I suppose the drugs you are taking will also help reconcile your statement "She's confirming that she was MAKING AN ASSUMPTION by making a general statment and implying it was true for the attack anthrax." with the first two sentences of the AFIP report? :
When US Army investigators at Ft Detrick, Md, examined anthrax found in a letter sent to Sen. Thomas Daschle last fall, they discovered that the highly refined spores floated in the air, making them much easier for potential victims to inhale. What made this anthrax so easily aerosolized?
There were a lot of misconceptions about anthrax at the time of the attacks, one of them being that natural, untreated spores could not easily aerosolize or reaerosolize. That's evidently the prime reason that Dr. Beecher wrote his report. That assumption was FALSE.
And it's clear that USAMRIID and AFIP didn't realize it was a misconception when they examined the attack anthrax. It wasn't really fully realized until other scientists noticed how easily the attack spores could reaerosolize in the Senate offices where the letters had been opened.
Dr. Beecher points out that it is misleading and dangerous to promote beliefs that natural spores cannot easily aerosolize. It is simply WRONG to believe that.

He has pretty good credentials for saying that.
