If it is a terrorist action, nukes won't be unthinkable in the war.

Just to be clear, they are referring to the National Enquirer's business office building, correct?

This could certainly be a case of truth being stranger than fiction, if it turns out to be accurate and not just a mistaken rehash of the earlier rumors by the late crew at the TV station...

So does this mean that it was placed in the air conditioning or vent system somehow?

Whitley Strieber on "Dreamland" now just said that no "reputable" web site has this story. Talkin about the pot...

BUMP A special thank you for conscientious FReper work calling the news desk. Please keep us up to date if possible.

Also, the guy I spoke to confirmed that the CDC has found anthrax in the building, although they have not specified where.

Guess Stevens didn't contract anthrax from coon-hunting after all. Didn't think so.

Palm Beach Post article on the first case:

Sunday, October 7, 2001

WEST PALM BEACH -- The deadly germ that killed a 63-year-old Lantana man is found in nature and is not a genetically engineered hybrid resistant to penicillin, officials said Saturday.

Coupled with the lack of new anthrax cases, the finding further weakened the theory that Robert Stevens was the victim of terrorists who were intent on massive casualties, like those on Sept. 11. Stevens, who officials say died from inhaling anthrax spores, was cremated Saturday after an autopsy, during which more specimens were taken and shipped overnight to laboratories at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. . . http://www.gopbi.com/news/story1.html

Agree, XM. There's no doubt that this is confirmed and real. Would recommend not continuing to bombard this station.

"CDC has found anthrax in the building, although they have not specified where. "

Would terrorists spread anthrax this way?
