Sadly, the answer for the FBI seems to be a resounding NO. Yes, the agency J Edgar built into the finest police force in the world, is now in a steel cage match with the CIA to win the coveted title of most incompetent government agency. Seven years after the anthrax attacks and they still have no leads, but are focused on government employees at Fort Dix. Let's look at the facts in this 'mystery'. The letters began appearing shortly after 9/11. Atta was reported by Czech intel as meeting with an Iraqi intel officer in Prague. Iraq was the country most involved with anthrax as a weapon. The first victim was the landlord of 9/11 leader Mohammed Atta. Atta and a fellow hijacker were recognized by a pharmacist as buying salve for their hands burned by exposure to bleach (bleach used in an attempt to sterilize something?), and one had a pronounced hacking (anthrax caused?) cough. After the initial set of letters, there was never another attack, or any attempt at communication by the attacker. Why? To believe the FBI theory, you have to accept that there were disgruntled governmental employees who had access to weaponized anthrax, and decided immediately after 9/11 to mail out contaminated letters and make it appear to be the work of Islamic extremists. Or you could believe the more probable theory that it was the work of Islamic extremists, as the letters themselves indicated. No, the government chooses to blame scientists here, and as a result just had to pay a $5.8 million settlement for smearing the name of one of those scientists.
