[fhmyzzsa] The most confused man on the planet

There were exactly two people who knew that the anthrax attacks following September 11 were not perpetrated by Osama bin Laden: the perpetrator, presumed to be Bruce Ivins, and Osama bin Laden.

With everyone assuming the anthrax attacks were also his doing, Osama bin Laden must have then been the most confused man on the planet.  Unlike the relatively simple brute force of the jet plane attacks, here was a completely independent vastly more technically sophisticated attack happening at the same time, requiring planning, materials, and methods that he could only dream of.  As the dread of the contaminated mail system and potential for epidemic struck true fear into every American receiving mail for weeks, perhaps Osama bin Laden's greatest fear was his masterpiece being upstaged by a terrorist whose goals were to become revealed as contradicting those of Al Qaeda.
