But as far as the anthrax goes, I believe the anthrax letter to AMI looked exactly like the ones to the Senators etc.

And to whom was it addressed? Why did Stevens get the anthrax? And why were, reportedly, concentrations of anthrax found on his keyboard?

I'll tell you one thing, It might be a J.Lo. letter, but not the one that came in the package. I have trouble following the "powder" story - It could be different letters, and the "J.Lo." witnesses have been told to shut up.

That's why the AMI attack is strange.

While it's hard to say exactly why those two Senators were targeted, they were both major public figures. The same goes for Tom Brokaw at NBC. ABC is similarly no surprise, assuming from the case of the baby that they got an undiscovered letter (probably addressed to Peter Jennings, I would guess, based on the fact that the NBC letter was addressed to Brokaw).

But why would AMI be targeted? The New York Post is almost as peculiar a target.

I know people spin tales of how the company was called "American Media" and they had been told to target the American media, or how it was all about Jennifer Lopez, or some such thing. I have to say that that kind of speculation seems silly to me (although I'm probably guilty of engaging in it at times :-) ). At the level of power politics we're talking about, people do things for real reasons.

By the way, what happened to CBS? Was it just NBC and ABC? Or did CBS get a letter too, but nobody happened to get infected there?
