You and I are not experts in these things so it pays to read the report, like where it says you have to get vaccinated to handle the stuff, which is apparently a bit more complicated than just popping down to the drugstore, especially if you're keen on not having the vaccine order traced back to you. There could be other, classified reasons having to do with weaponizing, behind Ms. Rosenberg's question about whether or not the perp had advance knowledge. I'm just completing the train of thought that she prudently left hanging.
If I were to speculate wildly, I might say that this was no lone nut caper but a black operation aimed at forcing a policy decision, viz war with Iraq. To be perfectly candid that's what looks perfectly obvious to me but I won't push it out of respect for the American belief in the sanctity of the lone nut.
