I Am A Loyal American, And I

I Have Had Nothing To Do In Any Way, Shape Or Form With The Mailing Of These Anthrax Letters, And It Is Extremely Wrong For Anyone To Contend Or Suggest That I Have.

All Americans Value The Freedom Of Speech And The Freedom Of The Press, And I Believe This Is Essential For Our Continued Way Of Life. But With This Freedom Comes Responsibility. That Responsibility Has Been Abdicated Here By Some In The Media And Some In The Government.

Anthrax Is A Deadly Inhalational Disease.

I Am Extremely Proud Of My Service With The Government And My Efforts To Help Safeguard Public Health And Protect Our Country Against The Scourge Of Offensive Biological Warfare.

But I Am Just As Appalled That My Experience, Knowledge, Dedication And Service Relative To Defending The United States Against Biological Warfare Has Been Turned Against Me In Connection With The Search For The Anthrax Killer.
