But I thought Fox News (which I also thought was supposed to be a mouthpiece for the Bush administration) did a four part story on it?
MagZ- isn't it also interesting that Fox News, which is completaly controlled by the Elders of Zion and the Freemasons, ran the story at all? Yes the story was killed, but not before it could be viewed by millions and posted on Youtube for millions more to see. That does't fit your conspiracy theory of Jewish media control.
Some of the same pressures that keep government officials from criticizing Israel may also explain why the media has failed to pursue the art student enigma. Media outlets that run stories even mildly critical of Israel often find themselves targeted by organized campaigns, including form-letter e-mails, the cancellation of subscriptions, and denunciations of the organization and its reporters and editors as anti-Semites. Cameron, for example, was excoriated by various pro-Israel lobbying groups for his exposé. Representatives of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) argued that the Fox report cited only unnamed sources, provided no direct evidence, and moreover had been publicly denied by spokesmen for the FBI and others (the last, of course, is not really an argument).
In a December interview with Salon, CAMERA's associate director, Alex Safian, said that several "Jewish/Israeli groups" were having "conversations" with representatives of Fox News regarding Cameron's piece. Safian said he questioned Cameron's motives in running the story. "I think Fox has always been fair to Israel in its reporting," said Safian. "I think it's just Cameron who has something, personally, about Israel. He was brought up in the Middle East. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe he's very sympathetic to the Arab side. One could ask." The implicit suggestion was that Cameron is a bigot; in conversation, Safian would later make the same allegation about the entire editorial helm at Le Monde, which he called an anti-Semitic newspaper.
Told of Safian's comments, Cameron said, "I'm speechless. I spent several years in Iran growing up because my father was an archaeologist there. That makes me anti-Israel?" The chief Washington correspondent for Fox News, Cameron had never before been attacked for biased coverage of Israel or Israeli-related affairs -- or for biased coverage of Arabs, for that matter. Cameron defends his December reporting, saying he had never received any heat whatsoever from his superiors, nor had he ever been contacted by any dissenting voices in government.
Oddly, four days after the Cameron investigation ran, all traces of his report -- transcripts, Web links, headlines -- disappeared from the Foxnews.com archives. (Normally, Fox leaves a story up for two to three weeks before consigning it to the pay archive.) When Le Monde contacted Fox in March for a copy of the original tapes, Fox News spokesmen said the request posed a problem but would not elaborate. (Fox News now says Le Monde never called.) Asked why the Cameron piece disappeared, spokesman Robert Zimmerman said it was "up there on our Web site for about two or three weeks and then it was taken down because we had to replace it with more breaking news. As you know, in a Web site you've got x amount of bandwidth -- you know, x amount of stuff you can put stuff up on [sic]. So it was replaced. Normal course of business, my friend." (In fact, a text-based story on a Web site takes up a negligible amount of bandwidth.)
When informed that Cameron's story was gone from the archives, not simply from the headline pages (when you entered the old URL, a Fox screen appeared with the message "This story no longer exists"), Zimmerman replied, "I don't know where it is."
Your disregard for a motive in the anthrax case is nonsensical.
Here are a few articles showing the advance nature of the anthrax weapon. Today, the FBI wants to avoid answering the questions about how sophisticated the anthrax weapon was by saying just about anyone could have made it.

As to other countries having the Ames strain, researching anthrax is not the same as developing an anthrax weapon. There has to be a motive for a country to attack America with anthrax. I maintain only Israel would have such a motive.
The Anthrax Mystery: Solved
http://www.anthraxattacks.net/
MaGZ,
It's clear to me that you have made up your mind. Your opinion is that Isreal is the most probable suspect in the anthrax attacks. I accept that nothing I say will change that opinion. The particular issue I am arguing with you right now is the way in which you express your opinion, which is typical of conspiracists and bad scientists. You put together a narrative which is superficially plausable and then conclude that it is logically impossible for "official theories" to be correct.
You are claiming that it is impossible for any entity other than Isreal to have carried out the attacks; and you are doing so in part due to timing and motive.
By admitting that the anthrax could have been manufactured before 9/11/2001, your timing argument pretty much goes out the window. The only relevant question in this regards is "Could another entity have been in posession of the anthrax envelopes in Trenton NJ on Sept 17th or 18th?" (not "is it likely or probable?") If the answer is yes, then your impossibility is no longer airtight.
Really? Is the following scenario at all possible? (Not, "is it likely or probable?") An individual who worked at a US biolab in late 1999 or 2000 takes home a small sample of weaponized anthrax powder. A few days after 9/11/2001 this individual who is in independantly in posession of antibiotics writes the anthrax letters, drives to Trenton NJ and mails them.
For your claim that Isreal is the only entity that could have carried out the attacks to hold, you must now prove that my scenario above cannot have happened. What is this hypothetical individual's motive? It does not matter. The simple fact that it could have happened pokes holes in your 'impossible' claim.
To sum up: I accept that you have your opinion on who the most probable perpetrator of the anthrax attacks is, and I'm not trying to change that. I AM trying to get you to see that your opinion is just that; a set of factual rings tied together by threads of opinion, appeals to motive and wisps of conjecture, not a solid chain of facts and solid logical conclusions.
If from now you change your wording to admit that Isreal is merely in your opinion the most likely suspect, then I will have made my point and will move on to other things. If not then you implicitly admit that you cannot tell the difference between your opinion and reality and pretty much invalidate all your own arguments, so I will move on to other things.
You are a racists bigoted nut case, who blindly uses racist web sites and repeats junk.I am totally convinced Israel was responsible for the anthrax attacks. I cannot see any other possible scenario. No American scientist could have brought home weaponized anthrax since the US bio-weapons program ended in 1972.
If you have an equally plausible scenario then I would like to hear it.

But I came up with a better motive of why it was Russia, all by myself, that you completely disregarded. The only evidence I have that is was Russia is my opinion, but that's all you've got to say it was Israel in this case.
I can tell you why Israel did it.
Why can't you see any other scenario? Israel is, indeed, a possibility. However, there are other possibilities. The only alternative you mention is the USA, but you ignore Russia. There is also the possibility of a rogue Israeli scientist. Why not, it's possible? While there are other possibilities, you can't say it must be Israel, because there aren't any other possibilities.
I thought the people we should be concerned about are "the Zionists" or the Israeli government? Is it "the Jews" or "the Zionists" after all when you criticize Israel or Zionists you are not criticizing all Jewish people are you? I thought you had made this distinction clear? Now I am confused.
But it's already been done. Someone nicked some from a lab, stuck it in letters. Yes, bioweapons programmes may have ceased (officially) a few decades back but that doesn't mean there aren't stockpiles of these materials that they've kept (specifically, for the purpose of creating vaccines against it). What is it exactly about the lone, disgruntled/psychotic employee theory that is so unbelievable to you?
The attempt to manufacture identical anthrax spores is the latest in a series of ambitious efforts. Scientists announced in May that they had sequenced the anthrax genome used to identify the attack spores as examples of the "Ames strain" of anthrax bacteria developed by USAMRIID at Fort Detrick, Md. A month later, scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used radiocarbon dating to determine that the anthrax spores had been cultured within the past two years.
