne, Florida (where the US State Dept. bases their drug crop-dusters).

(Dec 2001) Insight Magazine Fidel May Be Part of Terror Campaign--[Excerpt] Three Afghani nationals and suspected al-Qaeda members caught trying to deposit $2 million in a bank in the Cayman Islands last August were found to have entered the British colony on a commercial flight from nearby Cuba using false Pakistani passports. British authorities who arrested the three men believe that they were handling drug proceeds laundered in Havana.
Colombia's former national police chief, Gen. Rosso José Serrano, maintains that Cuba also has facilitated contacts between radical Muslim militants and leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas. Serrano says that about 100 Afghanis have entered Colombia during the last decade to introduce cultivation of heroin poppies in guerrilla-held areas. An Egyptian terrorist belonging to al-Gamal al-Islamiya - who was wanted in connection with the 1997 massacre of 80 Western tourists near Cairo - entered Colombia illegally in 1998 to hold talks with FARC and was arrested and turned over to U.S. authorities.

Cuban biological/chemical-warfare technology also has been detected in Colombia. A FARC bomb that burned out the lungs of an entire police garrison in the Colombian town of San Adolfo last September contained chlorine-based poison gas, according to a lab analysis of the device. Some 20 Cuban military advisers currently are operating with FARC, according to Colombian army intelligence. It also has intercepted guerrilla radio communications in which FARC's military commander, Jorge Briceno, alias "Mono Jojoy," talks about forming an "anti-imperialist front" to launch terrorist attacks against targets in the United States. "To take away their economic resources wherever they may be, reach into North America and get to their own territory," says Briceno, "to make them feel the pain which they have inflicted on others."

In September, meanwhile, as Montes frantically transmitted information to her DGI spymasters through Cuba's mission to the United Nations, according to an FBI affidavit, Castro was ordering a military alert in Cuba and calling up reserves. A CIA psychiatric profiler who has studied Castro's personality believes that the Cuban dictator was displaying "geriatric overexertion." But top intelligence specialists tell Insight that Castro may have had reasons to fear a possible U.S. retaliation when President George W. Bush declared his war on terrorism. [End Excerpt]--Much more in column.

Exactly Raven; it doesn't say "not a Muslim" anywhere; in fact, this personality type sounds like the unbalanced terrorist. They have also not ruled out ties to terrorist groups, and that strikes me as the most likely.
I've always thought it was someone in or tied to the terrorists. Just where does the average deviant personality type come up with anthrax, and the finely tuned version more specifically?

With all that they know, it points more and more conclusively at someone involved with terrorism. (Loose slips slink hips) does anybody really believe this latest craze that top secret military info is being dumped here? What a hoot!

Hmm, maybe they should have tried reading the letter.
Let me add to the speculation pot.

1. The leading zeros in the date formation ("09-11-01") tell me the writer is more likely to use a computer for writing than pen and paper. He/she/it may even be a computer geek.

2. The formation of the 1's indicates deliberate composition, as though this were more a work of art than a work of writing. Again, I think it means this individual seldom communicates by handwriting. (This would tend to rule out doctors, nurses or students, where handwriting is used intensively.)

3. The "can not" could indicate that English is the second language of the writer or that poor language skills are evident. I have no proof other than personal observation, but I can say that over the twenty years that I've been involved, some of the most brilliant computerists I've known have been the poorest spellers and grammarians.

Once again the FBI throws up a smokescreen. All that's going on here is a justification for the misuse of limited FBI resources.
Someone inside the FBI working for alQeda keeps setting them up to run down the wrong trail.

This stuff was undoubtedly all entered into the mail BEFORE 9/11. The late delivery is readily explained through examination of normal processes, one of which is the abominable service afforded single-piece First-Class Mail not directed to a corporate remittance box.

Since the alQeda agent knows that the perpetrator is not a blue-eyed blond white male, they know that this pursuit will never end as long as the FBI and others are led to believe that there is a domestic source.

Here's where to look inside the FBI to find Osama Bin Lade's secret agent:

1. among the ranks of everyone who received a promotion into FBI headquarters over the last 5 years

2. within that category, everyone with a Middle-Eastern connection by marriage, residency or blood-ties.

3. within that category, any FBI agent or other FBI employee to receive a recommendation at any stage of his or her career from former Representative Bonier.

Should be easy to find them, and no doubt this person, or these persons, will be in a position to suggest profiles for the perpetrator.

Releasing this information to the public must have been approved at the very highest levels. Who has the responsibility for oversight of the FBI? Is it the Attorney General or the Solicitor General? Ashcroft or Olsen? I gather you think one of them is failing to do his job. Which one?

So, who would buy into this profile? In the absence of alternatives, e.g. the one that includes Mr. Atta and two of the other hijackers in the show, plus valid analysis of the actual workings of the mail system, the top people at Justice probably feel there's no choice.
So the development of the profile has to be at a lower level, and it has to be done by someone who is exceedingly biased against Americans or very pro-Osama Bin Laden.

I'm not supposed Ashcroft and Olsen came up with the profile, but you'd expect they'd have wanted it cleared with them before it was made public, and you'd expect they'd ask all the tough questions and insist on good answers before they'd agree to it.

Neither one of them is prepared to ask the right questions about how the mail system works - as far as they know carriers deliver mail and clerks sell stamps.
There's a lot more to it than that. No doubt Al Qeda has an agent placed high up in the Justice Department ranks.

I have no idea at all regarding their competency, but I think the top guys in Justice and FBI think the anthrax business is too small a deal to really work on it.
It is very clear to all informed people that the FBI has yet to tap into the Postal Service's cadre of highly qualified and experienced mail flow analysts to come up with some answers.

Quite true, but in the Unabomber days at least the FBI wasn't yet so infested with political correctness that they went after innocent guys on the word of some nutty ultra left-wing college professor with a grudge. The Clinton administration really turned the FBI to crap, along with pretty much everything else it touched.

Furthermore, even though their odds of catching the perp were always long at best, the FBI seriously bungled this case right from the beginning by proceeding under the false assumption that the anthrax had to have been stolen from Ft. Detrick, when in actuality nothing could be further from the truth.

It's not much to go on but here's the curious coincidental phrase. (Were it me writing a warning label I'd write "RICIN" with a skull and crossbones - or at the most, add on the word "poison. Or I'd write "RICIN - POISONOUS," or "Ricin : poisonous/toxic." I just think that though it's certainly possible, it is a bit odd if it was two different people who came up with the same three word phrase for the same substance.)

To: Fitzcarraldo; prisoner6
From Fitzcarraldo's article: [on Seattle Alberg case]
Also found were clear jars with black lids containing material that is consistent with processed castor seeds. The jars were labeled "caution ricin poison."
Notice the same exact English usage in the individual who labeled the mailed ricin :

OCTOBER 15 + NOVEMBER 6, 2003 : (MAIL FACILITIES SERVING GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG AIRPORT & THE WHITE HOUSE DISCOVER LETTERS SIGNED "FALLEN ANGEL" CONTAINING THE TOXIN RICIN) .a mysterious "Fallen Angel" who sent two threatening letters containing ricin. ...typewritten letters addressed to the White House and Transportation Department warned that more ricin would be used unless new federal trucking regulations were scrapped. The change in 60-year-old rules governing how often truck drivers must rest [will go into] effect January 4.[2004] ...letters signed "Fallen Angel." Those letters were discovered in mail facilities that serve the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina and the White House. They were found October 15 and November 6, respectively, though the existence of the White House letter was not disclosed by the Bush administration until Tuesday [Feb 3, 2004].
The letters, described as nearly identical, claimed that the author owned a tanker truck fleet company and demanded that hours of service rules for drivers remain unchanged, according to the FBI. The FBI said the South Carolina letter was contained in an envelope with a typewritten warning "Caution RICIN POISON."
The letter included claims that the author could make much more ricin and would "start dumping" if the new regulations weren't abolished. The envelope contained no delivery address and no postmark.
No one has fallen ill as a result of any of the letters. Ricin is a highly toxic substance that is relatively easy to make from castor beans. There is no known antidote but ricin is considered a less effective weapon for causing mass casualties than anthrax, which was mailed to Senate offices in late 2001, because it is more difficult to make airborne and requires inhalation of large quantities to be fatal. - "'Fallen Angel' letters focus of ricin probeAuthor threatens to make ricin and 'start dumping' it," CNN ,Thursday, February 5, 2004

Homeland Security seems much more interested in political correctness and shaking down granny than in boosting its ability to respond to real threats.
Homeland security is acting like they do not believe that the threat is real in general. They shake down granny in public, but do little on the borders. One of these days the Islamics are going to suprise them and do something. Homeland "Security" is a 27 legged pork barrel with shredded constitution for fodder.

