This is EVIDENCE of a government intent on destroying 'the truth' and using an issue of WMD as a lead into an illegal war that compromised American national security. This isn't about politics, it is about the 'degree' of culpability of the Executive Branch in exploiting the murderous activities of its own military.
The American people are at risk. No one in the Executive Branch is innnocent. NO ONE !!! They used the fear from this episode and the trauma of September 11th to wage a war that was unnecessary and contrived in Iraq.

The FBI said that former Army researcher Steven J. Hatfill, whose Frederick apartment was searched Tuesday, was on the floating short list of "persons of interest," but noted both publicly and in private meetings last week that Hatfill is not a suspect in the case.
Ben Haddad, spokesman for the San Diego-based defense contractor Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), confirmed that Hatfill was a full-time SAIC employee in 1999 when he and collaborator Joseph Soukup commissioned a report investigating the consequences of a hypothetical anthrax attack by mail....
To exploit murderous activities of its own military as a lead up to war is criminal. There is no getting around it. The criminality of this Executive Branch is more evident today with

Site of Anthrax Attack Reopens (click here)
BOCA RATON, Fla. - The tabloid newspaper building targeted in the fatal anthrax mailings in 2001 reopened with newsrooms still marked by Sun and Globe signs and file drawers bearing labels such as "JFK Jr."
The contents were included when American Media Inc. sold the building in 2003. Developer David Rustine bought it for $40,000 and said he spent millions on decontamination and maintenance.
The headquarters for the National Enquirer, Sun and Globe newspapers was the first known target in the mailings that killed five people starting a month after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Bob Stevens, a photo editor, died Oct. 5, 2001, from inhaling anthrax mailed to the building.
