It appears that the search for the culprit for the Anthrax Attacks has reached its culprit, a Scientist suspected of sending out Anthrax as first part of a plan to test his Anthrax Cure and killed himself as the Investigation neared him.

Maybe.

This was one of those cases which falls back into the recesses of our National psyche, forgotten about and not mentioned, and you have to insert it awkwardly with the reference to “No Terrorist Attack on American soil since 9/11”.  But what always fascinated me about it was the partisan – flushed conspiracy theories of the thing, never stated but always intimated.  Bush Administration supposedly sent the Anthrax to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy — the Democratic Senate Majority Leader of the time and the Democratic head of the Judicial Committee — “anthrax”ing them to keep them compliant in passing through the Patriot Act — which, as we all know, is/was analogious to the Enabling Acts of Nazi Germany.  This never quite made any sense to me — the Patriot Act was going to be flying right through in tact in our post-9/11 “watch out for low flying planes” America.  (And, frankly, in our omnipresent multitentacled Leviathan system of Government.)

Other objects of the attack — the tabloid paper under the umbrella “American Media” as well as the office of Tom Brokaw — seemed to suggest an attack on the, quote-in-quote “Liberal Media” (couple it with those two Senators), which had alwys been my amorphous and vague profile — based solely on those elements, understand.

What fed into the partisan, and further into over-all Governmental Conspiracy theories was the seeming inaction in itsinvestigative process, to the point where it was a handful of months ago reportedly shelved into the “Cold Case File”.  But, as it is, if the Culprit has been found and has now killed himself, I guess you can say that he will never be able to test his cure.
