No much is ever said about the anthrax attack at the democratic offices of the U.S. Senate. Did this have anything to do with the authorization to go to war by the democrats. With these senators whisked away from their offices while listening to Bush describe the chemical and biological weapons from Iraq and seeing the anthrax envelopes postmarked from Iraq, did this have anything to do with influencing their votes? Were they scared? Who perpetuated this attack? I certainly wouldn't suggest it was those terrorist republican's, but who was it? They were never caught right? What kind of equipment and expertise is required to produce anthrax? It's not as easy as making meth is it? Why don't the democrats prove they can effectively fight terror by finding these perpetrators?

Zelda, I know it's biological and very difficult to work with. Beyond the reach of the average terrorist. Who could have done it, and why?

Tom Collins, why won't DHS do their job? If they won't do it shouldn't someone? The senate does conduct hearings and investigations do they not?

The anthrax envelopes were posted from Princeton, New Jersey, not Iraq. The anthrax was probably from a facility that did US biological weapons research. Did you notice how they just dragged it out for the "fear factor", but no one ever solved the mystery of who was responsible. This was weapons grade anthrax - which has nothing to do with chemicals or drugs. It is a biological agent. The Democrats can't find the terrorists because they are being hidden from view, either by the current administration, or by one of the intelligence services. You need to get your facts straight.

The Bush/Cheney administration runs the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security.
Why don't they perform their job competently and find the perpetrators?
You don't seem to understand the difference between the Executive and Legislative branches.

I don't think they targeted the democrats any more than the republicans. They just sent it to the Senate majority leader. They didn't send it to the prez because he has better security. I really doubt he opens his own mail.
