www.brasschecktv.com/page/393.htmlThe anthrax suspects death is splashed all over the main stream news media. Click above to see what you are not being told. The lone anthrax gunman is dead. All his friends and colleagues say he was a helpful, mild mannered person. But new reports say that "a woman" accused him of stalking her. An unnamed woman, of course. All this is to distract the public from asking a simple question... No one disputes that the lone anthrax gunman got his spores from the military. But what was the US military doing with weaponized anthrax in the first place? The answer here: www.brasschecktv.com/page/393.htmlThe US news media is unlikely to ask the most obvious question about the 2001 anthrax attacks. Why did the Pentagon have weaponized anthrax in the first place?

Vital unresolved anthrax questions and ABC News
During the last week of October, 2001, ABC News, led by Brian Ross, continuously trumpeted the claim as their top news story that government tests conducted on the anthrax -- tests conducted at Ft. Detrick -- revealed that the anthrax sent to Daschele contained the chemical additive known as bentonite. ABC News, including Peter Jennings, repeatedly claimed that the presence of bentonite in the anthrax was compelling evidence that Iraq was responsible for the attacks, since -- as ABC variously claimed -- bentonite "is a trademark of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's biological weapons program" and "only one country, Iraq, has used bentonite to produce biological weapons."
ABC News' claim -- which they said came at first from "three well-placed but separate sources," followed by "four well-placed and separate sources" -- was completely false from the beginning. There never was any bentonite detected in the anthrax (a fact ABC News acknowledged for the first time in 2007 only as a result of my badgering them about this issue). It's critical to note that it isn't the case that preliminary tests really did detect bentonite and then subsequent tests found there was none. No tests ever found or even suggested the presence of bentonite. The claim was just concocted from the start. It just never happened.
