Gee, what do we have, maybe two terrorists with anthrax and dozens of copycats with talcum powder?!? Why doesn't Bush get on TV and warn that any prankster caught doing this will not see daylight again until they are good and old, if ever.

It's amazing how many nuts are doing this now. Need to make this a serious crime and put a stop to it.

If the recipient "took an object out", it sounds similar to the proven cases in Florida, where supposedly a Star of David was inside the suspected envelope.

I still think starting a rumor that all the US cocaine supply has been 'tainted' would cause mass hysteria in the HollyWIERD and lawyer crowd.
Just sit back and watch them all stream into the nearest Robert Downey Jr. style clinic... one after another

I don't know whether these are all from terrorists or whether some are from pranksters; but I agree with you. Anyone caught pulling a "prank" like this should be facing arrest plus the cost incurred by the government to determine that it's a prank. Taking investigative and medical resources at a time like this could end up costing somebody's life.

The Star of David incident was not exactly a secret, it was on the news. I wouldn't be surprised to see that copycatted (even if this is a real anthraxing)

Let see what we have here.

A "WHITE POWDER" was examined at a Hollywood movie studio,... and an employee ended up in the hospital.

Hmmm, is this really that out of the ordinary?

Rush pointed out the other day that the anxiety level among cokeheads must be up! After all they regularly receive envelopes with white powder!

Wasn't Sony Electronics the target of a car bomb in Saudia Arabia where two Americans were killed last week?

Asking for some assistance here....I have to get off to work, but I think it would be of interest if someone with "posting experience" were to look into who is reaping huge benifits as a result of this anthrax thing. Check into the BAYER CORP. They have an interesting history. Especially back around the time of W.W.II Thanks..

Could that be why Clinton bombed an aspirin factory? (OK so I'm getting punchy)

The New York Times - in today's editorial - said "it smelled like talcum powder".

The doctors on the talking heads shows are saying - whatever you do - don't smell it.
