Flamesuit ON!

[Dog]

Dont anyone Flame Francis.....

Buddy you nailed it this time!

[SpottedBeaver]

I saw you post this before. Perhaps it was good that you started it's own thread. If what you are speculating is true, it could be very scary. But then, maybe that is what they are counting on.

[aomagrat]

I would like to know if there are any return addresses on these envelopes, and where they are postmarked from.

[browardchad]

Very logical -- interesting how they have exploited our culture and weaknesses so accurately.

[TheOtherOne]

Interesting....

It seems self-protection to the extent possible is the only way to go.

Site selling masks

[Talkwire]

AND, sending out inert white powder is something anyone can easily do and copycat. So Jihad sympathizers in the US can join in the terror from home. Now every armchair Mujehed in America can do his part to back up the murderous terrorists with decoy letters. It's like Terrorism, the Home game.

[Bommer]

The media is a target for a very specific reason. This prevents the government from covering up the details.

Wrong Francis! This worker was exposed 2 weeks ago. Tom Brokaw didn't seem to be saying much!

[TheOtherOne]

It makes perfect sense to do a small-scale attack, see how the CDC and the US Gov respond. Then plan the real attack with that knowledge.

[PaulJ]

You know what though? I keep thinking back to the Tylenol scare a number of years ago. Didn't it turn out it was some guy who knocked off his wife and was covering his tracks by tainting loads of bottles of Tylenol? Why couldn't this be something similar?

[willyb_jr]

A very plausible theory.

[callisto]

I posted a thread that seems to be being overlooked, but is highly relevant to your topic:

Sources:Boca hospital over-prescribing Cipro

It details all of the side-effects people can suffer from this drug when self-medicating or over-prescribing.

[callisto]

oops...I forgot to add that the article says they are running out of Cipro, etc. at the local pharmacies

[Vicki]

Makes sense to me. That is why they are called terrorists.

[nepdap]

I think in order for US mail to be significantly disrupted, "they" will have to begin targeting residential mail. Until then, all of us non-media-business types feel pretty secure. So, is that next?

[Lucky2]

As scary as this is, I think you're on to something. We can't put anything past these bastards. They are out to destroy us and will do anything to achieve their goal. I'm glad I've made my peace!

[Trident/Delta]

Right on target. Couple the white powder to guys being caught in the water treatment plant in NYC and in Sacramento sans any kind of threatening device or material and soon you have cops jumping at shadows... Great demonstration of critical think ability Francis(hold the beans)

Semper Flatulance

[Centurion2000]

No flame here, I think you just nailed down their tactics and strategy for this.

Of course, what happens when the mosques start getting a few letters with white powder ?? That would be an indicator of copycat crimes.

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

This is as good a theory as any I have seen. Not necessarily correct, but worth considering.

[citizenK]

The first thing I thought of when I heard about the anthrax contamination of the building in FL was that the enemy is testing our response in preparation of a larger, more organized attack. The attack on the media outlets may not be to prevent cover-up but may have been done so that the story will have maximum coverage, with the hopes of the terrorists that panic in the press will lead to general public hysteria.

[scottiewottie]

I agree in part. The media outlets are the target because they will protect their own. Meaning even if they are asked to kill a story, many will not if it pertains directly to harm or destruction of themselves. Basically two birds with one stone, (a)media whores this is real and your bosses can't help you and (b)incite mass hysteria.

...Or simply Texas Aggie backlash for federal cuts in Afghan research. (smile)
