That's what the FBI meant when they said there was a 100% of another terror attack, they knew people had already been infected with Anthrax, and that is was only a matter of time before they started showing symptoms! (That's my paranoid conspiracy theory, do you like it? I don't really believe it, but it's a good theory!)

No, I think you are right. Looking at it from their point of view, they wanted to break it gently. The "100% chance of attack" warning (completely non-specific), combined with whispers in the ears of the major media (and Matt Druge, I suspect) to downplay the anthrax story (esp. the obvious, phenomenally-coincidental proximity to the terrorists' nest) was probably a conscious strategy to soften the blow.

Now can we see a picture of the Middle Eastern intern who launched this attack, please?

They must have found traces of anthrax or other details/plans about how to spread anthrax. Look, no one is going to inquire about a cropduster, without first having something they can dust with.

You're probably right.

regarding the theory that FBI knew of diagnosis... I say no way. FBI will be taking cues from local health authorities and doctors in the field. Tom Ridge needs to bring some discipline to this process. I think the local doctors need to take charge of the home care. Local law enforcement needs to take charge of the crime scene if multiple cases are identified by local health department (who is called when the local doctor suspects the diagnosis). Anyways, take Ashcroft on his word. The guy ain't lying when he says that he doesn't have enough info to make a conclusion. But, in my professional judgement, he'll have that data in 72 hours (how long it will take for these other tests to pan-out). By weeks end, the Bush Administration will have a good estimate on the exposures involved. Wish I could buy Bayer stock. They make the Cipro antibiotics.
