"What the people mailing out anthrax-infected letters are giving us is just a reminder that we can have no real security - in fact, no real future for our children and our grandchildren - until we regain control of our own government," told his radio audience recently. "Americans will never again have real security or real peace of mind until they have regained control of their government and their media.

' - WILLIAM PIERCEAuthor of "The Turner Diaries" As much as the neo-Nazis have been encouraging action by like-minded extremists, the events after Sept. 11 - particularly the anthrax attacks and accompanying hoax threats - have been even more consonant with the terrorism previously engaged in by anti-abortion extremists. Abortion clinics were among the prime targets of a wave of anthrax threats between 1998 and 2000. They also have been the targets of some of the most violent acts of domestic terrorism, from pipe bombings of clinics to the assassination of doctors. Extremists on the far right have long displayed a fascination with anthrax, and certainly have a deeper understanding of how easy it is to terrorize the public with the mere threat of it, but there has never been any indication that anyone from those fringes has actually ever obtained the bacterium. However, that may have changed now; according to recent reportage in The Washington Post, investigators are now belatedly realizing that the source of the anthrax attacks that were first directed at media outlets and key politicians may have been domestic in origin. MISSED CLUESThe clues have been there all along. At the same time that the genuine anthrax arrived in the mailboxes of NBC News and Sen. Tom Daschle, some 130 similar threats - containing only white powder, and not anthrax - were sent to abortion clinics around the country. They were sent by the so-called "Army of God," a leaderless-resistance type of network among anti-abortion extremists; Eric Rudolph, still sought by the FBI for bombing the Atlanta Olympics as well as a couple of abortion clinics and a gay bar, not only once claimed affiliation with it, but sent a couple of such letters after a bombing that used the same style of writing as that sent to Daschle and Tom Brokaw. The neo-Nazi Aryan Nations Web site has proclaimed the terrorist attacks as 'the beginning of the end' for American democracy. Unfortunately, instead of being treated as the acts of genuine terrorism many of the hoax threats were, Ashcroft and the law-enforcement community treated them as mere pranks with no association to the genuine threats. Ashcroft denounced the hoaxes at a press conference, but lumped in the clinic threats with hoaxes that were in fact only pranks. Ashcroft, of course, has a long history of advocacy for anti-abortion causes. At times he has dabbled in sympathizing with far-right extremists, as when he sat for an interview in a neo-Confederate magazine and spoke of sympathy for the cause of the Confederacy.
