Thread I.

Also of interest: Newsweek: Tabloid intern sought in anthrax cases...

[newzjunkey]

Here's a fresh thread for the ET morning freeper visitors with the AP story at the top rather than mid-thread.

[newzjunkey]

Hope you don't mind I started a 2nd thread.

Sounds like condidit was pissed with the tabloids

He sure knows how to do a "Wag The Dog!"

I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet, but how many suspicious looking envelopes do you open at work? I don't know if they still have the envelope ( they could have filed it ) but no return address is one possible red flag. I never open any mail that looks odd. Of course, I'm sure "The National Enquirer" doesn't have this luxury being that plenty of their incoming correspondence probably shows up in odd envelopes. Just be careful.

LOL!!! The "A" teem!

As far as I am concerned you should be banned for the way you acted tonight. Your hysterical response was uncalled for. We welcome new comers to FR. When you calm down from your personal experience then maybe someone will be able to talk to you. Until then I don't care to respond to your little temper tantrum. You are not doing anyone any good in your present state.

[HennepinPrisoner]

Why is the Associated Press too scared to say that the intern was of Middle Eastern descent? Newsweek said it.

[The Raven]

God help them if they sprinkled this stuff around the US. We'd nuke Iraq for sure.

Dr Thomas Ryan is answering question live on Cannel 9 here in No Va. He said all preliminary testing at Prince William Hospital has resulted in negative results for anthrax. It sounds as if they were being cautious. The patient presented himself as suffering from confusion. Gram staining and flourescent examination showed negative for anthrax. Cat Scan normal. Lumbar puncrure normal, Slightly elevated white cell count which might indicate a slight viral infection. He works for AMI, a company associated with the Sun operation in Boca Raton. Man did not travel to Florida. Lives locally and works in Fairfax.

[Movemout]

Samples sent to Richmond for more comprehensive testing. All statements above are preliminary. I misspelled puncture above, as in lumbar puncture. Still, the doctor was quite certain that there are no symptoms that fit a diagnosis of anthrax.

"We welcome new comers to FR."

So if OBL showed up and said "don't worry, be happy," you'd roll out the red carpet, because he was a "new comer"?

Or perhaps your "rule" is not absolute? Perhaps we don't hold our tongues as a stranger tells our friends how to get themselves killed?

Look, pal, the guy was giving people advice that can get them dead. That may warm the cockles of your heart, but when my country is at war, and some guy comes flying in from nowhere, giving out deadly advice, I'm not gonna sit on my hands just because "we're nice to newbies".

God, I'm glad the "Let's Roll!" flight wasn't full of "nice" people like you, or we'd have lost the Capitol building on 9/11.

a doctor on the radio said - if you even think you were exposed to anthrax - get on antibiotics immediately - because if you wait for the symptoms to show - it is already to late - and there is getting to be a shortage of antibiotics in the country - so what else is new.

That doctor was absolutely right -- I heard another doctor on one of the cable news channels say pretty much the same thing yesterday.

Golly, imagine that. The "Doctor" was pumping sunshine up our clymers. Go figure.

[Lazamataz]

Three cases. Looks like Osama needed to refine his delivery system.

[Ligeia]

WMAL AM 630 in DC just listened in on what sounded like a press conference and reported that this is NOT an anthrax case.