Of course you're confused by this. Why wouldn't anybody who has attempted to follow this story not be confused? With my tinfoil hat firmly in place, dare I say "cover-up"?

I'm confused by this story. I thought we had learned it had been a case of a "false positive" and now we're being told instead the anthrax is the same anthrax as the prior cases???
Am I missing something?

...it's almost a certainty the government will not be truthful when the next attack begins.
Why should we believe they're being truthful even before the next attack?

I can't say I'm overjoyed to see anthrax back in the news.

After Washington Redskins football, the blame game is by far the next most popular game here in Washington D.C. This ball's going to go back and forth over the net a few more times before this one's all over.

An investigation is likely warranted, but nobody's going to ever be able to successfully convince me that Commonwealth Biotechnologies is somehow responsible for causing two significantly improved biosensors to go off in two separate but nearby DoD facilities at virtually the same time.

I tend to side with this guy Harris. He actually has accountability (he doesn't work for the Federal Government who's employees appear to have zero accountability). If Harris is wrong in his statement he will be fired as CEO of his private company.

An example of a Federal Employee with zero accountability is the guy who made the statement below last week. He was assistant secretary of defense for health affairs last week, and likely he'll still be assistant secretary of defense for health affairs next week.

"We had some preliminary results that were positive but subsequent additional tests have determined that the sample that we had was in fact negative," said Dr. William Winkenwerder, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs.

Roundup: Powder briefly closes senator's office; new caucus focuses on women's health

Powdery mail briefly closes senator's office

A senator's office was closed to visitors for about 30 minutes Monday after an aide opened a piece of mail containing a white powder.

Shortly before 10 a.m., Department of Public Safety troopers briefly quarantined seven aides to Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, in Ellis' office on the Capitol's third floor.

Ellis' spokesman, Jeremy Warren, said the quarantine ended once investigators determined that the substance was more likely baby powder or flour than something lethal.

"It was nothing," Warren said, adding that aides were back to work within an hour.

Ellis was in his Austin apartment at the time, Warren said.

"It's the worry in the back of every government staffer's mind that something like what happened (in Sen. Tom Daschle's office in Washington) could happen. We're just going to try to get through the day as best we can."

In October 2001, a Daschle aide opened mail with a trace of powder believed at the time to be anthrax, leading to a quarantine and antibiotic treatments for 50 staff members.

State briefs: Suspicious powder closes Roane courthouse

The Roane County Courthouse was closed yesterday after a suspicious powder was found in the main hallway, authorities said.

The Roane County hazardous materials team and the Tennessee National Guard's 45th Civil Support Team collected samples and determined the substance was not a biological agent.

The powder was discovered at 9:45 a.m. Local emergency officials, fearing it might be either anthrax or ricin, evacuated the courthouse and called the hazardous materials team and the Guard unit, which specializes in biological substance testing.

The courthouse was expected to reopen for business as usual this morning.

My opinion: most of these "white powder letters" are probably being mailed by assorted sickos who get their jollies from this sort of thing, and most likely not associated in any way with the real deal. But in the current climate of world affairs, I do think we have to treat all of these with the utmost seriousness and caution initially.

Has anyone read this book?

Analyzing The Anthrax Attacks
by Edward G. Lake

"Best written review of a complex investigation, March 15, 2005"

Reviewer: Les Rayburn - See all my reviews

Highly recommended for anyone seeking to gain a better understanding of the complex investigation into the Anthrax attacks of 2001. Ed Lakes does a yeoman's job in compiling all that can be known about the investigation from hundreds of open source documents.

Mr. Lake also presents a working hypothesis of who the criminal(s) behind the attacks might be. His theory relies almost entirely on media reports and scientific discussion of the case, rather than the type of wild speculation others often resort to. You might disagree with his conclusions, but you'll find them difficult to debate without straying from the confines of what is really known about the case.

This book will also be fascinating to anyone who is interested in the new breed of journalism evolving from the web. Ed Lake is part blogger, part amateur sleuth, and part journalist.

His methods ofen involve combing through hundreds of open source articles about part of the case, looking for unique quotes, local angles, or other under-reported details. Then he combines those details to infer things that the mainstream media might have missed. It's a textbook for the new journalist, and should be required reading for researchers.

Also unique is that Mr. Lake gives permission for his critics to say, "I told you so", if his theory about the case is later proven wrong. You may disagree with his hypothesis, but it's hard to argue with his passion for the case.

An insightful book into one of the most important criminal cases in American History.

Hannity, O'Reilly Hit by Anthrax Scare Letters

"In addition to the letters with an Indianapolis postmark, "one or two were from Trenton (N.J.)"

Fox News Channel personalities Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly were hit by threatening letters similar to those laden with anthrax sent to Sen. Tom Daschle and NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw, the New York Post reported Thursday.

"In my gut, I know it's the same person," Hannity told his nationally syndicated radio audience Thursday afternoon, explaining that he'd kept quiet about the suspicious letters because they were the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation.

The letters arrived before Sept. 11 but were addressed in the same kind of block letter handwriting used in Daschle and Brokaw missives. They apparently contained no anthrax.

Each line in the printed address clearly sloped downward to the right, the paper said. The envelopes bore a postmark from Indianapolis, where the Post Office discovered yesterday that some of its equipment is contaminated with anthrax.

Hannity said that he'd begun receiving the suspicious mail last winter and again in August.

"When I saw the Tom Daschle envelope and the Tom Brokaw envelope, I immediately was stunned," Hannity told listeners.

"It was the exact same handwriting that I had recognized. ... When I saw it I said, 'Oh my God, that's the same guy.'"

The "Hannity & Colmes" co-host revealed that in addition to the letters with an Indianapolis postmark,

"one or two were from Trenton (N.J.)," where traces of anthrax have also been reported.

Hannity said he hasn't gotten any more of the letters since the Sept. 11 attacks and hasn't been tested for anthrax exposure.

THE LETTER

October 14, 2001

Fear Hits Newsroom in a Cloud of Powder

By JUDITH MILLER

It looked like baby powder. A cloud of hospital white, sweet- smelling powder rose from the letter dusting my face, sweater and hands. The heavier particles dropped to the floor, falling on my pants and shoes. An anthrax hoax, I thought.

My mind had been on something else. At my desk at The New York Times, I was already focused on what I thought was going to be the story of the day: the Bush administration's effort to seize the assets of more people and groups it said supported terrorism. It was after 9:15 a.m. on Friday, and Treasury Secretary Paul H. O'Neill would soon begin discussing the list of 39 additions to his agency's roster of rogue financiers of terror. I was on the phone, talking to Jeff Gerth, my colleague and friend, about the article we were planning to write. As we spoke, I was picking my way through the pile of unopened mail beside my computer.

I had been getting many letters since Sept. 11. Some were complimentary; others were angry about the government's failure to protect Americans from terrorism. But most writers wanted to know how they could protect themselves and their families from bioterrorism, having seen two colleagues and me on television discussing our book, "Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War."

Had I not been distracted, I probably would not have opened the stamped letter in the plain white envelope with no return address and a postmark from St. Petersburg, Fla. My sources and I had been discussing the threat of anthrax attacks ever since the death of a man this month who contracted an inhaled form of the disease at a newspaper office in Boca Raton, Fla. not far from where one of the hijackers of the Sept. 11 attacks had done his flight training.

But I wasn't thinking. I was rushed, absorbed in my work, and only half paying attention to the mail.

The powder got my full attention. I immediately asked the reporters and editors around me to call security. I didn't want to touch the phone.......

"no behavior to profile"

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

Based on the selection of Anthrax as the "weapon" of choice by this individual, the offender:

• is likely an adult male.

• if employed, is likely to be in a position requiring little contact with the public, or other employees. He may work in a laboratory. He is apparently comfortable working with an extremely hazardous material. He probably has a scientific background to some extent, or at least a strong interest in science.

• has likely taken appropriate protective steps to ensure his own safety, which may include the use of an Anthrax vaccination or antibiotics.

• has access to a source of Anthrax and possesses knowledge and expertise to refine it.

• possesses or has access to some laboratory equipment; i.e., microscope, glassware, centrifuge, etc.

• has exhibited an organized, rational thought process in furtherance of his criminal behavior.

• has a familiarity, direct or indirect, with the Trenton, NJ, metropolitan area; however, this does not necessarily mean he currently lives in the Trenton, NJ, area.. He is comfortable traveling in and around this locale.

• did not select victims randomly. He made an effort to identify the correct address, including zip code, of each victim and used sufficient postage to ensure proper delivery of the letters. The offender deliberately "selected" NBC News, the New York Post, and the office of Senator Tom Daschle as the targeted victims (and possibly AMI in Florida). These targets are probably very important to the offender. They may have been the focus of previous expressions of contempt which may have been communicated to others, or observed by others.

