Several J.Lo. letters. But note above, story says broken soap package for the Sept. 19 package. Or are they repeating the FBI's explanation to them???

Germ-fighting office out to defend country against anthrax
By SANJAY BHATT, The Palm Beach Post
They're the Green Berets of the germ world. They gather intelligence on invading armies of lethal microbes and then try to force them to retreat. They must be ready to leave their families for far-flung places at a moment's notice.
They're officers of the Epidemic Intelligence Service.
The core mission of these 130 men and women: Isolate the cause of an outbreak, prevent its spread and deal with people who could have been exposed.
The EIS has cracked some famous medical mysteries, such as what caused 34 Legionnaires to die after a 1976 convention and why gay men were dying young in the early 1980s.
Now EIS, which is part of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is on one of the biggest missions in its 50-year history: Defending the homeland against anthrax attacks.
....
Today, the program enrolls about 70 officers annually for two-year tours of duty and is more diverse: Medical doctors, dentists, veterinarians, nurses, physician's assistants and those with doctorates in epidemiology, biostatistics or behavioral sciences.

When Stevens, the Lantana man, was diagnosed with inhalational anthrax, bioterrorism was not readily apparent but, in private, investigators said they strongly suspected it. Once they found at least two co-workers of Stevens had been exposed to anthrax spores, the first bioterrorist anthrax attack in the nation was evident. It has spread to three other states and the nation's capital, infected 22 Americans and left five dead. Working with the FBI, another EIS officer, Dr. Carolyn Greene, 34, interviewed many AMI employees to establish the now prevailing theory that Stevens was exposed before Sept. 20, about a week before he showed anthrax symptoms.
CDC officials say two "very suspicious" letters reportedly arrived at AMI on Sept. 19 CDC's top anthrax expert noted it was the second day of Rosh Hashanah and Sept. 25. [sic, and confusing]
The writer of the suspected Sept. 19 letter asked pop star Jennifer Lopez to marry him. The letter, which was folded into three sections, contained a pink-tinged powder and a tiny gold Star of David, employees recalled in a National Enquirer story.
Greene said there were actually several "J. Lo" letters but declined to elaborate.

More Atta-Prague stuff at this link. Note the CIA believe the only reason Atta went through Prague in 2000 was the hope that a non-EU country would be less likely to keep meticulous travel records.
Of course this was the trip where he took the plane to Prague without a Czech visa intitially and then flew back to Hamburg. He then got the visa and took the bus to Prague this time. Then he disappeared for 24 hours and got the plane to the US.
Surely the CIA version can be checked? If he really wanted to avoid meticulous travel records, why did he fly to Prague in the first place? Did he already have a flight ticket to the US by that time? Notice the CIA response conveniently does not discuss the fact that he made this initial flight to Prague.
Also, Tenet claims any April 2001 meeting with Al-Anni would have been too risky. Let's do a thought experiment here - why would Atta meet Al-Anni in person? What if something was transferred to Atta that couldn't be sent any other way - where a private courier was essential? Say this something had originally been sent to Prague in a diplomatic bag from Baghdad.
