The DNA of the anthrax attacks just after 9/11 were linked directly to US military stockpiles. This proves ability, intent, and hints at motive (police state).
And targeting the tabloids was a masterstroke.
This was in main stream news internationally on many reputable media conglomerate networks. some examples:

"It is the forensic information that determined the source of the 2001 Bacillus Anthracis mailing to be derived from a unique pool of spore proporation known as RMR-1029 that was maintained at U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Disease, Fort Detrick, Maryland. From now on I will refer to that USAMRIID."

Wouldn't they have just generated a new strain that couldn't be traced to there known stockpiles and it wouldn't have been difficult for them to do so.
""The FBI was very careful to keep everything secret from us that we didn't need to know," University of Maryland researcher Steven Salzberg said. "Our job was to sequence those genomes and tell them if we found differences and which samples they were."
Salzberg and his colleagues first cultured the samples and noticed that while they appeared the same in spore form, four of the samples had slightly different-looking colonies when matured. They sequenced these oddballs and noticed that each sample had the same set of four genetic mutations.
"There were four particular isolates [colonies] with their own unique genetic markers that were all found together in one tube at Fort Detrick," Salzberg told LiveScience. "These four different types were in this test tube, and all four were also found in three of the letters."
There are over 5 million nucleotides (which come in four types) in the genomes of anthrax, and so it is very unlikely that different cultures developed the same three mutated strains independently. "The likelihood that happened by chance is vanishingly small," Salzberg said. "It can really only happen if the samples came from the same source.""
Hmmm - you are not playing along with the "all evil comes from the USA" theme here. Try saying "...and I bet they helped hijack some planes" if you want the cool kids to like you
I think the USA is being set up to be the boogey man of the world. While I love this country and know it has done some great things, that has nothing to do with the fact that it has also repeatedly perpetrated horrible atrocities all over the globe and domestically. That being said, you keep on making those ad hominem attacks and illuminating your own ignorance to your hearts content.
