So much for pulling it from the Breaking News column eh?

[My Favorite Headache]

Read between the lines. They are already in damage control mode. Like again it is isolated...move along. 2 cases? Im not budging at all. This is serious.

O'Conner said he couldn't say that the second case was related to terrorism. "That would take a turn in the investigation," said O'Conner. "It's a different aspect, we were thinking more of environmental" sources.

That's wishful thinking. There's no way this was environmental.

Thanks for confirming this with AP News ....

[My Favorite Headache]

Agreed. I smell a cover-up . Big time.

"The second man was in stable condition at an unidentified hospital, according to a statement issued late Sunday night by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services."

And why is the North Carolina Dept. of Health & Human Services issuing this statement if the victim is in Florida???

Yes it was indeed environmental. The environment was contaminated with a couple of psychotic Muslims.

[Gelato]

Cover-up or denial.

About time AP!

You see? if AP says it - it must be true, I guess huh? I guess the news desk in Palm Beach wasn't good enough...

Well I'm glad its "officially" out now. People really need to know that these terrorists are serious and the peaceniks need to go home.

Well .... my post in breaking news using the Channel 12 source in PBC was yanked fast off Breaking News, so yes maybe I am glad that AP picked this up. This news needs to go FAR AND WIDE.

Its not a coverup just because they are not speculating in public. Until they can confirm and get conclusive proof, why scare with speculation. What do you want, the CDC to rush a press release on every lab test? When there was confirmation on the 2nd case, and the bldg was quarantined, the word got out. Anyone with a brain can put these facts together and surmise a likelihood.

No coverup, just caution and professionalism. Use your brain and act in a prudent manner.

The article makes it out that he was "recently visited" NC. So maybe he's there right now. Unclear from the article. I smell damage control.

CNN is reporting the story here 2nd Anthrax Case.

COURAGE, people. We're going to have to make sure that courage is as contagious as anything the terrorists can throw at us. This could be a rough ride... chin up, it's life at it's most extreme but it's our story. We'd better make the most of it.

I'll be damned if these terrorists will stop me from living my life to the fullest. We're going to survive our fears and in the end, America will still be here - the terrorists will be the ones who are but a memory. oh, but what an awful memory they will be...
