THE REGAN LETTER

“This letter is confidential and directed to your president, or intelligence chief. Please pass this letter via diplomatic pouch and do not discuss the existence of this letter either in your offices or homes or via any electronic means (phone, telex, fax). If you do not follow these instructions the existence of this letter and its contents may be detected and collected by U.S. intelligence agencies.

“Do not open the internal letter prior to it reaching the intended recipients, if you do and the contents are compromised you will have to answer to your president as to why you were so curious.

“This letter (AA12194107) has been encoded to prevent the comprising of the information it contains. The codes to decode this letter were sent to the following address listed below prior to sending this letter. That letter had similar instructions on how to handle the sealed letter it contains. If the break out codes are not delivered, let me know by placing the ad listed below in the Sunday Washington Post (automobile classified section). If I see that ad I will resend the codes either to the same address or a new one. Please secure both of these letters and limit access to only essential personnel. Should the contents of these letters be comprised to any foreign intelligence agencies your country will lose a great opportunity.

“I am a Middle East, North African analyst for the CIA. I am willing to commit espionage against the United States by providing your country with highly classified information. I have a top-Secret clearance and have access to documents from all of the U.S. intelligence agencies National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Central Command (Centcom), as well as smaller agencies. I have been in the CIA for over twenty years and will be retiring in two years. I feel that I deserve more than the small pension I will receive for all of the years of service at the CIA. I have included the cover page to a classified CIA internal news bulletin, as well as table of contents to the joint-service tactical exploitation of national systems (65) (JTENS), and some satellite photos as proof of my position and willingness to provide your country with classified documents.

“I will be putting myself and my family at great risk. if I am caught I will be imprisoned for the rest of my life, if not executed for this deed. My wife and daughter will be disgraced and harassed by everyone in our community. Considering the risk I am about to take I will require a minimum payment of thirteen million us dollars wire transferred in Swiss francs, the exact amount, before I will risk my life. There are many people from movie stars to athletes in the us who are receiving tens of millions of dollars a year for their trivial contributions. If I am going to risk my life and the future of my family I am going to get paid a fair price. The information I am offering will compromise u.s. intelligence systems worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Thirteen million is a small price to pay for what you will receive.

“I will provide your country with the JTENS manual. This top-secret document will provide you with highly secretive information on us satellites, airborne and ground intelligence systems. You can see from the table of contents and the signature sheet what agencies provided information to be included in this document and the level of detail and importance. Your first thirteen million will buy you vital information systems that cost the U.S. hundreds of billions to build, operate and maintain.

“I will also provide you with a list of the actual locations and orbits of all of the u.s. spy satellites, which can be loaded, into any standard software package. This top-secret information will provide your country with the scheduled times u.s. satellites will be overhead and collecting against your country and when these systems are out of range of your country. I will also send you a number of intelligence reports and documents from a number of intelligence agencies on a variety of topics related to Iraq. This will give you insight into what the US knows about your country as well as examples of the quality of the signals intelligence (SIGNIT) and imagery intelligence (IMINT) systems that spy on you daily. That information alone is worth many times what I am requesting. As a bonus I will also provide you with a number of intelligence reports and documents on your adversary Iran.

“Thirteen million is a small price to pay to have someone within the heart of a u.s. intelligence agency providing you with vital secrets. The knowledge I will provide you can save you billions, by improving your weapon systems tactics, which will limit the us capability to target and destroy your expensive and vital weapon systems and facilities. I doubt this small amount of money means that much to your government but if you are not willing to pay the price don’t bother contacting me, the price is non-negotiable. I am sure you will recognize this offer as a chance of a lifetime and well worth the money. If you are hesitant to invest the thirteen million because you don’t know if the transfer procedure will work successfully then I will allow you to test out the process to see how safe and effective it can be. Instead of sending the documents listed above as the first shipment I will send you the (deleted) as proof of the soundness of the process. This will cost you one million dollars in Swiss francs. send this exact amount to test the process and once you are satisfied you can receive the information and get it out of the u.s. without being detected by the FBI or CIA, we can proceed with the thirteen million dollar transaction.

“I have outlined the procedure to follow to ensure u.s. counter intelligence agents do not detect this transaction. First of all, please keep this letter and break out codes secret, do not refer to it or any of the related operations over any electronic means. Pass all instruction via courier pouch, or person-to-person communications. Limit the number of people who know of this arrangement. Limit the amount of information to all of the players to limit their ability to expose the entire operation.

