WASHINGTON -- CNN has just reported that a suspicious letter sent to Carson City, Nevada has tested positive in preliminary tests for anthrax.
The FBI is already involved in the case. More tests are required to confirm that the envelope contained anthrax.
The letter was sent to an unidentified company, reported CNN, and "just didn't look right," according to one employee.
Brokaw Assistant Infected With Anthrax The suspicious letter that authorities think may have infected an NBC News employee with anthrax was apparently meant for Tom Brokaw.
A network source said the letter was addressed to Brokaw himself, and the anchorman was tested for the bacteria and cleared.
The network confirmed a 38-year-old employee with Brokaw's "Nightly News" program was infected with the skin form of the disease after receiving mail containing a suspicious powder.
The envelope was sent to her boss two weeks after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Anyone exposed to a suspicious powder deserves the same prompt treatment. Remember that the envelope contents tested negative but she/he had been exposed.
I mean Hell... Brokaw and Company sat on this for 11 days... Now we find out - but only that she is fine... Who else was tested, treated or perhaps is currently sick?
And if i hear ONE MORE BOZO say "isolated incident" - I think I will scream.
I wish I could trust the US Government to tell the truth - but after 8 years with the Lyin'B****rd in the Oval Office, and watching the Cover-Up Kids in action, I can't. Its pretty sad when you believe the National Enquirer more than you do the Highest elected officials in the land.. And that goes for Canada too - although I've been tracking this up here and not even got so much as a whiff of an Anthrax infection scenario
If people KNOW whats happening - they can adjust themselves to it.. All the secrecy and the half-truths are stirring up MORE panic and hysteria - imho.
MWW
Yes, while zealously reporting about Florida case. . .and literally hunting down Ms Dailey who did not want to speak publicly about it. They camped in her front yeard, refusing to leave until she came forward.
Acutually thoughtit was a good idea, to see her healthy was a good thing; does not excuse the MO here of the Press et al.
In the meantime, we still only here about the 'female employee'. . .and 'assistant at NBC'. . .apparently she wants her privacy and her identity to remain 'undisclosed', just like Ms Dailey did in Florida.
Am beginning to think, that maybe this is just becomming a little too popular; like maybe some of this might be a 'home-grown' terror that some of our local sicko's may be entertaining themseves with.
Which might be the only good thing about keeping it quiet; not entirely, but not 'spore by spore' analysis of the news; until they figure out what is going on and who may be responsible.
Just in case, it is time to say 'no' to 'copycats'. . .and 'yes' to maybe 'life in prison' for same. . .
While six thousand lay dead in the rubble, Tom Brokaw refused to wear the American flag on TV for fear of compromising his objectivity.
I notice his objectivity has goneclean out the window now....
The Muslims are pretty bizarre that way, when you ask them what makes them hate the US, they will start going on and on about Zionism, when you ask what that is, they will start going on and on about our banks and economic domination and that's because of Jews, they will talk about the American media being run by Jews, and they will talk about Hollywood and it's controlled by Jews. I guess it's not surprising they chose the WTC and now the media, and it wouldn't surprise me if they don't have something up their sleeves for Hollywood next.
