The other kind of terrorism

Whatever happened to the anthrax killer? You know, the man who terrorized the entire country for the better part of a month?

At least Scott Shane at the Baltimore Sun remembers:

Tests point to domestic source behind anthrax letter attacks
Army scientists have reproduced the anthrax powder used in the 2001 mail attacks and concluded that it was made using simple methods, inexpensive equipment and limited expertise, according to government sources familiar with the work.

The findings reinforce the theory that has guided the FBI's 18-month-old investigation - that the mailed anthrax was probably produced by renegade scientists and not a military program such as Iraq's.

I guess the anthrax attacks must be another one of those "isolated incidents."
