OBVIOUSLY, THE ANTHRAX-BY-MAIL ATTACKS NEVER HAPPENED — otherwise surely the FBI would have found something by now:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – No traces of anthrax have been found from a Maryland pond that the FBI drained in June as part of its investigation into the 2001 deadly anthrax attacks, law enforcement officials said on Friday.

They said the laboratory tests on the soil samples had been completed fairly soon after the draining of the pond located in a municipal forest owned by the city of Frederick, which is about 50 miles from Washington, D.C.

The FBI began the draining on June 9 and it took about three weeks, the officials said. The FBI spent just under $250,000 on it.

“The results did not turn up anything,” one official said.

And they’ve had access to the entire country for months! Years, even.
