McCain was happy to propagate this propaganda on the David Letterman Show on October 18, 2001;

Vital unresolved anthrax questions and ABC News

"Much more important than the general attempt to link the anthrax to Islamic terrorists, there was a specific intent -- indispensably aided by ABC News -- to link the anthrax attacks to Iraq and Saddam Hussein. In my view, and I've written about this several times and in great detail to no avail, the role played by ABC News in this episode is the single greatest, unresolved media scandal of this decade. News of Ivins' suicide, which means (presumably) that the anthrax attacks originated from Ft. Detrick, adds critical new facts and heightens how scandalous ABC News' conduct continues to be in this matter. "

(Clarification: Letterman is on CBS, so this is clearly a tag-team effort. -rep.)
