The body of someone whose wife was a rental agent was contaminated? Where's your source on that? Who was this person? Or are you just confused and think Bob Stevens' wife was a rental agent? A LOT of people on this forum seem to believe that. It's untrue. The woman who rented to the terrorists was NOT Mrs. Stevens. Yes, the woman's husband worked at AMI, but what does that prove -- other than that "six degrees of separation" works everywhere?
Your second point is dead wrong. Anthrax was found where they had gone ~ Boca Raton, Florida!
Yes, and we know it got there from a letter mailed from Central New Jersey. Why don't you just say "Anthrax was found where they had gone ~ The East Coast"?
The only contact that area has with mail is when it is deposited ~ or delivered through a post office box, or (in large sacks) caller service.
The Boca Raton carrier area was not contaminated. West Palm Beach and a subordinate facility were also contamined since mail entered at Boca Raton is, of course, processed at West Palm Beach.
The trail of contamination indicated clearly that the piece was mailed at Boca Raton, routed through the Main Facility, and then through the subordinate facility where it was "forwarded" back through the Main facility to the AMI building.
Excuse me on the bodies ~ what we have is a case of cross contamination where the anthrax letter mailed to AMI seems to have NOT resulted in illness on the part of the recipient, but did result in illness in someone else who had contact with it, or with a piece that touched it. Wrong guy hit.
Doubt the terrorists cared ~ message delivered.
Alternatively, the anthrax letter was mis-delivered to AMI rather than to the university nearby which has a predominantly Jewish student body.
USPS does do misdeliveries.
Another possibility is it was misrouted to AMI instead of to AIM, known as American Institute of Massage Therapy, 416 East Atlantic Blvd. Pompano Beach, Florida 33060 ~ a "broken heart" perhaps? Maybe one of our terrorists had a spat with his American girlfriend at the massage school.
My choice, though, for an original target is Florida Atlantic University, at their Boca Raton campus.
The folks at AMI could very well have tossed the letter they received back into the outgoing and it could still be lurking hidden in an as yet unopened sack in a dead letter center.