“The reason I am going to remain anonymous is that most spies are caught because when someone defects to the west they take with them the names of all the western spies they know of. This is why no one would attempt to spy for the Russians today. There are to many Russians turning over their agents to the U.S. Since I do not want to be caught, and you should not want me to be caught, I will remain anonymous. Should I be caught because of a leak on you side of the operation, you lose a source. The US will increase pressure on your country, they will force me to reveal what information I provided you and attempt to neutralize your advantage. No other agent will attempt to work for your country for the fear of being compromised (if you can’t keep a secret then you cannot protect your agents), and most important if I am never caught the US will never know how much or what types of information was compromised. this gives your country the edge by having insight of US capabilities/and weapon systems. It will also create internal (mole hunt) suspicion with in the US intelligence community, which is very destructive and degrades their capability to function effectively.

“Only a very few highly trusted individuals need to know of this operation. Only one person needs to know the bank account numbers I will provide to you. if there is a leak there will be far fewer people to suspect if you know who was involved with this operation. Following the instructions listed below will help ensure the security of this operation. as an added safe guard I have encoded my bank account number separately should this letter be intercepted by the US intelligence agencies some of the codes to the text will be broken out using the super computers at NSA but the encoded bank account numbers will be impossible to break out. I will provide you with the instructions on how to break out the bank account numbers after you contact me and establish a representative in the US this precaution will ensure no foreign intelligence agency will be able to break out the bank numbers even if they intercepted both of the letters I have sent you. Once you have the bank number keep it separate from any reference to this spying activity. the people who transfer the money should not know why it is being transferred. There cannot be any association between the funds you transfer to me and your country. This means you must have a person (unknown to foreign intelligence agencies) with fake identification open an account in either Liechtenstein or Austria and begin to deposit the millions of Swiss francs via untraceable cash, gold, diamonds. You cannot wire transfer the money from any of your other bank accounts because this will leave a trail back to your country and might even tip-off US intelligence agencies of our activities.

“Hand carried cash or other nontraceable commodity is the only way to ensure this transaction is not detected and traced, have your agent open a new account in one of those countries listed and deposit untraceable money into it. You can sell some diamonds or gold or remove cash from another account but it must be hand carried to the new bank without being followed any intelligence agents.

“Deposit that clean money into the account. If there is any question in my mind that it is not clean I will not touch it and abort the operation. do not attempt to find out my identity, if I detect surveillance from your country or my own I will abort this operation and destroy all evidence and deny any allegations of wrong doing against me. I have used a false identity to open the bank account to prevent tracing. It’s in the best interest of both parties to ensure that my identity, and this transaction, is kept secret forever.

“If the us government finds out what is going on they will shut down your vital flow of information, and attempt to neutralize as much of the compromised information as possible. They will attempt to punish your country as well as me for this activity. This response is why very few within the U.S. intelligence community would even think of spying against the US. So as a precaution, I will insure no foreign intelligence agency will be able to break out the bank numbers even if they intercepted both of the letters I have sent you.

“If you reveal any of this intelligence to another nation (Russia, china, etc.) you will probably result in compromising the operation. first they will attempt to identify your agent (me). If that fails they will use the information to bargain with the u.s. on other issues. Either way you lose, so be careful whom you provide the intelligence to. The first thing I need you to do is to make a minor change to your UN homepage to prove to me that you are not the FBI setting a trap for me.

“I have a printout of your UN page that starts as follows and end with. If you make some minor changes to this page (switch one word for another, add a comma, or change some numbers) This will let me know that you have received both letters and are planning on proceeding with the plan. I need you to place a representative in the USA or activate someone who is currently in the U.S. who you can trust and I can contact. Select a loyal Iraqi student who is attending a U.S. college or a trusted person living in the U.S. who would not be suspected of working for your government and who has a private apartment or house to be my point of contact.

“If you try to plant a new agent in the country you stand a good chance of getting detected. Have this person establish a 1-800 phone number in his home. he does not need to know who I am or how I got his phone number. if he is caught he cannot compromise the entire operation. Have someone else who is not associated with the Iraqi government place the following ad listed below in the Wednesday Washington post newspaper. have him add the agent’s 1-800 number to the information provided. Reverse the 1-800 number before you provide it to the one placing the ad. This will add additional security to the number (if 1-800-456-2738 was the number, change it to 1-800-837-2654), then drop the 1-800 and add (703) 837-2654, I will know to drop the (703) when I use the number.