• is a non-confrontational person, at least in his public life. He lacks the personal skills necessary to confront others. He chooses to confront his problems "long distance" and not face-to-face. He may hold grudges for a long time, vowing that he will get even with "them" one day. There are probably other, earlier examples of this type of behavior. While these earlier incidents were not actual Anthrax mailings, he may have chosen to anonymously harass other individuals or entities that he perceived as having wronged him. He may also have chosen to utilize the mail on those occasions.

• prefers being by himself more often than not. If he is involved in a personal relationship it will likely be of a self serving nature.

Pre-Offense Behavior

• Following the events of September 11, 2001, this person may have become mission oriented in his desire to undertake these Anthrax mailings. He may have become more secretive and exhibited an unusual pattern of activity. Additionally, he may have displayed a passive disinterest in the events which otherwise captivated the Nation. He also may have started taking antibiotics unexpectedly.

Post-Offense Behavior

• He may have exhibited significant behavioral changes at various critical periods of time throughout the course of the Anthrax mailings and related media coverage. These may include the following;

1. Altered physical appearance.
2. Pronounced anxiety.
3. Atypical media interest.
4. Noticeable mood swings.
5. More withdrawn.
6. Unusual level of preoccupation.
7. Unusual absenteeism.
8. Altered sleeping and/or eating habits.

These post-offense behaviors would have been most noticeable during critical times, including but not limited to: the mailing of the letters (09/18/01 and 10/09/01), the death of first Anthrax victim, media reports of each anthrax incident, and especially the deaths and illnesses of non-targeted victims.

BioWar: Anthrax cross-contamination? (World)

World News, By DEE ANN DIVIS, Senior Science & Technology Editor WASHINGTON, March 16 : Buildings are reopening and officials at the Pentagon and in nearby Fairfax County, Va.,, with a stack of negative test results in their hands, are sending bioterrorism task forces home after responding to three positive anthrax test results this week.

On Wednesday, there appeared to be no remaining threat -- and it was not even clear if there ever was a threat.Despite the reduction in anxiety, however, there simply is not enough information yet to really say what happened.That's a problem.There needs to be more questions and more answers.

What has been confirmed is that swabs were taken of surfaces at a detached mail facility on the Pentagon grounds last Thursday.Those swabs were sent, as were swabs taken the next day, to a facility in Richmond for testing.The whole process is a routine precautionary procedure.

The Richmond facility reported the samples taken Thursday were positive for anthrax and test results on the Friday samples were negative.Those test results were not reported back to the Pentagon until Monday, however, and no explanation has yet been offered for the delay.A Pentagon official told United Press International it may have had something to do with the intervening weekend and was being investigated.

The original samples from Thursday on Monday were sent to the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md.,, which confirmed the presence of anthrax -- marking a second positive test.

Also on Monday, once the first tests results were received, the Pentagon shut down the mail facility, tested employees for exposure, and gave them health advice with the option of taking a three-day regime of antibiotics.A few hours later on Monday, a separate alarm sounded at a mail facility in a complex of three buildings in Fairfax County.The buildings at 5109, 5111 and 5113 Leesburg Pike -- also known as Skyline 4, 5 and 6 -- are interconnected.Officials responding to the alert shut down all the buildings, holding everyone inside until well into the evening.They also shut down at least one nearby building -- not connected to the other three -- at 5107 Leesburg Pike.An interview with a Pentagon official Monday night supports subsequent news reports that Fairfax County initially was unaware of what had happened that day at the Pentagon.Fairfax County officials were again surprised Tuesday night when Dr. William Winkenwerder, assistant defense secretary for health affairs, told reporters some 70 negative tests had cleared both the Pentagon and the Skyline facilities -- an assertion repeated to UPI by a DOD spokesman.A Fairfax County official Wednesday morning, however, disagreed that the Skyline facilities were cleared of the anthrax threat.

"The Skyline protocol is continuing and there are still tests pending at Skyline," said Merni Fitzgerald, spokeswoman for both Fairfax County and the National Capitol Region Joint Information Center.The clear lack of communication, especially after the fuss made in recent years over intergovernmental coordination, highlights an area that clearly needs work.Far more important, however, is getting to the bottom of the alerts themselves.It still is possible the alarms were caused by mail cross-contaminated with anthrax.

The two alerts at the Pentagon and at Skyline are separate -- connected perhaps, but apparently distinct.That difference is important because of a theory suggested to reporters by an unnamed federal official to explain the Pentagon alarm.The official said the actual cause of the alert at the Pentagon might be contamination of the sample at the Richmond lab.The contamination would have been from anthrax kept at the lab to verify testing.The alert that happened at Skyline, however, based on conversations with officials and news reports, does not appear to be based on samples that went through the Richmond lab.Instead, it was triggered Monday by an automated sensing system on location.If this is indeed accurate -- and officials have not responded to repeated questions on the matter -- then contamination in Richmond does not appear to be the likely cause of the Skyline alert.What then, triggered the alarm that got hundreds of people locked in their offices for hours? A clue might be found in the mail flow.There are at least two places where the mail could have become cross-contaminated.

A Pentagon spokesman told UPI Monday night that mail from the facility on the Pentagon grounds was sent to the Skyline facility.Mail from the Pentagon would be sent to Skyline as those buildings are leased by the Department of Defense and military personnel work there.A Washington official also told UPI that Defense Department mail was processed at a facility on V Street in Northeast Washington.Mail for both the Pentagon and Skyline could have passed through that same location.That post office was closed temporarily this week specifically because it handled Defense Department mail.Workers there also were given the option of taking antibiotics.There does not appear to be any health risk from the mail, which was irradiated before it reached either the Pentagon or Skyline buildings.Irradiation removes the health risk but not the anthrax.The sensors at Skyline and at the Pentagon would have altered on irradiated anthrax mail, officials said.

People shouldn't get too comfortable, however.Two separate alarms at Defense Department facilities on the same mail route in a matter of days seem like a pretty big coincidence.The questions should not be allowed to drop from the public view.

Va. To Lead Review of Anthrax Scares

Richmond Times-Dispatch Mar 22, 2005

Virginia will lead a regional review of what happened -- and what failed to happen -- during a false alarm last week over the possible presence of anthrax at two Defense Department mail centers in Northern Virginia.

The state will work with Maryland and the District of Columbia to examine the response by state and local governments to two "apparently unrelated events" that raised the specter of a reappearance of the deadly bacterium in federal mailrooms.

The review will occur at the same time as an investigation led by the Department of Homeland Security into federal agencies' response to and communication about the two events.

Once the two reviews are completed, the federal task force and the panel led by Virginia will "take the data and marry it into a complete picture," said George W. Foresman, special assistant for commonwealth preparedness to Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner. He expects that to happen in a matter of weeks.

So we'll have to wait a few weeks to see what really happened; if we'll really hear the truth.

What the articles do NOT tell us is the type of technique and what the test was for.

What were they testing for?

And you just can't say ANTHRAX. You have to say were they testing for viable spores, DNA snippets off the spore coat, would a spore coat with no viable spore inside set off the automatic device??? Did they use surface swabs or were they testing the air. All this is very important before you start scaring the unwashed masses with alarms and sirens. I am glad this has boiled the cauldron over and we are talking about this again. I HAVE A LOT TO SAY. I agree that they should never have genotype 62 as the control for this initial screening situation. The chances of cross contamination in the lab is ever present. But I do think that this is a tiny bit of spore coat that is left over as Freeper Muawiyah has suggested. He knows a lot about the mail and also understands biology

Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. Completes Internal Review of Procedures; Source of Positive Test Sample May Never be Known with Certainty

BIOWIRE2K

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2005--In its role as subcontractor, Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBTE) reported a positive test outcome for the presence of B. anthracis cultured from a swab taken from a pre-filter in the remote mail sorting facility located at the Pentagon on Thursday, March 10, 2005. CBI provided these results to its contracting officer in a timely way on Friday, March 11, and then reported the results of confirmatory testing done over the weekend of March 12 to its contracting officer on Monday, March 14. The positive nature of this particular test sample was subsequently confirmed in two independent federal laboratories. However, additional tests of swabs taken from the same filters have all been negative.

Since then, there has been public speculation as to the possibility that the source of the positive test outcome was laboratory contamination of the test sample which took place in CBI's laboratory. Because the March 10 swab sample tested positive, CBI conducted a rigorous internal audit of its administrative and laboratory processes to try and ascertain whether the test outcome was the result of inadvertent laboratory cross-contamination. This review process has now been completed.

