As long as we're all connecting the dots... Here's a dot:

PENTAGON REPORTERS ASSIGNED GAS MASKS TODAY

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Reporters who cover the Pentagon (news - web sites) were assigned gas masks as a security precaution in case the US military's main headquarters comes under chemical attack.

The Pentagon handed out 25,000 emergency gas masks to prepare Pentagon workers for possible chemical or biological terror attacks. That completes about one-third of the effort started in late February, when they began training an average of several hundred people a day in use of the emergency escape hoods.

You don't suppose there's any connection to this talk of Al Qaeda being willing to use chemical weapons on us, now do you? Naaaah... completely unrelated events. < /sarcasm>
