This is part two of the Anthrax murders. If you have not listened to last week's episode, please do that first.

In October of 2001, not too long after 9-11, I was doing news commentary for NBC and MSNBC. After the story of the Anthrax killing broke, I was supposed to be on the NBC evening news with Brian Williams.

I got a call from his producer that told me a profile of the unknown offender known as the Anthrax killer had just been released to the press by the FBI.

Essentially the profile said that they believed the unknown offender would be a white male, someone who was a loner, who probably lived by himself, who didn't have any friends, but they said the person wouldn't be super well educated and I could hardly contain my laughter.

I had a very different opinion of who I thought was doing this. I thought the killer would have a lot of letters after his name and what I meant by that.

I thought that he was working in the field of bio research, that he had access to Anthrax through his work, and that he probably was motivated through revenge.

Weeks earlier, shortly after the attack started, I said on the news that I thought the killer once again had a lot of letters after his name and was a homegrown American.

Wow, did I take flack from my colleagues?

When I got out of the TV studio, I turned my phone back on and there was a message from a colleague of mine.

He was a retired terrorism expert, both international terrorism and domestic.

He left a message on my phone that I was so wrong he couldn't believe it.

There was disgust in his voice that I would say it was anything other than state-sponsored, meaning it probably came from Iraq.

I completely disagreed.

So I had a barrage of fingers pointed at me saying I was wrong. Not only the behavioral assessment unit, but my friend who was a terrorism expert.

Guess who turned out to be right?