Statement by Dr. Robert B. Harris, President and CEO of CBI

"In the past two years, CBI has tested more than 2,000 individual samples taken from the remote mail sorting facility at the Pentagon. In addition, since 2000 when its BSL3 lab came on-line, CBI has conducted laboratory experiments and analyses on more than 34,000 samples containing anthrax, DNA from anthrax, and other noxious biological agents. In all this time, there has never been one instance of a false-positive result due to laboratory contamination or due to any other factor. While contamination is always a possibility, CBI has in place and enforces rigorous operating procedures and quality assurance protocols focused on minimizing the likelihood of sample cross-contamination within its BSL3 laboratory. "

In the last week, CBI's quality assurance group has conducted an extensive review of our administrative and laboratory procedures and has re-examined our facility for the presence of viable environmental pathogens. None of these tests has come back positive. Among the findings of this review:

-- There is no evidence in the BSL3 for the presence of surface contamination or air-borne contamination.

-- At the time of the sample processing for the Pentagon, no other anthrax-related work was being done.

-- CBI has no on-going work which requires us to work with anything but the vegetative form of anthrax.

-- CBI has no on-going programs dealing with anthrax spores.

-- CBI's strict protocols which prohibit analyzing test samples in the presence of a positive control sample were strictly adhered to.

-- Video records of the BSL3 lab on the day in question show that the testing was carried out per the operative protocols, that the required decontamination procedures of the workspace prior to working with the sample were followed, and that no gross deviations in standard procedures occurred.

-- The internal review process also recommended minor modifications to the procedures and protocols used for analysis of these test samples. These changes, which have already been implemented, can only serve to improve CBI's overall process.

"While contamination cannot ever be absolutely ruled out, there is no evidence which directly links the positive test outcome to surface-to-sample, sample-to-sample, or air-to-sample contamination. Unfortunately, the source of the positive sample may never be known with certainty. From CBI's point of view, we did our jobs and faithfully reported the positive test result to our contractor. We have a legal and contractual obligation to report these results, regardless of the underlying reason a sample tests positive. In light of the outcome of our internal review, CBI stands behind the results it provided. After CBI reported its results to its contractor, CBI had no influence on any subsequent decisions. CBI will continue to fully cooperate with all appropriate authorities and will help in any way to further any on-going investigations."

Intellibridge Analyst Team

"Let me try to summarise this report:

[1] CBI tested their 10 Mar samples, and on 11 Mar informed the prime contractor of the positive results that day. The latter told them to keep looking. Pentagon was informed on 14 Mar by the contractor.

[2] USAMRIID says that the samples directly from the mail facility were negative but the samples from the contractor were positive.

[3] The CEO/President of CBI says that their laboratory identified their positives as being "Ames", which he says "was not surprising ... because it is the most common strain."

What fun! Investigation will in due course determine where the "positive samples" originated, presumably withembarrassment in one quarter or another. And we now have the FBI analysing samples.

To claim that "Ames" is the most common strain must reflect that most US research laboratories now insist on having it, out of laboratory testosterone presumably.

Why a surveillance laboratory might have this culture on hand surpasses all understanding -- when there is
always the risk of cross-contamination. Apropos, in my lab we not only kept it very, very clean but never ever allowed Sterne anywhere near because of its ability to fly around -- it was the most common contaminant in archival collections sent to us.

If a laboratory must have a culture on hand for quality control, it would be logical to most people to use a most infrequent isolate, say "C," which has only been found once and has no close relatives. If a "positive" arose, a quick check would show whether it was an in-house contaminant.

To be very charitable, it is less than wise to use Ames, which already has a Post Office reputation for trouble.

This is a little bit more information that I find interesting.

They tested the filters again, the ones that tested positive the first time (assuming PCR not viable test) and got a negative.

But the two independent labs got pos. also.

Similar in Kathy N. and Otillie's cases, although I think they did find a little something in the distribution center for Otillie.

It is the nature of the beast. It is not like a trail of ants that connects for all to see.

I'm working on it. Advise asap. Still could be contaminated mail tubs, dust with some old spore coats, as Freeper Muawiyah says, a lot of stuff was put into storage just after 9-11 because it was no longer needed. The mail went down quickly. That is where some of the $$$$ reward supposedly will come from, a company that depended on the mail for business. If some of this was put into storage contaminated before anyone knew it was contaminated, in other words, in the system, then contaminated, then away from the prime location when decontamination took place, then, NOW, put back into circulation when we have all this high powered equipment sensors in place....well you can figure it out.

I've had my claim in on this part of it for several years.
Odds are if you had a disgruntled white male scientist with a private bacteriological warfare lab out there, he would have struck again by now.

He didn't, therefore we must presume he doesn't exist.

Then, too, if there were a gang of A-rabs out there just busting a gut to attack us with anthrax that first time, they'd done it again except for 3 important facts:

1. They're all dead

2. Afghanistan is ours.

3. Iraq is ours.

The FBI wasted three years of everyone's time misdirecting the search. Somebody over there was working for Saddam, sure as heck, and got a lot of money for it, and we know that because that's the way Saddam worked!

Might be time to ask him.

Good discussion. Everyone should jump in.

I agree that there never was a lone, white, male, etc etc. I think the FBI wanted to pin this on the next in line lone, white, male and dust off their hands and say...We got our man!!

They are protecting .....something.... They have the authority to dig anywhere and everywhere.

But the Arabs.....How long did the same batch wait to hit the WTC?? 93 to 01. A long time. Yeah they had hits in between, but everyone agrees that they are patient.

They are indeed busy in A. and I. (I cut off part of my finger and can't type all that stuff)

I want to find a Freeper that has an expertise in weaponry.

If two sides are fighting and one side appears to be losing, will that side have sequestered a secret weapon. One that they would only use as a last ditch, one that could endanger them as well as their opponent?

Didn't we do that with the bombs on Japan??

Testing was for viable spores. Testing was needed because the detectors did what they were supposed to do:sounded an alarm, and shut down the mail processing machinery.

Bottom line:There seems to have been a new anthrax attack:this one aimed at the Pentagon.

So was there a positive for a viable spore????

Was there any extra viable spores to C-14 to tell how long they had been made??? Still could be left overs from the first one if it is a Freeper Muawiyah says...could have been stored.

If they got genotype 62 as the unknown and the CBI lab did not have that..,..then we are getting somewhere, not far..

The classic response to that from the Barbara Hatch Rosenbergs and other lefties out there would be to say that his goal was to either get us to go to war in the Middle East, to take seriously the bioterrorism threat and build better civil defense measures, or perhaps even both, and that there haven't been more letters because he accomplished those goals. The truly psychotic ultra-far lefties might even say that Steven Hatfill is really the perp and that there haven't been more letters because of the tight surveillance he's been under for the last three years.

Content in Boca's AMI building set for anthrax decontamination

12,000 boxes will be cleaned

a memorial to Stevens will be built

By Luis F. Perez
Posted March 24 2005

Boca Raton -- After months of delays, the company that decontaminated the former American Media Inc. building of anthrax is poised to fumigate the contents, including the priceless photo archives that once belonged to the tabloid publisher.

The cleanup stalled amid a dispute about who owns irreplaceable photos taken by freelance photographers, including images of James Cagney, Cary Grant, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Princess Diana and Elvis in his casket.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the first news organization allowed into the building that was the site of the country's first anthrax attack since it was quarantined, got an exclusive look Wednesday at the decontamination process going on in the basement.

About 305,500 pounds of files, photos, employees' personal belongings and mundane office items packed in about 12,000 boxes will be cleaned with chlorine dioxide gas. The Palm Beach County Health Department closed the building after AMI photo editor Bob Stevens died of inhalation anthrax on Oct 5, 2001.

The building's upper floors remain quarantined.

Cleanup firm Bio-ONE and David Rustine, who bought the building and its contents two years ago for $40,000, agreed to unpack the boxes and decontaminate the files in batches of 500,000 to 600,000 pieces of paper by exposing them to chlorine dioxide gas for three hours.

Company officials hope to start the decontamination Friday evening after workers leave nearby businesses on Broken Sound Boulevard and in the Arvida Park of Commerce. The same chemical and decontamination process is being used that killed anthrax inside the building in July.

Original plans called for the building's contents, which were boxed in April, to be destroyed and for Bio-ONE to move in by the end of 2004. Late last year, a dispute over whether Rustine owned the photos stopped Bio-ONE from incinerating the boxes.

"The building has been clean since July 12," said Karen Cavanagh, Bio-ONE's general counsel and chief operating officer. "It's been very frustrating for us."

AMI, publisher of The Star, National Enquirer and Weekly World News, didn't own all the archive's photos when it sold the building to Rustine. Free-lancers were told to contact the new owner regarding any property that remained, AMI officials have said. Bio-ONE officials said once they clean the building's contents, it's up Rustine to decide what to do with them..........

ANTHRAX TRIVIA
TODAY IN HISTORY 2005/03/24 10:55:27

1882: Robert Koch, the German bacteriologist who discovered the cholera bacillus and the bacterial cause of anthrax, announces the isolation of tuberculosis germs. He later won a 1905 Nobel Prize for developing tuberculin.

