Internet investigative reporter Steve Watson reports that Dr. Francis A Boyle, a professor of international law at the University of Illinois-Champaign, and the man who wrote the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, is convinced that "9/11 was allowed to happen, the war on terror is facilitating the downfall of The Republic, and concentration camps are in place, with U.S. citizens as the targets." He also reportedly declared, during an appearance on the Alex Jones program, that the purpose of the anthrax attack was "to foment a police state by killing off opposition to hardline post-9/11 legislation."
Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government abuse and corruption, said today that the Bush administration has failed to provide a complete and accurate response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request concerning the decision to place White House staff on a regimen of the powerful antibiotic, Cipro, the same day as the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

I am concerned now about renewed talk of domestic terrorism in the past week or so, and what it means to our civil rights.
Its awfully coincidental that the FBI and ATF were spouting off about their fears about domestic terrorism, and even mentioned ELF by name only days before the houses were set ablaze. Washinton State I think it was.

Terrorist groups usually claim responsibility for their attacks, because they want you to fear them.
The anthrax attacks were unusual in that they seemed only intended to create a general climate of fear, with no other apparent motive.
That doesn't resemble the MO of any terrorist group I've ever heard of.
