"Brokaw’s aide tests positive" with subtitle :
"Suspicious letters to NBC, N.Y. Times sent from St. Petersburg, authorities say."
Note the reference in the letter sent to the reporter at the St. Petersburg Times to the OKC Bombing- "Oklahoma-Ryder Truck!".
I used []s to add comments in the text where appropriate to emphasize important points for the reader.
The article was also excerpted to highlight important points and to reduce its length. The full article is still posted on the St. Petersburg Times web site.
It is not known yet whether or not the reference to the OKC bombing was just a terror style statement that is not true or if it is true and was made by a real terrorist who could have known about or have been involved in the OKC bombing.
Evidence has been posted for several years suggesting that supporters of Bin Laden and Sadam Hussein helped McVeigh do the OKC bombing.
The other possibility is that the letters are being mailed by domestic terrorists, but that is not as likely as the letters coming from ME terrorists who may have access to Anthrax produced by Iraq or other ME terror governments.
But since all three letters came from St. Petersburg, they may have come from the same source. Even though the letters tested negative for Anthrax, the tests may have not detected the Anthrax due to small sample sizes since it is known that at least one person (Brokaw aide) got Anthrax from the letter she received from St. Petersburg. Therefore, the two other letters may have at one time contained anthrax. Even if not, this still would be a terroristic hoax, a terrorist act in itself.
Presumably our police are observing the bridge.

The terrorists of all creeds and colors will rot in hell for the thoughts and actions each and every one of them incur upon our nation. They will not win.
[However, the test for the letter sent from St. Petersburg to the Brokaw aide must have been unsuccessful (too small a sample size?) because the aide in fact did contract Anthrax. This point was made by Ted Kopel on ABC Nightline last night. This calls into question the negative test results for the other two letters since they were also sent from St. Petersburg and may not have had inadequate sample size].
Be careful of your assumptions... The article says that the St. Petersburg "white powder" letter tested negative for Anthrax.
Just because the aide contracted Anthrax several days after reading a weird letter with white powder, that doesn't mean that that letter was what infected the aide.
A weird letter may have been the first to be suspected, because it was strange, but if it tested negative, then the infection could have been delivered to NBC by some other means and the weird letter had just gotten the blame because it was creepy.
I doubt if "sample size" was a problem, since modern techniques can analyze microscopic quantities of material, especially for biological agents which can be multiplied by PCR or simple growth on a suitable medium.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Flagless One was targeted from internal terrorist groups but I don't understand why Anthrax would be used except to make it look like a ME attack. White supremacists might want to force us into a conflict and attacking a media organization might fit teir view of the world.
