"Brokaws 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.
Remember the recent concern about Islamic fundamentalist activists working out of University of South Florida?
Here are some FR threads about it:
What is Going On at the University of South Florida? (9/26 O'Reilly Interview with Prof. Al-Arian)
Univ. of So Florida puts Arab Prof. on leave (with pay) after O'Reilly interview
Now wait a minute. The racists and the xenophobes on FR (almost all of them newbies) have been saying for weeks that since we all know just what the terrorists look like, all we have to do is round up and intern or deport anyone who looks or talks funny, and everything will be OK.
If McVeigh were an OBL surrogate, will these newbies offer to intern themselves, I wonder?
Most likely this letter was simply targeted for investigation because of it's postmark and date of arrival. Barring any forensics connection, this letter is nothing more than it appears...just another crack pot letter. Of course I'm sure it won't take the tin foil hat squad long to uncover yet another federal coverup linking this to whatever.
It's f.christian! I'd know those James Joycian ramblings anywhere!