In 1872, Koeh became District Medical Officer in Wollstem, where he began important investigations into anthrax despite lack of research facillates. By using a suitable media he cultivated the anthrax organisms on microscopic slides. He was now able to demonstrate their growth into long filaments and discover oval translucent bodies within them, the dormant spores.

Finding that dried spores remained viable for years explained the recurrence of the disease in pastures long unused for grazing. When conditions were right the spores could develop into the rod-shaped bacilli of anthrax. On the invitation of an eminent botanist, Ferdinand Cohn, the anthrax life cycle was demonstrated at Breslau in 1876. However, it was only after Pasteur's demonstration of an anthrax vaccine in 1882 were Koch's findings accepted.

Let me poke a few holes in this idea.

It says that they pretreated the spores with the substance and that renders them harmless.

I have always felt that if you tricked the anthrax spore into de-sporulating, then the spore would be technically dead.

Think of a seed. If you put that seed in moist ground, the environment around the seed is conducive for that seed to germinate. But if the environment suddenly changes and any of the necessary ingredients are withdrawn, say the soil suddenly dries up, the narrow window of germination is interrupted and the seed dies.

Thus so the anthrax spore. It also has a narrow window between the sensing that the environment is right, and then it "germinates" and must establish the infection.

So what this substance does is trick the anthrax spore to desporulate and begin the germination process, but then in this pretreatment involves treating then drying. These spores are like seeds that were started on a wet paper towel and then allowed to dry. They will never become plants.

I always thought you should spray a surface laced with anthrax spores with beef bullion. Then dry the surface out. What would you find???

All you scientists....I feel good today...argue with me.

Letter threatens Brentwood synagogue

Jewish holiday Purim Fri MAR 25

By IAN DEMSKY Staff Writer

White powder turned over to FBI for testing

The congregation of a Brentwood synagogue last night switched its service marking the Jewish holiday Purim to a local community center after receiving a threatening letter, along with suspicious white powder, in the mail yesterday afternoon.

Other Nashville-area businesses also were listed in the letter, said the FBI's D. Keith Bryars, who heads the Nashville Joint Terrorism Task Force. Bryars declined to identify or describe the other facilities, but he said the FBI had been in contact with them.

Rabbi Ken Kanter of Congregation Micah, 2001 Old Hickory Blvd., said the letter forced them to do some quick reorganization on the night of a holiday service.

''We were inconvenienced and we were forced to make some quick changes, but that's the only immediate reality change we dealt with,'' he said. ''There is a sadness that these things go on, but I also admire the strength, that in a crisis like this, the community gathers together and supports each other.''

The 260 worshippers who showed up for the service, which started late, showed ''great spirit and enthusiasm,'' Kanter said.

Kanter did not want to disclose the contents of the letter against the FBI's wishes but said it did not specifically single out the Jewish community.

An employee at the temple opened the envelope about 1 p.m., noticed the white powder and immediately placed it inside a cellophane bag, said Joaquin Toon, a spokesman for the Nashville Fire Department.

The fire department's Hazardous Material Unit was sent to the scene along with the FBI, the Metro police bomb squad and personnel from the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management, the Metro Health Department and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.

''It was an excellent response by all those groups,'' Bryars said. ''The individual and the area were decontaminated, and any residual effects would be negated by what they did.''

Emergency crews decontaminated the synagogue's office with water and bleach and had the employee scrub down with soap and water, Toon said.

Medics and representatives from the Metro Health Department examined the employee, who did not seem to have any ill effects, he said.

The FBI took control of the suspicious package, which was sent to a state crime lab in Nashville for testing.

The lab is part of a nationwide response network qualified to handle and test such an unknown material, Bryars said. It also reports to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.

''The substance is undergoing testing to be 100% positive, but at this time there's no indication that it is, in fact, a biological agent such as anthrax or ricin.''

After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks that followed, the frequency of similar suspicious incidents has declined, Bryars said.

Sunday religious school and adult programs at Congregation Micah have been canceled this week pending the results of the laboratory tests. A Bat Mitzvah ceremony scheduled at the temple today will be at the Gordon Jewish Community Center, 801 Percy Warner Blvd.

To report information

Law enforcement officials urged anyone with information about the suspicious letter received yesterday to contact the FBI at 292-5159 or call the Metro police nonemergency line at 862-8600.

Supposedly anthrax powder is anything but white. I don't know about ricin.

I can see the handwriting on the wall.

We can send almost everything electronically. That would leave package transporters such as UPS and FEDEX. With them there is a known point (person) or origin.

I'm glad I do not work for the post office.

I hope you are right and we keep some form of the postal service, but I remember one of the more impassioned pleas from a plaque in a building in Neosho, Missouri.

How will we ever stand for this! What will we do? These things that they are trying to eliminate from our world are things that have been with us since the time of Christ. This is so unfair and so against our culture and the future of our children.

It was posted in the Neosho Wagon Works, about 1900. They were quickly being taken over by the automobile. There were no wagon sales to speak of.

Berry speaks out

Local News

Berry speaks out; Trying to get custody of son, life together after FBI anthrax raids in Wellsville, New Jersey

By JOHN ANDERSON/Wellsville Daily Reporter

WELLSVILLE -- "Nothing ever happens easy for me," Dr. reflected.

On Aug. 5, 2004, the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched Berry's house on East Pearl Street in Wellsville, his old apartment on Maple Avenue and the summer home he was visiting in New Jersey.

The FBI claimed the search was "related to the FBI's ongoing investigation into the origin of the anthrax-laced letters mailed in September and October of 2001, which resulted in the deaths of five individuals and serious illness to 17 others."

Although Berry was never charged by the FBI, his life took a turn for the worse.

He was charged with simple assault in New Jersey the day of the raid, has three orders of protection against him, was called into court for a potential violation of an order of protection, he's faced failure to pay spousal support in New York and he has similar issues in Pennsylvania.

Today, he's fighting just to see his 4-year-old son, as his wife, Tana, says the child is actually not his because he was born four months before they were married.

In his first interview since the national spotlight was pointed at Wellsville during the August anthrax investigation, Berry talked to The Daily Reporter about his current legal battles and the FBI.

"(The FBI investigation) totally destroyed my life. I lost my reputation, my wife, my family, my son, my job ... everything," he said.

The FBI has not said if it found any traces of anthrax, and it has not charged Berry in connection with anthrax. The FBI was in and out of Wellsville in one day.

However, his wife, Tana, from whom he is now separated, said she was not surprised the FBI showed up at the door that Thursday morning.

"He knew he was being investigated, he knew it would happen sooner or later, he knew a search warrant was coming," said Tana.

When asked if the FBI investigation was a waste of time, she said, "That's not obvious, not to me anyway." When asked to further explain, Tana said "no comment."

Berry said he cooperated with the FBI and to this date has received, "No apology. No explanation. If you're trying to get into their heads ... good luck.

"I have no idea at all (the reason for the FBI raid)," Berry continued. "The best explanation I was given is, 'they are so big and powerful.'".

Berry has shifted his focus to a custody fight over his son and getting his life back together, which includes opening a practice in Wellsville.

"The most important thing is child custody of my son," he said. "Basically, my wife is trying to deny I am the father of my son. He is (my son). I am her husband."

Both parties agree on one thing, Tana was married to someone else during the pregnancy. However, the accusations start to fly after that.

Berry claims labor and delivery records along with birth certificates are missing from Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville, where he was the emergency room doctor from December of 1996 to October of 2001. Hospital officials did not return calls seeking comment.

"She had this whole thing set up four years ago including falsification of the birth certificates," claims Berry. "I remember when the baby was born, the date, the time and the nurse."

Tana countered, "That's news to me and totally ludicrous." Berry has worked at a hospital in Pittsburgh, commuting by plane while living in Wellsville. He was married and had seven children from two relationships.

Tana said he was working four days a week and slept a lot when he was home.

Berry founded an organization called PREEMPT Medical Counter-Terrorism in 1997. He filed a provisional patent for a system in October 2000 and filed the actual patent application Sept. 28, 2001, 10 days after the first anthrax letters were postmarked. He touted the system as an effective way to respond to bioterrorism attacks. He told the Daily Reporter he does not know Dr. Steven Hatfill, a former government scientist and bioweapons expert, whom the government labeled as a "person of interest" in the anthrax case.

But on Aug. 5, Berry and his family were vacationing at a home owned by his parents in Chadwick Beach in Dover Township, N.J., when the FBI showed up with a search warrant.

The family left and went to the White Sands Motel in Point Pleasant. Point Pleasant Police said around 1 p.m., a fight started over Tana giving FBI agents a cell phone. At 1:21 p.m., police were called as a physical altercation started. Police charged Berry, 46, with four counts of assault and a temporary restraining order was issued. Tana said that is now a lifetime restraining order in New Jersey.

