The Pentagon’s model “judicial” system at Guantanamo Bay has many fascinating features, virtually all of which are contrary to the rights and guarantees in the federal system established by the Constitution. Among the features in the Pentagon’s system are a presumption of guilt for the accused, no right to confront witnesses, the use of hearsay evidence, the use of evidence acquired by torture or coercion, no right against self-incrimination, no protection against cruel and unusual punishments, no right to bail, and no right to trial by jury.

It’s certainly possible that once the FBI closes its investigation and then formally unveils its evidence — which apparently will happen tomorrow — a very convincing case will be made that Bruce Ivins perpetrated the anthrax attacks and did so alone. But what has been revealed thus far — through the standard ritual of selected Government leaks which the establishment media, with some exceptions, just mindlessly re-prints no matter how frivolous — is creating the opposite impression. The FBI’s coordinated leaking is making their claim to have solved the anthrax case appear quite dubious, in some instances laughably so.

Translation at foot of each paragraph

En primer lugar, véndasele a la población española que las bombas del 11-M se montaron en una casa de Morata propiedad de un miembro de Al Qaeda (Mohamed Needl Acaid). Eso sí, a ese miembro de Al Qaeda no sólo no se le imputa en la causa (debe de ser que las bombas se montaron en su casa por casualidad), sino que ni siquiera llega a tomársele declaración durante la fase de instrucción.

 

[Firstly sell the Spanish public the idea that the 11-M[[11th March 2004 bombings in Madrid] bombs were set up in a house in Morata beonging to an Al-queda  member, Mohamed Needl Acaid. Make sure that this member of Al-queda not only isn’t implicated in the case( the bombs must have been set up there accidently), but isn’t even questioned by the investigating judge.]

The anthrax attack was a classic false flag attack blamed on Arabs

Posted by seumasach on August 5, 2008

George Washington’s Blog

Whether or not Bruce Ivins had a role in the anthrax attacks, trying to now blame him alone for the attacks is ignoring the elephant in the room: the anthrax attack was a classic false flag attack blamed on Arabs.

As we are seeing time and time again, in the “war on terror” there is no suspect like a dead suspect.

Ivins Could Not Have Been Attacker, Some Say

 

By Joby Warrick, Marilyn W. Thompson and Aaron C. Davis

Washington Post

3rd August

For nearly seven years, scientist Bruce E. Ivins and a small circle of fellow anthrax specialists at Fort Detrick’s Army medical lab lived in a curious limbo: They served as occasional consultants for the FBI in the investigation of the deadly 2001 anthrax attacks, yet they were all potential suspects.

Government Tries to Bury Anthrax Story

Posted by seumasach on August 3, 2008

 

George Washington’s Blog

1st August, 2008

The government is trying to bury the 2001 anthrax attack scandal (the anthrax came from a U.S. military base) by claiming that one of the key suspects – Bruce E. Ivins – was a “lone nut” who committed suicide. The government claims that the anthrax letters were an innocent mistake which was “part of an Army scientist’s warped plan to test his cure for the deadly toxin“. Case closed.
