""Central Fla. Woman Pleads Guilty To Count Of Anthrax Hoax

A 46-year-old woman pleaded guilty Monday to charges of committing an anthrax hoax last year by mailing a letter containing her water bill and foot powder.
On May 30, 2002, police evacuated Cocoa employees and called the bomb squad after a clerk discovered powder in a letter reportedly mailed by Dian Hardison.

Hardison faces up to 15 years in prison is she is convicted on the count of threatening to use a hoax weapon of mass destruction.

She is scheduled for sentencing in January.

Hardison remains free on bail.

This is the third time that The Washington Post has mentioned the "grand jury" investigating the anthrax case.

No one else has written about this grand jury. No one.

I have no doubt that such a grand jury exists. But no one seems to have any information about what the grand jury is doing. The Washington Post's information seems to consist of just one item which they repeat over and over: Hatfill's friends and former employers have been asked to supply documents. Period.

But Hatfill's friends and former employers would only provide documents showing that Hatfill is INNOCENT. They would provide proof that he was at a wedding on Oct. 6, they would provide his time sheets proving that he was working long hours, etc.

What's most interesting to me about the reporting on this press conference with Michael Mason is that every reporter picks out only the facts that interest him.

The Washington Post reports on the fact that Mason regrets that Hatfill was called a "person of interest".

Reuters reports that Mason apparently thinks that the anthrax mailer didn't want to harm anyone.

USA Today reports that the FBI apparently hasn't been able to successfully reverse engineer the anthrax perfectly.

I wonder why the New York Times hasn't written anything and what they will emphasize.
