Whatever happened to the anthrax terrorist?

Remember the anthrax terrorist? The person (or persons) who killed five people by sending weaponized anthrax to newspapers and government officials shortly after September 11th? The deadly packages included scrawled messages written in cartoon character broken English praising Allah and condemning Israel. In the minds of the public these crude letters lent terror and gut fear to the notion that frightening, dangerous muslims were attacking America from within with indiscriminately deadly weapons.

Emptywheel noticed and reported on a curious exchange between US Sen. Patrick Leahy and Attorney General Michael Mukasey during Senate testimony recently. Curiouser and curiouser.
