The timeline points to those connected to the 9/11 attacks.
This woman claims to have opened her anthrax letter "around" 9/18/01. NYC hadn't even started the WTC cleanup. The towers were still smoking. Streets were closed.
Airlines weren't flying the mail yet, either. But NBC already had recieved the anthrax letter.
Notice that the anthrax victim in this story refuses to nail down dates. She opened her letter "around" 9/18. She went back to work "a few days later."
...and the biggee: she doesn't say if the anthrax letter was in a pile of mail from days/weeks past (the Networks get a lot of mail) or from a delivery that day.
She calls her above news column "cathartic," yet she hasn't really told us anything. She's still sticking to the FBI story that her timeline might still support a 9/11 copycat...a domestic rather than a foreign attacker.
It doesn't. There is simply NO WAY that a domestic copycat weaponized anthrax and mailed it to NBC while streets were closed and airlines weren't flying mail between 9/11 and 9/18. Moreover, it's highly likely that her anthrax letter was at NBC some time *prior* to 9/18.
She's the one person who could at least answer/confirm that last item...yet she refuses.
After nearly five years, if you think about it it's actually rather amazing just how much still isn't known by the public about the worst bioterrorist attack on our soil in our history. And needless to say, in that kind of secretive environment all kinds of conspiracy theories will end up flourishing.
That's about one day travel time for an 18 wheeler. So, it was in Philadelphia to be dispatched to a major mailer in the Trenton area on September 10. It could have readily been found and tossed in a tray of other First-Class Mail at the mailer's plant that day, and been on it's way through the nearest MPC (Mail Processing Center) and from there to New York on September 11, or September 12, via ground transportation.
Mail traveling from central New Jersey to New York city does not ordinarily travel by air.
So, yes, all things considered, the lady could have opened that letter on any day from September 13 to September 18, and nothing extraordinary need happen for that to have been possible.
