As you recall, anthrax terrorism on Sep 18 and Oct 9, 2001 murdered four Americans who worked at the US Post Office at Hamilton New Jersey. It also sickened hundreds. It may have terrorized millions.
The USA PATRIOT Act vote may well have been affected. The Orwellian-named USA PATRIOT Act passed, in anthrax-tinged circumstances, and became law that same week, as you know.
So what is the status of the federal investigation on the anthrax terrorism?
I have not heard anything.
And I lived, and still live, only six miles down the road from Hamilton.
Who remembers the anthrax biological terrorism that murdered several post office workers in Hamilton, New Jersey? Senator Daschle (D) and Senator Leahy (D), and the New York offices of NBC, CBS and ABC television stations, were the addressees of the anthrax laden letters.
It was late September and early October 2001.
Please do not be fooled into believing the perversely popular propaganda about 9/11 being the last terrorism on American soil. Hamilton New Jersey is in America obviously. The citizens near the Hamilton New Jersey Post Office ask for your understanding.
Over six years have passed. It is 2008. I want to know. What is the status of the anthrax murder investigation?
I don't know. But I remember. I don't like my memory. I was terrified to open my mail for months, as were undoubtedly thousands in my area. I was appalled at the intended fear manipulation of the Democratic Senators Daschle and Leahy, timed perfectly to sway them during their preparation for voting on the USA PATRIOT ACT. I don't want this to happen again. I don't want fuzzy generalities about terror. I would much rather hang the perpetrator of this specific attack. You don't stop a specific killer/Senate-vote-manipulator by going after scum generally across America.
Let's ask Hon. Smith. What has the federal government been doing for six years on the anthrax case?
We have heard no reports of progress. I understand top men are on it. Which is confusing. Which is troubling.
Congressman Chris Smith (NJ-R) was the federal US Representative in 2001 at the time of the anthrax, and he still is in 2008. Hamilton Post Office is District 4, Chris Smith's district. As far as the citizens of the Fourth District of NJ are concerned, including Hamilton, Hon. Chris Smith represents the federal government.
Smith may not be your district's member of Congress. But Smith's district is the one and only in the USA where the anthrax terrorism really murdered citizens.
Is real terrorism a national concern in your opinion? Is getting to the bottom of it a concern you share? If you think so, you may also ask Chris Smith about the status of the federal anthrax investigation, even if you are not in his district.
Don't let the federal government off the hook. Aren't you shocked and disappointed that our best professional investigators have reported no progress, no failure, nearly nothing to report in six years? I think it is time for a status report. Don't you?