“The person placing the ad does not need to know why he is placing the ad, just have him do it and forget about it. You must insure that the us counter intelligence officers are unaware of this persons existence as an agent of Iraq. If they accidentally find out he put out an ad they will attempt to figure out the correct phone number. If they do they will be monitoring your agent and intercept the shipment of information. this would tip them off to my existence and a manhunt will begin to find out my identity. Also insure you maintain security when you pass him and the other person instructions on what to do. This is why I keep mentioning security of the letters and the related operations. If your people are careful the us government will never know this transaction occurred.

“I will be watching the papers for the next two months, when I see the ad listed below and get the phone number I will contact your agent. Your agent should not know about the ad only that someone will call and request his name and mailing address. I will call him and ask to speak with (john Stevens) he should respond that his name is Jacob. I will request his roommates name and address. He should be ready to give me his full name and mailing address (street, state, zip). I will mail him the instructions on how to decode the bank account number which he can pass on to you. I will only remain on the line for two-minute intervals to prevent anyone from tracing me. this includes your people, the NSA or FBI. Insure your messages to me are short and ready to go when I call. Send the exact amount requested in the currency requested (Swiss francs). I will wait for you to transfer the money to my account once that is verified I will mail FedEx the package to the address provided. I will call the contact prior to sending the package so he is ready to receive it.

“I will call again in two weeks to ensure your agent has received the package and was able to get it out of the country safely. when he receives the information you need to establish a secure way to get the package out of the country without getting detected. I would suggest you have someone go by the agent’s house and pick up the package and drive it to new York. rent a hotel room under a false name and pay with cash or with a false credit card. Insure he does not leave his fingerprints anywhere in the hotel, at the front desk, or in the room, or on the package. Leave the package in the suitcase in the closet then place the room key in an envelope. Either hide the envelope somewhere for pick up, or give it to the front desk with the name of the person who will pick it up.

“Then this agent will call someone from your U.N. mission at their home phone, using a pay phone, and provide him the name of the hotel and location of the key. that person will drive to the hotel and receive the package and take it to the U.N. and put it into the diplomatic pouch for shipment back to Iraq. If your U.N. person is followed by the FBI they will not know what is in the suitcase or who left it in the room. If you have a direct pass off of the information you increase the likely hood of being detected and leading the FBI back to my contact and compromising the whole operation. If you think your UN person would be tracked and detained by the FBI then I would recommend you have some one pick up the package from my contact and put it into a back pack and walk over one of the many us/Mexico border crossings, acting like a tourist on a day trip to Mexico. this person walking over will be less likely to be searched on either side of the border. If you drive across you stand the chance that you will be randomly checked and they will find the classified information in your car. These are my suggestions it is up to you to get the information out of the country. I am only obligated to get it to you agent to receive my payment.

“If the phone line is disconnected or when I call I do not get the code name Jacob than I will assume the agent was caught or on the run. If this occurs reestablish contact via the same ad and a new 1-800 number. If you never told your agent how I got his phone number he cannot reveal it to the FBI. This will allow us to continue without worrying about FBI surveillance. I will resend the information using the same procedures to the new contact. If first shipment goes well I will contact your agent with instructions on where to send the thirteen million to a new bank account. when the funds are confirmed I will send the complete package to your agent. after that I will send your agent a package every three months. You can review the information and then provide me a payment. I expect minimum of three million dollars for each shipment of information that is good, and five million for information that is considered extremely important to your government. This will continue until I am either caught, suspected or retire or if you decide you have received enough information.

Brian P. Regan was greedy and also tried to sell his information to an enemy of the Islamists, the miscreant from Libya, Gaddafi the Kafir. U.S. officials learned from a CIA agent that Libya had received classified U.S. national defense documents. They included electronic images taken by satellites, a CIA intelligence report and a secret document related to a foreign country's satellite capability. They traced the information back to Regan and found that he was using computers in public libraries to communicate. He was arrested and charged only with attempting to give information to an enemy of America, so that the source in Libya would not be compromised.