"He has been convicted of assault, he savagely beat the hell out of my daughters, they needed medical attention, they have ongoing pain," said Tana from her Wellsville home on Saturday. "It's all nonsense, the harassment and violating an order of protection I have - I have three orders of protection signed by three judges to keep him away from me and my family."

"A lot of the public doesn't know how savagely he went after my children," Tana continued. "The FBI search was public and on TV. But he actually tried to kill one of my daughters ... he said that as he was slamming her head into a marble floor."

Berry said he was on a new prescription for a back injury and that he was on temporary disability when the assault took place. Police said Berry complained of illness and vomited.

"All my licenses are intact," Berry said. "As for the fight in hotel, I'll be cleared of that by the end of the year. The medication I was on may have made me more susceptible to a reaction like that ... it was simple assault, a non-criminal offense, that's why it didn't affect my life." Simple assault in New Jersey is defined as "attempts to cause, or purposefully knowing or recklessly causing bodily injury to another person." Another definition is: "Attempt by physical menace to put another in fear of imminent or serious bodily injury."

In New York, assault is generally a misdemeanor. Tana doesn't believe the medication claim, instead saying, "He's mentally ill."

She said her life has been crazy since the investigation and doesn't know what her future holds. "My son was one of the children injured during his sick attack in New Jersey," she said. "I just want him out of my life. Obviously this was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I just want to move on. "It's ridiculous to sit here and sling (mud) back and forth in the newspaper, but if he plans to move back, the public needs to know there is no denying what he did to my children and that there was an investigation," she added. Berry, who was speaking by phone from his New Jersey vacation home, thinks things are coming together for him. "As time progresses, I want to move back and practice there (in Wellsville)," he said. "The first couple months were horrible. Law enforcement agencies were not supportive and hostile.

"Now that six months have gone by, the pendulum has swung the other way," Berry continued. "The courts are civil and the law enforcement agencies are not as hostile." However, Berry is hostile over the way he feels he has been delayed in getting his custody hearing taken care of. He accuses Tana of delaying DNA testing and says she could face charges pertaining to that. The couple is fighting about the use of his credit cards and checks in the month after the anthrax investigation.

"I'm asking for a legal annulment, not a divorce, we're asking for (acknowledgment) that she fraudulently entered the marriage," said Berry. "Hence, this all could be eradicated with a DNA test. The judge ordered a DNA test in New Jersey. She's facing contempt charges in New Jersey because she didn't comply. "When I first went to marry her, in September of 2000, she found out she was still married. What happened at that point, I thought it was an error. That happened to me, as well as a cousin of mine," Berry continued. "You go to get your papers and find there is a goof up, either with the court or with an attorney. It's not a terribly uncommon event. However, she led me to believe it was accidental." Berry said Tana's attorney, William Gunner of Wellsville, is delaying this case through the Allegany County Court system and points to the fact he has not seen his son since Aug. 5, 2004.

"What happens in court is spouses don't agree," said Gunner. "So, every lawyer involved in a case is just an advocate for their client. It's their duty to zealously represent their client under the law and that's what we do in this case. I don't want to breach that privacy. I don't think it's confidentiality, but it's privacy. Ultimately, in the end, just like any case, the judge will make decisions and that will be the fact."

Gunner did say he sympathized with the fact that time is dragging on, but said it was not intentional. "I know what he's talking about. But there's procedures to be followed," said Gunner. "And in part of zealously defending your client, there is a process. I can see where one side might be upset, but there is a process that leads to a judge's decision. Those spouses that can agree with their differences never get to this stage.

"So anyone in divorce court or family court will have a disagreement or differing opinions. There will be an airing of the facts and the judge. It doesn't surprise me that people get disappointed or discouraged by the process, both sides get frustrated," he continued. "Not to speak for the judges, but they can't hear a case from beginning to end in the time the litigants would like."

Berry received his medical degree from the American University of the Caribbean, School of Medicine, in 1983. He worked for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in McKeesport, Pa., but said he lost his job two days after the raid. His contract ran up on Nov. 8., 2004 and was not renewed, hospital officials said.

"The University at Pittsburgh is the No. 1 receiver for federal funds for bio-defense," said Berry. "Needless to say, it was a public relations risk and it threatened their funding - especially in the light that the previous fellow, Hatfill. The FBI sent an e-mail saying since they were receiving funding, they wanted him to be fired." Berry, the past president of the American Academy of Emergency Physicians, said he is forced to just wait for legal matters to end.

"I'm in New Jersey ... pending to my court matters here and in New York," he added.

I don't remember this guy at all and he must have really hurt those kids to get a lifetime restraining order filed against him.

What didn't make sense to me in the article is this:

"The family left and went to the White Sands Motel in Point Pleasant. Point Pleasant Police said around 1 p.m., a fight started over Tana giving FBI agents a cell phone."

Did the reporter mean to say that Tana called the FBI. Why would she give them a cell phone? And is she the vindictive person who started the entire investigation into him as payback of a tumultuous relationship?

Iraqi anthrax scientist kept her secret

CHARLES J. HANLEY

Associated Press

In early 2003, as war fever built in Washington, an Iraqi scientist faced a fateful choice.

Rihab Rashid Taha could try to lower the heat by finally telling U.N. inspectors what happened to Iraq's "missing" anthrax.

Or she could remain silent, rather than risk Saddam Hussein's wrath.

The microbiologist's dilemma, she has told U.S. interrogators, was that her team 12 years earlier had destroyed the lethal bacteria by dumping it practically at the gates of one of Saddam's main palaces, and the feared Iraqi despot might grow enraged at news of anthrax on his doorstep.

Taha chose silence in 2003, thus stoking suspicions of those who contended Iraq still harbored biological weapons. Soon thereafter, two years ago this month, the United States invaded.

"Whether those involved understood the significance and disastrous consequences of their actions is unclear," the CIA-led Iraq Survey Group says of Taha and colleagues in its final report on Iraq weapons-hunting. "These efforts demonstrate the problems that existed on both sides in establishing the truth."

It also demonstrates anew that the war was launched on the basis not of hard fact, but of speculation and untruths, especially about Iraqi motives and actions.

"We ourselves had a lesson to learn there," one ex-arms inspector, Australian microbiologist Rod Barton, says of the account by Taha, still in U.S. detention in Iraq.

The anthrax mystery had bedeviled U.N. inspectors since the 1990s.

The Iraqis claimed then that before the 1991 Gulf War they had made 2,191 gallons of anthrax, considered highly suited for biowarfare because its spores are relatively easily produced, durable and deadly when inhaled. They said they destroyed all of it in mid-1991 at their bioweapons center at Hakam, 50 miles southwest of Baghdad.

The U.N. experts, who scoured Iraq for banned arms from 1991-98 and again in 2002-03, confirmed anthrax had been dumped at Hakam. But they also found evidence indicating Iraq produced an additional, undeclared 1,800 gallons of anthrax.

In early 2003, chief inspector Hans Blix put the seeming discrepancy high on his list of Iraq's "unresolved disarmament issues," complaining the Iraqis must be withholding information. Colin Powell dwelled on an anthrax threat in his February 2003 speech seeking U.N. Security Council authority for war.

Warning of "tens of thousands of teaspoons" of anthrax still in Iraq, the then-U.S. secretary of state said of the discrepancy, "This is evidence, not conjecture. This is true."

But the truth appears to lie elsewhere, according to the account disclosed in a little-noted section of the Iraq Survey Group report, a 350,000-word document issued last Oct. 6.

The British-educated Taha, who ran the Hakam complex in the 1980s, told interrogators her staff carted off anthrax from Hakam in April 1991 and stored it in a bungalow near the presidential palace at Radwaniyah, 20 miles west of Baghdad, the U.S. teams report.

Later that year the crew dumped the chemically deactivated anthrax on grounds surrounded by a Special Republican Guard barracks near the palace, the report says. Barton, who took part in Iraq Survey Group interrogations, said in a recent Australian Broadcasting Corp. interview that the disposal was carried out in July 1991 when Iraqi orders came down to destroy all bioweapons agents immediately.

Then, through the years, Taha and other Iraqi officials denied the "missing" anthrax ever existed.

"The members of the program were too scared to tell the Regime that they had dumped deactivated anthrax within sight of one of the principal presidential palaces," the Iraq Survey Group says.

The arms hunters' report also concludes, "ISG's investigation found no evidence that Iraq continued to hide BW (biological) weapons after the unilateral destruction of 1991 was complete."

"We knew there was a lie," Barton said, "but we jumped to the wrong conclusions."

The U.N. inspection agency says in an assessment of the U.S. report that the Taha disclosure is "perhaps the most significant new information" in the biological area. It suggested sampling and analysis at the Radwaniyah site to corroborate her account.

