Last week, I heard on the news that Hastert's family had received a letter at their house, in his home state. That was why he was so anxious to close down business and get home. It was only mentioned the once, and I never heard it again. Does anyone know if this was rumor or fact?

I'm getting the anthrax cases, the lung ones, confused. If these two today who died worked in the sorting area or courrier area, were they swabbed? Weren't they aware they were at risk? Was a decision made not to swab and test them or was it just ignored. I gotta say the FBI, CDC and all of those guys are working way way over time and Tom Ridge has been in place like three weeks. All the carping seems unnecessary. Plus the paranoia. I think there is true confusion with breaking stuff so fast, so many people to test, so many leads that it is overwhelming. No way were we ready for this and to keep a force at the level it took to respond quickly would have cost alot and noone was willing to pay for it in the last ten years. And we had bill clinton in there undermining all of them.