Jonathan Shapiro also handled to case of Harold James Nicholson, accused of spying for Russia for $120,000. Shapiro asked for CIA materials and the right to subpoena a CIA employee he said could help exonerate He also asked a magistrate judge to discourage Deutch and FBI Director Louis J. Freeh from commenting publicly. Nicholson, 46, was arrested at Dulles while preparing to fly to Switzerland for a meeting with Russian spy handlers. Shapiro asked for audiotapes of polygraph tests given to Nicholson.

Nina Ginsberg, a lawyer who represented the former FBI agent, Earl Pitts, who is now serving a 27-year sentence for espionage, also represented Regan. She also represented an Australian intelligence agent who pleaded guilty before Judge Brinkema to stealing classified American documents. Judge Brinkema is now presiding over the case of Brother Moussouai, would be bio-jihadist.

On August 11, 2002 Hatfill launched a counter-offensive. “I went from being someone with pride in my work, pride in my profession, to being made into the biggest criminal of the 21st century, for something I never touched. What I’ve been trying to contribute, my work, is finished. My life is destroyed.”

In mid-August 2002 the FBI in Quantico began examining the Daschle hoax letter and the1997 and 1999 hoax letters. Hatfill girlfriend began cooperating with the FBI and information has been presented to a grand jury. This month, the FBI sent some 600 environmental samples to the state Health Department lab in Trenton for testing. One sample, taken from the curbside mailbox in Princeton, came back positive Thursday for anthrax. The mailbox with anthrax spores in it is at the corner of Nassau and Bank in Princeton. It is in the downtown Princeton commercial district right across the street from Princeton University. Nassau St. is also NJ Route 27, which goes northeast to Franklin Park, NJ and Kendall Park, NJ. The Greenbrook School is about 1/4 mile off of Route 27 about 10 to 15 miles from the mailbox.

The decision to test all of the boxes came after federal investigators received calls from residents about suspicious-looking people putting letters in public mailboxes. One caller said someone who appeared to be wearing latex gloves dropped a letter into a box.

At least one person, a receptionist at The Glenmede Trust Co., told investigators that she recognized the man in the photo. "I just saw him in passing," said the receptionist, who asked not to identified. "There are a lot of people around here who've seen the guy." A female employee of a Palmer Square coffee shop said she told investigators yesterday she recognized the picture of the white man shown to her by an FBI agent and police officer.

On August 13, 2002 Victor M. Glasberg filed complaints with the Office of Professional Responsibility for the Justice Department and the FBI, asking that officials investigate and sanction any improper actions. Glasberg also filed a complaint against the attorney general, saying that Ashcroft continues to publicly stigmatize Hatfill by describing him as a "person of interest." Glasberg said that discussing Hatfill's status "legitimizes intense scrutiny of every aspect of this uncharged, presumptively innocent person's life. Who among us could withstand such an inquiry? I'd like to see if John Ashcroft could."

The first recipient of the anthrax letters was American Media Publisher David Pecker, a prominent Jew under consideration to be appointed to the Board of Trustees of Florida Atlantic University by Governor Jeb Bush. His newspaper, the National Enquirer, had been selling rolls of toilet paper with the picture of Osama Bin Laden printed on each sheet.

The New York Post was also sent a letter containing anthrax. Rupert Murdoch owns The Post. The Islamists believe that Murdoch specializes in spreading the Zionist thinking that contributes daily to hiding the crimes committed by Jews against Palestinians and changes the Palestinian resistance into “terrorism.” He is now on this list of companies being boycotted by those who oppose Israel and Zionism.

NBC received an anthrax letter. General Electric now owns NBC, but NBC News president Andrew Lack is Jewish, as are executive producers Jeff Zucker (Today), Jeff Gralnick (NBC Nightly News), and Neal Shapiro (Dateline). For most of its existence NBC was owned by David Sarnoff and then by his son Robert. General Electric, may not be owned by Jews, but is still perceived as such and that is why it was targeted.

ABC received anthrax. Disney owns ABC: Even though it has some Arab investment and sells to the Arab world more 100 million dollars a year, Disney’s resources are perceived as helping Zionists around the world. Michael Eisner, who is Jewish, runs Disney.

CBS received anthrax. For most of its existence William S. Paley owned CBS. Paley was the son of successful tobacco merchant Samuel Paley, a Jewish Russian immigrant. The Westinghouse Electric Corporation purchased CBS. Nevertheless, the man appointed by Laurence Tisch, Eric Ober, remained president of CBS News until the mid 1990’s, and Ober is Jewish. Viacom now owns CBS. Viacom Chairman, Sumner Redstone, is the son of a nightclub owner whose father changed the family name from Rothstein. Mel Karmazin is the CEO of CBS. The son of a New York cabdriver, he is a Jew who put Howard Stern on the airwaves.

Many Americans believe the networks are biased in favor of Israel. But this is not the case. Many Jews in the media are self-destructive fools who will bend over backwards to look objective in the eyes of the American public. Many Zionists accuse ABC of a pro-Palestinian bias: “It’s evidently a personal thing with Peter Jennings - his Israel problem. Other journalists make mistakes, or write an occasional one-sided article or fall into clichéd story lines - usually without particular malice or calculation. But ABC’s veteran anchor (and senior editor) of World News Tonight betrays a bias that runs deep and sly.”

The Islamists and Hatfill agreed on two members of the “Zionist Occupied” American Congress who were to receive the anthrax for specific reasons. Hatfill insisted that liberal Democrats, who he despised, receive the gifts. The Islamists wanted Zionists to be the recipient. So they choose Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy.

In 1998 Senate Minority Leader Daschle, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, demonstrated his support Israel before 2,000 of the faithful at the end of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) annual conference. Daschle received $45,505 as his reward. Since 1978 Daschle received $382,630 from the Israel lobby. On September 6, 2001, Daschle, co-sponsored S. 2194, the Middle East Peace Commitments Act. This bill was to impose these sanctions on the Palestinians if Bush determined that they continued to violate their commitments to the United States and the Zionist entity:

1) Down grading the office of the PLO representative to the U.S.

2) Denial of visas to officials of the PLO/PA.

3) Designating terrorist elements of the PLO as foreign terrorist organizations.

4) Prohibiting all but humanitarian aid to the West Bank and Gaza.

Arab Americans thought that S. 2194 was totally one-sided. They claimed that it did not recognize the devastation dealt to the Palestinian civilian infrastructure under Israeli occupation. It failed to recognize the existence of an Israeli occupation in Palestine. It did not address Israeli illegal settlement activity in the West Bank and Gaza. It made no reference to Israeli government policies or military actions against the Palestinian civilian populations, including collective punishment. In July 2002 the Israelis threatened collective punishment against the families of so-called terrorists and rounded up 21 males relatives of two fugitive Palestinian militants. These people were to be deported to Gaza or to another country. This was intended to break up family support systems for suicide bombers, since their families each receive $25,000 from Iraq and additional funds from the Saudis. Saddam has so far provided $5m in aid to Gaza families that have lost family members as “martyrs.” Hamas threatened to target the families of Israeli officials if this plan was implemented. This pressure, combined with Israeli civil rights groups, and the unwillingness of the Israeli Supreme Court to go along with it, caused the Israelis to abandon the plan. (66)

Daschle is in charge of these Jewish politicians in the Senate: Barbara Boxer, Russell Feingold, Dianne Feinstein, Herb Kohl, Frank Lautenberg, Carl Levin, Joseph Lieberman, Charles Schumer, Paul Wellstone, Ron Wyden - all Democrats. The only Jewish Republican is Arlen Specter. The Jew haters resent the fact that three percent of the electorate are Jewish and eleven Jews out of one hundred Senators are Jews.

The other target was Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, another Democrat, who heads the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Foreign Operations. This “liberal” supplied the Israel with the military equipment that is used to kill Palestinians. In the past Senator Leahy had criticized aid to Israel but his concern for the U.S. budget has been more than offset by his fear that Israel's lobby will finance his opponents. So far he has received $118,200 from the Zionist lobby.

In 1993, the Leahy campaigned against Israel's $4.3 billion share of U.S. economic and military aid. After warning about Israel’s growing share of a declining U.S. foreign aid budget, Leahy cast his vote in favor of Israel. That year Patrick Leahy allowed Israel to refinance outstanding loans used to purchase military equipment from the U.S. that have interest rates of between 8 and 110 percent. Such refinancing, which saved Israel millions of dollars in interest, was previously limited to loans carrying interest rates of greater than 10 percent. In 1995 Leahy voted to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

At a recent conference on globalization Leahy scolded his colleagues in Congress for giving too much foreign aid to Israel, and said that too little aid flows to poverty stricken nations: "I’ve been critical of the aid we’ve given to Israel. But the same complaint could be made of a number of wealthy Muslim countries. They’re not giving aid to the poorest of their own people." Leahy noted that two-thirds of U.S. government aid goes to only two countries: Israel and Egypt.

Ramzi Ahmed Yousef said: “The U.S. government gives military aircraft to the Jewish state so the Jews can continue fighting and killing. All of this is a result of the U.S. government's financial and military support of the Jewish state. All people who support the U.S. government are our target.”

In August 2001, Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, condemned Israel's attacks on Palestinian civilians and called on its members, supporters and all people and organizations of conscience to demand that the U.S. terminate all aid to Israel immediately. Leahy received many e-mails and letters that he disregarded until one was sent with a white powder that he could not ignore!

Al-Awda claims to fight for the right of return for all refugees forced to leave their homes as a result of the Zionist usurpation of Palestine in 1948. Al-Awda is aware of the findings of Dr. Wahid Abd Al-Magid, editor of the Arab Strategic Report published in London annually by the "Al Ahram Institute for Strategic Studies," that has advocated putting an end to the Israeli-Arab conflict by changing the demographic balance within Israel. There are 3,677,882 Palestinian refugees registered with the UN. Numbering 1.1 million, Palestinians make up 20 percent of Israel’s total claimed population of 6.1 million. If these refugees return to Israel the number of indigenous people will soon outnumber the Israelis due to Israel’s low birth rate. Among Palestinians living under the rule of the Palestinian Authority, the annual birth rate is 40 for every 1,000 people. Among Palestinians living within Israel it is 36 per 1,000. The birth rate among Jews is only 18.3 per 1,000, less than half the rate of the Palestinians. After the Arabs become a majority “the Zionist entity” will become “the Zionist non-entity” and the Jews will be back from where they started - a minority group within Palestine.

Epidemiologists have suggested the first outbreaks of anthrax might have occurred in Biblical times. The book of Exodus describes 10 plagues that affected both humans and animals in Egypt. The fifth plague was murrain, a cattle-pest, which killed the Egyptians' livestock. In the sixth plague, boils erupted on men and beasts. One of the symptoms of anthrax is boils. We pray that the almighty afflicts Hatfill, and all those fooled by him or in sympathy with him because of his activities in Rhodesia and South Africa, in a similar fashion to what Hatfill inflicted on a journalist, mailcarriers, a nurse and a little old lady from Pasadena.

MURKY PAST OF US BIOWARRIOR

MARLENE BURGER

Two months ago an Internet search for information about Steven Jay Hatfill would have produced less than a dozen results, confined to scientific research bearing his name. This week surfers can choose from close on 7000 "hits", ranging from a 50-page diatribe by the Jewish Defence Organisation -- which dubs the American doctor "Steven Mengele" and challenges him to sue for defamation -- to reports in French, German, Spanish, Danish, even Vietnamese.

THE FORWARD

THE FEATHERMAN FILE of Noteworthy Items in the Press

Hatfill Rumors August 16, 2002: Sources reached by the Forward say they can vouch for stories in South African newspapers reporting that Dr. Steven Hatfill, the scientist under scrutiny by the FBI in connection with the recent deadly anthrax attacks, boasted that he had close ties to imprisoned South African neo-Nazi leader Eugene Terre'Blanche.

Two sources who worked with Hatfill at the University of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape confirmed reports that ran in Cape Times and other newspapers last month saying that Hatfill bragged of connections with Terre'Blanche. Hatfill said he trained elite bodyguards in Terre'Blanche's Afrikaner Resistance Movement, or AWB, in 1987 or 1988, sources told the Forward. A photo of Terre'Blanche surrounded by his brigade, including Hatfill in uniform, hung in the university's radiobiology lab in the department of radiation oncology, where Hatfill worked, sources said. The sources, who asked to remain anonymous, said they were no longer able to find the photo.

Cape Times reported in July that Hatfill trained the AWB's Aquila Brigade. Other South African newspapers in the area that are owned by the same publisher, the Independent News & Media, picked up the story. Reached by the Forward, the Cape Times reporter, Tony Weaver, stood by his article and said it had been corroborated by several sources. He declined to reveal them. "He's very well known about Cape Town," Weaver said about Hatfill.

But an AWB "executive councilor," Andre Visagie, reached in Kimberly, South Africa, denied the connection. Visagie said there was no record or memory of Hatfill's alleged involvement with the AWB and that Terre'Blanche, whom Visagie contacted in prison, never heard of him. "These accusations are aimed at stopping Mr. Terre'Blanche's release from prison," said Visagie, whose leader was sentenced to six years in jail for a beating in 1997 that left a black worker paralyzed.

Visagie also claimed there had been no Aquila training camps where Hatfill was said to have been stationed, and that they only existed in Transvaal, in the north. But Keith Conroy, a former Aquila instructor, who confirmed reports that he was the chief trainer of the AWB's armed wings, told the Forward there were such camps near Hatfill's university. He said, however, that he does not remember meeting Hatfill, and that he would have remembered someone with an American accent.

The American-born Hatfill, a medical doctor, spent 15 years in southern Africa, returning to the United States in 1995. Although the FBI has searched Hatfill's home, they have not labeled him a suspect in the anthrax attacks. Hatfill denounced the news media this week and vehemently denied any connection to the attacks.

A friend and spokesman for Hatfill, Pat Clawson, told the Forward: "I've known the man for several years and I have never ever heard Steve speak of blacks, Jews or any other people with a racist connotation."(Guess who was behind this article? The JDO!)

Only 14 cases of skin anthrax have been detected in Britain in the last 20 years. But two British cases were reported soon after the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States last year. "Two cases in six months, compared with 14 in 20 years, statistically does not tell you a lot but it does raise the possibility that there are more cases that go undiagnosed," said Dr. Charles Penn, of the Center for Applied Microbiological Research (CAMR), a government institute. Hatfill visited England in October 2001, but this is pure coincidence.

"I've been told that the GAO has been asked to investigate the FBI's investigation of the anthrax deaths, kind of an unusual request but I think it shows that even Congress doesn't have much faith in the agency ever solving this case". Response from GAO: Earlier this month, GAO received a request from the House and Senate Intelligence Committees to review the ability of the law enforcement community to combat chemical and biological terrorist attacks in the United States. Among other things, we were asked to look at whether the FBI has the resources and proper analytical depth needed to pursue avenues and leads and on technologies available to perform anthrax decontamination and to detect anthrax. We are currently in the planning stages for this work. LK, Office of Public Affairs

ANSWER TO THE DAILY STANDARD

First of all, argument again persona is a logical fallacy. The author of this website could be the worst person in the world and still be right about a particular issue. Aside from any other argument what about the fact that Hatfill obtained his position without having earned a B.S. degree, a PhD. or having been certified to practice medicine within the United States. It is scary that someone could gain access to America’s most virulent germs on the basis of a forged instrument, to wit: an affidavit from a British law firm attesting to the fact he earned a PhD. The South African Press has been investigating Hatfill’s other claims on his CV such as his having attended a Maritime Institute and found them to be groundless. An unstable person such as Hatfill, a liar, should not have access to potential bioweapons.

What is the FBI’s motive in going after him? Is he a former Black Panther? An unreconstructed Communist? Would you be defending Hatfill if he were a member of the Green Party? The FBI has some evidence, obtained in an unconventional manner, which has convinced it of this guilt. This evidence, however, is inadmissible in court because of the manner in which it was collected.

There is no political motive on the part of the FBI to have singled him out. Normally conservatives have a deep faith in the judicial system and law enforcement. Hoover was a darling of the right. What has changed? Is it because of a deep-seated admiration for Hatfill’s having been part of the Selous Scouts and killed communist insurgents in Rhodesia?

MORE ON LARRY WAYNE HARRIS

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Microbiologist. Author of a vanity press book on surviving germ warfare. Officer for the white supremacist group Aryan Nations.

"He scares me," an Ohio neighbor said of Larry Wayne Harris, who sat Thursday in a cell here, charged with possessing the fearsome germ warfare agent anthrax.

FBI agents were scared too, when they arrested Harris and a companion. They had the men's Mercedes wrapped in plastic and spirited off to a secure Air Force base for testing.

Harris, according to a sketchy FBI account, once told an unspecified group about plans to plant a "globe" of bubonic plague toxins on the New York subway tracks in an attack calculated to kill hundreds of thousands of people and ruin the economy.

The motive for the alleged scheme isn't spelled out in an FBI affidavit filed here. Nor does the government say what it thinks Harris, 46, and William Job Leavitt Jr., 47, were doing here with vials of a substance believed to be anthrax.

Harris' statements about the subway sabotage allegedly were made in the summer of 1997, two years after he was arrested in Ohio with three vials of bubonic plague toxins in the glove compartment of his car.

He pleaded guilty in 1995 to mail fraud for using his company's letterhead to order the germs from a biological supply house in Maryland and was put on 18 months probation.

Harris maintained at the time that he never intended to hurt anybody, that he wanted the bacteria for research on his book, the self-published "Bacteriological Warfare: A Major Threat to North America."

The book is cast as instructions on how to survive a biological attack. The Klanwatch project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extremist groups, contends it amounts to manual for biological terrorism."I am a scientist. I am absolutely of no harm to anyone. I never, never intended to hurt anyone," he said at the time.

The FBI affidavit, based on testimony of an anonymous doctor who turned the men in, says Harris and Leavitt approached him about a project to test an electronic device intended to deactivate viruses and bacteria.

In a 1997 interview for a TV documentary, Harris claimed he got anthrax spores by sinking a long metal probe into a 20-year-old burial site for cows infected with the disease. Harris claimed he successfully cultured the spores in his lab, but refused to say if he possessed anthrax, said James Neff, who conducted the interview.

Neff, Kiplinger Professor of Journalism at Ohio State University, collaborated on the never-aired documentary with Oregon Public Broadcasting; parts of their tape were aired on ABC Thursday.

According to Neff, Harris described how someone could create a deadly broth from the anthrax culture, put it in a pressurized paint sprayer and then spread the deadly germs from a low-flying airplane like a crop duster. It would kill at least 100,000, Harris said, and be undetectable. "No smell, no taste, no kaboom," he quoted Harris as saying.

The FBI affidavit says Harris claimed to be a lieutenant colonel in the Idaho-based white supremacist group Aryan Nations. The group's leader, Richard Butler, at first denied a connection, then said Harris was a member from the early 1990s until 1995.

"He scares me, especially for his racist remarks and because he's been involved in some far-right groups," said Verna Linehan, 50, who lives a few houses away from Harris in Lancaster, 30 miles southeast of Columbus.

In another odd twist to his story, Harris was called as a witness last summer in the trial of an Ohio man charged with assaulting a police officer who pulled him over driving a car stuffed with two guns, 400 rounds of ammunition and alleged bomb ingredients.

Defendant Stephen Wharf, then 23, pleaded innocent by reason of insanity and his lawyer contended Harris' message of hate helped push Wharf over the edge. In his testimony, Harris talked about how Iranian terrorists are poised to start biological warfare in the United States.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An Ohio man arrested in a Nevada anthrax scare was given a longer, more restrictive probation Tuesday for telling people he was with the CIA. Larry Wayne Harris, 46, of Lancaster, was on 18 months' probation from a 1995 conviction for illegally ordering bubonic plague bacteria by mail. On Tuesday a judge wiped the remaining six months off the books and gave him another year -- effectively putting him on probation for an extra six months.

Harris and Nevada resident William Job Leavitt Jr., 47, of Logandale, were arrested in Las Vegas on Feb. 18 after an FBI informant said they claimed to have deadly, military-grade anthrax in their possession.Charges against Harris and Leavitt were dismissed Feb. 23 after tests showed the material was a harmless anthrax veterinary vaccine.

Some of those charges -- that he claimed to have deadly anthrax and produced infectious disease, bacteria or germs at his home in Lancaster, about 30 miles south of Columbus -- later were dismissed by federal Magistrate Mark Abel for lack of evidence. But Abel found there was enough evidence to hold a hearing on other accusations of probation violation, and Harris was released to face probation violation charges in Ohio.

During a U.S. District Court hearing in Columbus, Harris admitted Tuesday that he violated probation by lying about an association with the CIA and failing to tell authorities that he switched hotel rooms while he was in Las Vegas. Judge Joseph Kinneary imposed the new probation, which will require Harris to report to a probation officer more often. Harris also was ordered to serve 50 hours of community service. He could have been sentenced to up to five years in jail for violating probation."I am sorry for any inconvenience I caused the court," Harris told Kinneary. Later, as he left court, Harris said only that he felt "fantastic" but wouldn't comment further. "Larry has done nothing wrong. He committed no crimes," his attorney Curt Griffith said after the hearing. Griffith then warned Harris: "Don't let the word `CIA' come out of your mouth." Harris smiled in response.
