Still, we must remain calm and continue to search for multiple confirmations (this is simply too serious to leave with any percentage of error).

I'm monitoring AP Breaking News and AP Florida News at Tampa Bay Online...

Can somebody pick up Reuters (JohnHuang2, ya there?) and the other wire services.

LarryLied, can you keep an eye on the local station's site?

Just heard here in Phoenix, KFYI 550 AM, during an update on the bombing, that a "second case of anthrax is being investigated." Heard it coming into the room but didn't hear the entire blurb. There will probably be more during the news at the bottom of the hour. Will be listening.

If you were a member of the Arkansas Mafia, or other crime group, wouldn't now be a good time to even the score with those you have a beef with?

For example, take the harmless powder in the envelope in Hialeah. Probably was just a sick prankster, but the fact that they waited a day before calling the police and going to the hospital makes me a bit suspicious(though perhaps the amount of powder was so tiny that the recipient thought it maybe just dust from shipment). Say hypothetically that this family was in trouble with unsavory characters, perhaps involved in drug running. So the criminals get even by sending this hoax, receiver sweats a night thinking either he dies of poison, or he goes to the hospital and faces scrutiny that may reveal his drug running. (Again, just giving a hypothetical to make my point)

Now lets go to the Enquirer(are we sure it was in this building, I thought the guy worked for the Sun? Same owner?). Despite sharing the same lawyer(Kendall) with $3 Bill, the Enquirer has made life difficult for several high profile Dems. Now at first glance one would think it foolish to attempt such skullduggery when all the power of the FBI/CIA/Elliot Ness will descend, yet if a shadowy group has successfully operated without hindrance all these years, the boldness fits the pattern, and certainly sends the message to others to clam up, else they to face the wrath of the DNC goonsquad.

Not saying I buy all this, but something to consider. As I've told my Dem friends all along(many of whom are starting to see the light), don't rule anything out.