Dr. Kenneth Berry Update

The head scratching continues about this "person of interest" [my term] for the FBI. A medical doctor has e-mailed me with his thoughts, and please note his final comment:
This guy is a zero. The American Univ of the Caribbean is a fifth pathway school -- guys from the East Coast go there when they can't get into a US medical school, and they then try to transfer to an American med school (the "fifth pathway") prior to graduation. Used to work some (the Carter administration tried to make it mandatory for US med schools to accept fifth pathway transfers, but the med schools told them to shove it). But in the last decade or so transfers are almost completely shut down.

So our bright boy graduates from AUC. He is NOT going to get a good residency in the states in any specialty. St. Joseph's Med Ctr -- which St. Joe's, there are a number of them. He did a community hospital residency in family medicine, probably a free-standing residency not affiliated with a university. Ick. Training is mediocre, more like an apprenticeship, with (mostly) a non-dedicated teaching staff and relatively few opportunities to distinguish himself.

Regardless, he gets a certification in family medicine. I'd like to know what the 2nd residency was all about. The AMA page doesn't specify the order of residencies done, so I don't know if the surgery residency was first (and he asked to leave) or second. But he's not a certified surgeon, so he obviously didn't complete it. And "Wilson Memorial Regional Medical Center" isn't a stellar residency, either (Googled it to Johnston City, NY).

Rex is correct, there is no specialty training in WMD per se. Physicians with expertise in biologicals generally would be infectious disease specialists. For any, the Emergency Medicine docs would be expected to have good, basic knowledge in triage and treatment, but they wouldn't be expected to have in-depth knowledge as to pathophysiology, research, etc.

Rex is also correct in noting that, especially for small hospitals in rural America, a family medicine doc who wanted to be an ER "specialist" could be one. Emergency Medicine as a specialty is a new idea, but their residency programs are cranking out graduates. Those new docs tend to cluster in better-supported, more desirable places to live. But if he wanted to be an ER doc in Wellsville, he could do it.[snip]

There is no "Board of Certification of Emergency Medicine." There IS an American Board of Emergency Medicine, a member of the American Board of Medical Specialties. The ABMS certifies doctors in their specialties after training, and the ABEM would do the certifying of emergency medicine docs.

Go here for a description of their Board of Directors. It seems that one of the requirements is that you're EM certified, which Dr. Berry apparently isn't. He's also not a graduate of an ACGME-certified (ACGME = American Council of Graduate Medical Education, which certifies the training programs) EM program, according to his bio.[snip]

I ran Dr. Berry's name through PubMed, the interface for the National Library of Medicine, a premier search engine for health care. It lists and indexes every single article published in every medical and biological sciences journal that is indexed, and that's a big list. "Berry KM" brings up 2 listings, neither of which is our guy.

In simple terms, Chuck: I think this guy stinks to high heaven.
Here's where we stand.
Dr. Berry's public CV has some inaccurate names for groups that he should know the correct names of.
He is not published in any manner that we can discover.
His CV lists nothing that would qualify him to be an expert on WMD.
Dr. Berry's CV lists nothing that would have allowed him access to anthrax spores.
His CV lists nothing that would make him in any way expert enough to be a part of the Flight 800 crash investigation, other than in a very minor role.

Let's keep in mind that the FBI and the Postal Inspectors investigate a variety of crimes other than terrorism, and that the anthrax murders could involve other crimes. Is it possible that crimes such as mail fraud, extortion, or filing a false instrument might occur in the context of these murders? On the other hand, the problems with Dr. Berry's past might all resolve if we postulate that he spent some time as a government employee which he cannot list on his CV for some odd reason.

Dr. Berry has not, as far as I know, been charged with a federal crime. And there may be very satisfactory answers to our questions about his CV. And... yes, he did not graduate for a prestigious medical school but that does not make him a bad doctor. So, he still remains a mystery to us.

he smells like a Camel; Club Member.

By Anonymous, at 5:32 PM

Yes, he may be one of the "CISKO" bunch from IUP. He certainly knew Dr. Fredrick W. Woodley [ IUP 1998]&
Charles Brown [IUP 1990] who went to Ft. Detrick in late 1990. Also, Investigator Cole [IUP 1988] knows who Berry is. I will see if I can find his photo on the letters, Cole made for us.
The Camel club at Ft. Detrrick, came from IUP years ago & Cisko & Patrick were the organizers. The "true" Kamel Klub Kid was Fredrick W. Woodley & He was very proud to be a member of the KKK - although he was self appointed.[since the real KKK would not have such an asshole] I am very suprized that his name was used at Ft. Detrick in 1992 and recorded, along with the Name Charles Brown; as part of the investigation involving Dr. Assaad.
If the FBI finds out Berry was still partying with the old Camel Club members from IUP- then he best come clean with the FBI ASAP; or he may find himself locked in the big house - with all the Camel Club Members. I wonder if Berry knew that they plnned to kill people in the attacks???
Boy, those Camel Club Members shure could smoke the reefer, I'll bet Cisko still has some in his deep freezer. The one thing that I can not understand is why Donna M. Grant [iup 1989] has not come clean in the investigation; we know she had a "hand" in it.
Ps: Dr. Steven J. Hatfill recieved 2 medical degrees from a university in Zimbawue. IUP biology department has a long standing teacher exchange program with the University of Zimbawue. Could Cisko or Patrick have learned about Hatfill through that program? IDEAS?

By Anonymous, at 1:08 PM

correction> Fredrick w. woodley graduated IUP in 1989 not 1998 & is nick name "The Kamel Klub Kid" was recorded at Ft. Detrick at the time Charles Brown got in trouble with Dr. Assaad.
Cisko instructed the aformentioned persons not to put their pictures in the IUP yearbooks, so you will need an IUP alumni directory to find them.
Also Charles brown went as far as to change his middel inital, not only in the Alumni Directory, but also in the 1990 IUP telephone directory; just to cover his tracks from IUP to Ft. Detrick. Check it out it's a matter of record & stored at the IUP archives.
Thank You..

A victim of particularly severe harassment, Army investigators concluded, was Ayaad Assaad, a physiologist and Egyptian American who began work at USAMRIID in 1988. In a mocking reference to Assaad's Arab descent, two top USAMRIID officers established a "Camel Club" and awarded a stuffed toy camel each week to a scientist who had not performed to their expectations, an investigation by the Army shows.
The elaborate weekly ceremony included the recitation of a sexually explicit poem about Assaad, according to the documents.

The senior USAMRIID officers took photographs of themselves cavorting with the stuffed camel -- photos that were developed in an Army photo lab, the investigators found. The two officers implicated in the incidents left the Army in the mid-1990s, and USAMRIID's commander issued a formal apology to Assaad.

Assaad filed suit against the Army in 1998 after losing his job in a round of staff cuts a year earlier.

Assaad was among several former USAMRIID workers who have contended in interviews that control of biological hazards was lax, at least until the mid-1990s.

In an interview yesterday, Assaad repeated his assertion that anthrax spores in dry, powdered form were produced as a byproduct of research at USAMRIID and said he strongly suspects, based on his nearly 10 years there, that the anthrax letters will eventually be connected to the lab.

Those suspicions were strengthened, he said, when he learned that someone had anonymously written the FBI in late September -- days before the first anthrax cases were reported -- warning that Assaad was a "potential bioterrorist."

Rosemary McDermott, Assaad's lawyer, said she met with FBI agents on Oct. 3. They told her the letter was a hoax, she said.McDermott and Assaad noted however, that the public was not aware of the anthrax attacks until officials disclosed in early October that a photo editor for a Florida tabloid newspaper was suffering from the disease and had been admitted to a hospital Oct. 2.

"Whoever sent the anthrax letters did this to divert attention," Assaad said. "They knew the attacks would be eventually traced back to USAMRIID, and they used me as a scapegoat. Who better than an Arab American scientist who used to work there?"

Staff writers Susan Schmidt and Rick Weiss contributed to this report.

"According to the Wellsville Daily Reporter, Dr. Berry's wife allegedly gave a cell phone to the FBI while cooperating with the investigation which started a feud. Since this seems to be a comment by Tana after they returned home, it seems more reliable than earlier media reports which merely said the fight was "over a cell phone".

Interesting blog-of a sort.

It makes you wonder about the contributors-but,of course,that's the whole idea...

Don't know what to make of this blog but find it interesting that Berry is mentioned along with Assaad and the infamous Camel Club. Detrick was a likely source of the mailers anthrax. Wonder what really occurred there.

Well,Ed,

The happenings of the "Camel Club" were long since settled-except in the minds of conspiracy theorists from the west coast,who have been preaching "The Jews did it !",since well before 9/11.

When these "conspiracies" are tracked back to their source,it is generally an individual or group that is part of the Arab-aligned "White Aryan Resistance" or its polar opposite,MeCHA.

Even as a non-Jew,brought up to be suspicious of Jews,I find such crap tiring; but I realize it will not go away.

