Is MICKEY MOUSE protecting terrorists?

[Vinnie From Indy]

Isn't it just the perfect irony that Disney's ABC NEWS is at the center of the lies surrounding the Anthrax attacks of 2001?

Glenn Greenwald has an excellent recap of the participation of ABC News and their reporter Brian Ross in the Anthrax attacks of 2001. It was Ross that reported that there was BEntonite in the samples mailed to Leahy, Daschle and others. Peter Jennings added during the broadcast that only Iraq used Bentonite in their biological warfare programs. Ross claims that he had three (and then four) highly placed sources that confirmed the presence of Bentonite in the mailed samples. As we know now, there was never any Bentonite in the samples and the sources obviously lied to Ross. One must ask why they would lie about such a thing and who would benefit from the lies. Obviously, the ABC News reporting the Iraq tie-in aided greatly the Bush Administrations march to war with Iraq not to mention the all out assault on our Constitution.

Why is ABC News and Ross refusing to name the sources that lied to them about this aspect of the story? Is it not obvious that the sources that lied to Ross might be also be the suspects in the attacks?
