Terrorists wanting to send anthrax to some important US politicians bought a copy of the New York Times, noted the stories on the front page that day, made a list of the Senators and Congressmen mentioned, and sent off letters to them. Their goal is to sow terror. So, they send anthrax letters to a.) the media and b.) a couple of Democrat politicians. Interesting. It it likely a domestic terrorist wouldn't have to look thru the papers to know who people in Congress were, as they would already know who was who in our govt. In otherwards they were picked at random. Here's the rub though: because the media tends to focus on Democrats and ignore Republicans, that policy might be the very thing that resulted in the anthrax being sent mostly to Democrats.
Hmmm... a very interesting observation!!! Thanks for your input!
