American Global War on Internal Terrorism of 2001 finally ends on Amerithrax

The 2001 American Global War on Internal Terrorism seems to have come to an end on the September 18 Amerithrax case, as the Federal Bureau of Investigation's new top suspect, Fort Detrick government biodefense scientist Bruce Ivins of Frederick, Maryland apparently committed suicide by overdosing upon learning of his impending prosecution, knowing very well such a dastardly act of internal bioterrorism would lead to a patriotic conviction for high treason with a change of punishment by death penalty.

Just one week after 9-11, letters containing first coarse brown granular then highly refined weaponized dry powder material infected with anthrax spores were mailed to the offices of news media and politicians, including then Senate Majority Leader and South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle, instead killing 5 people and infecting 17 others, all through life threatening anthrax infection, both the less serious cutaneous anthrax and the more dangerous inhalation variety, yet both came from the same bacterial strain known as the Ames strain, originally researched and developed by the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases biofacility at the fort. The first wave of letters came from Trenton, New Jersey and were sent to the media, then a second wave from the same Trenton postmark on October 8, to the Capitol Hill officies of two politicians who both were against the Patriot Act on principles of civil liberties.

It may have reminded many of the Unabomber mail bombing attacks, masterminded by mathematics professor, academic social critic and now federally incarcerated convict Theodore Kaczynski from between 1978 to 1995 from up in Lincoln, Montana, but once the special and secret ingredient of partiotism is added in these days, all bets are off table, especially when one realizes how big it would be for the current adminitration to have Amerithrax solved and wrapped up, giving this case its high priority and uniqueness that rids the so called war of at least one front here at home.