Interesting note from a real physician. The incorrect notation of the name of the board is certainly telling.

But is he a "likely candidate" to take the fall for our anthrax perp??

ED????

Dr. Berry Speaks About Anthrax Searches
By: Ross · Section: Diaries

Last August the FBI search the home of an ER physician in Pennsylvania and a summer home he was visiting in New Jersey.

The FBI explained at the time the search was "related to the its ongoing investigation into the origin of the anthrax-laced letters mailed in September and October of 2001, which resulted in the deaths of five individuals and serious illness to 17 others."

Dr. Berry was never charged by the FBI and today was quoted in a lengthy article by his award-winning hometown paper, the Wellsville Daily Reporter.

"(The FBI investigation) totally destroyed my life. I lost my reputation, my wife, my family, my son, my job ... everything," he said.

"He knew he was being investigated, he knew it would happen sooner or later, he knew a search warrant was coming," said his wife.

(He and his wife are now in a custody fight over their young son.)

Dr. Berry said he cooperated with the FBI and to this date has received, "No apology. No explanation. If you're trying to get into their heads ... good luck."

"I have no idea at all (the reason for the FBI raid)," Berry was quoted as saying. "The best explanation I was given is, 'they are so big and powerful.' "

"As time progresses, I want to move back and practice there (in Wellsville)," he said. "The first couple months were horrible. Law enforcement agencies were not supportive and hostile."

"Now that six months have gone by, the pendulum has swung the other way," the detailed Daily Reporter article quoted him saying. "The courts are civil and the law enforcement agencies are not as hostile."

He lost his job at a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center at McKeesport.

"The University at Pittsburgh is the No. 1 receiver for federal funds for bio-defense," said Berry. "Needless to say, it was a public relations risk and it threatened their funding - especially in the light that the previous fellow, Hatfill. The FBI sent an e-mail saying since they were receiving funding, they wanted him to be fired."

The article has no information about an alibi or access to virulent Ames. It mainly focused on the couple's custody dispute and ongoing discord.

While we wait to see what comes of the Amerithrax investigation, what lessons can be learned from the Hatfill and Berry matters?

From the perspective of the possible person of interest: Consent to any requested search because this juggernaut doesn't take no for an answer.

Should the agents have worn hazmat suits for the search? Reasonable people can disagree. But it seems that the government -- for all its power -- is relatively powerless in the court of public opinion. Investigators are damned if they do -- and damned if they don't. If they have sufficient reason to conduct a search, then would it be reasonable to expect an unprotected investigator to poke in this nook or cranny without protective gear?

There's a new book about the anthrax investigation titled "Analyzing the Anthrax Attacks: The First 3 Years," by Edward G. Lake. (It is available at Amazon)

If the stern warnings by the FBI, NYPD and Interpol earlier this month about a threatened anthrax attack are any indication, we should look behind the headlines and study the matter. And all seems well -- or not -- in Wellsville -- and so whatever your opinion about the case the new book affords the opportunity of testing what we think about Amerithrax.

Often we learn the most from those making the opposite argument. As author Lake correctly urges, you can't know whether you'll be persuaded until you study the evidence.

Though he has been a close student of all that has been published on Amerithrax, Mr. Lake does not, in fact, set out the relevant facts relating to an Al Qaeda theory for examination and never has (in thousands of posts).

Ed settled on his view that Al Qaeda was not responsible in 2001. He then just chose not to address documentary evidence and other evidence obtained in interrogations over the past few years. The evidence includes

(1) the documentary evidence found on Ayman Zawahiri's computer (to include his emails to Atef and his study of the USAMRIID Army anthrax program),

(2) the anthrax production documents on Khalid Mohammed's laptop,

(3) the statements of detainees in 1999 that Zawahiri's Egyptian Islamic Jihad intended to use anthrax against US targets because of the rendering of its leaders,

(4) the detention of various microbiologists and bacteriologists working with Al Qaeda,

(5) the physical evidence relating to the lap equipment found at Kandahar,

(6) the activities of various operatives known to have been complicitous with the 9/11 hijackers (to include potential access to the Ames strain of anthrax), and

(7) the code used by the anthrax mailer in comparison to the code used by the 911 participants.

His familiar argument that the hijackers are dead rings hollow in contrast to the thoughtful analysis by Kenneth Dillon, a former State Department analyst, about Jdey, who was in Montreal in September and October 2001. The names of various other operatives known to have been in contact with the hijackers have never been typed on his keyboard.

Mr. Lake is simply advocating his view that a US biodefense insider did it while purporting to be dispassionate. He imagines a conspiracy under which the perps are motivated by emotional reasons, not even a financial motive. But he's the one who is ignoring "the facts" -- the evidence that would be relied on by a US Attorney in court in alleging a conspiracy to send anthrax in the mails. Although only time will tell (hopefully), such an indictment likely will read very much like the indictment in the 1998 embassy bombings.

Ed's suggestion that a child wrote the letters (because block letters were used) has always been especially silly. It is not difficult for an adult to disguise his writing (using block letters). There would be no reason to involve a child. Ed spends ten pages and 18 subarguments in arguing that a child -- a 6 year old child entering first grade no less -- wrote the letter. He thinks that the writer of the letter the writer must not have known the illegal nature of what he was doing or else the person would not have become bored and doodled -- tracing over 5 A's and two or three T's. He concludes that "the letter writer was totally unaware of the serious consequences of what he was doing." He thinks that the mailer kept a copy of the original for his files so he could prove that he did it. On the issue of the J-Lo letter, while disagreeing with the CDC conclusion that the publisher received two letters containing anthrax, he nowhere mentions or addresses the two routes of contamination through Florida post offices.

While purporting to be debunking an Al Qaeda theory in his editorial summary of the book, he nowhere mentions or addresses the anthrax planning and anthrax spray drying documents on Zawahiri's and Khalid Mohammed's computers. If someone were actually addressing relevant evidence in supporting an Al Qaeda theory in order to debunk it, one would address the direct evidence of motive, planning, means, and modus operandi represented by Al Qaeda's Zabadi ("Curdled Milk") program documents. Nor does he mention the bacteriologists and microbiologists who have been detained.

He butchers the question of modus operandi by making assertions without any support and ignoring what the experts say --- for example, the former CIA Al Qaeda expert Mike Scheuer's argument that the plotters feel that clear warning is required by the Quran before the use of WMD. He spends a lot of time on the text of the letters and envelopes -- and the return address of "Greendale School". Yet he nowhere mentions that Zawahiri used "school" ( in an important May 2001 letter to his followers) to refer to the Egyptian Islamic Jihad or that anthrax lab technician Yazid Sufaat named his laboratory Green Laboratory Medicine (because green symbolizes islam).

Similarly, on this question of modus operandi, he nowhere addresses and the mailing of letter bombs to newspaper branches in DC and NYC in 1997, as well as symbolic targets, in connection with the detention of the WTC 1993 plotters. Nor does he address the instances of mailings of nerve agent or cyanide by senders purporting to be islamist.

As for opportunity, he repeatedly argues that the hijackers were "DEAD" and argues that the FBI would mention other operatives if they thought there were any. He seems unaware of the multi-million dollar rewards for the likes of, for example, Jdey or Jafar the Pilot, as if he is unaware of FBI BOLOs ("Be On The Lookout Alerts").

He never considers why Jafar the Pilot (I believe) met with anthrax lab technician Yazid Sufaat in June 2001
-- indeed, he never so much as mentions either of their names.

He disagrees with the CIA's conclusion that Atta's inquiries were for the purpose of dispersing a biological agent. All the while he pedantically argues the importance of addressing "facts" and not opinions.

In a revision of the book (it was self-published), he should (1) drop the child theory, (2) drop his letter-writer-didn't-know-he-was-doing-wrong-lest-he-wouldn't-have-doodled- ATTA's-name" theory, (3) address the facts supporting an Al Qaeda theory (to include the computer planning and preparation documents and the technical people detained), (4) and drop his own Berry-like theory of who did it.

And if he is going to disagree with experts such as the CDC and CIA, he should point out their conclusions and what they rely on. Otherwise, his argument just serves to obfuscate an important issues (such as the J-Lo letter or the question of Al Qaeda modus operandi). In the case of the CDC's conclusion that there were two letters sent to the different publications of the AMI, he fails to mention that there were two distnct paths of contamination through area post offices (one was mailed to the publication's earlier address and forwarded). The JLo letter and Atta's Jenny code in his communications with Ramzi Binalshibh -- without more -- indicate Al Qaeda's responsibility.

Having said all that, I note that the former bioweaponeer William Patrick reports to the author that, in his opinion, the book is a "must read." And he's the one advising that the juggernaut -- that "big and powerful" FBI -- not me.

While we may not be able to get into the FBI's head, to get into Ayman Zawahiri's head, go to:
