Each Friday, I eagerly await the Washington Times’ Inside the Ring column written by Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough. This week Gertz and Scarborough write that the CIA is “building a case that the anthrax attacks of 2001 were in fact the result of an international terrorist plot.”
I bet Stephen Hatfill, the FBI’s “person of interest” will be happy to read about the CIA’s theory.
Today’s column also has these two amusing anecdotes concerning the gasoline shortage in Baghdad.
At one station this week, hundreds of Iraqis lined up for fuel in one of the gas shortage's worst days. Everyone carried some kind of container. A soldier observed one guy cutting in line and motioned for him to go to the back. The man retreated, only to re-emerge at another point and jump in front again. The soldier intercepted him and he walked away. When it happened a third time, in this instance in front of elderly people, the soldier took away his 5-gallon can and drove his bayonet through it several times. The crowd loved it.At another station, a soldier was seen pushing a car from the pump to help jump-start it. Nothing happened. Soldiers looked under the hood. No engine. The Iraqi owner was using it to store gasoline, probably for the black market.
