PHOTOS OF THE ANTHRAX LETTERS

The FBI released this photo on October 16, 2001 showing the letters that were sent to NBC in New York and to Sen. Tom Daschle's office on Capitol Hill and were found to contain the anthrax bacteria. Anthrax was confirmed in the letter opened on October 15 in Daschle's office, but so far none of the staff in that office has tested positive for exposure to the potentially deadly bacteria, Capitol police said.

I noticed Tom Daschle had his head cocked to the right on a news conference this morning.

A linger effect from getting slapped around by Clinton's bag man and party figurehead, Terry McAuliffe.

Signs of a suspicious package:

No return address

Too much tape or postage

Addressee not given by name, merely described as "Infidel Pig" :-)

Most likely a foreigner, (learned writing outside of the USA) makes European ONES, with the little flag at the top and a base at the bottom....make a bet this person makes European SEVENS with a slash through them. The give away to me are the ZEROS. The writer when he/she gets to the southeast quadrant of each zero sort of flattens it into the center. The number TWO is also interestingly alike...all of the hand writing has been very angled, stick like and when he/she gets to the number TWO is becomes soft and loopy.

Same person NO DOUBT. Both mailed from Trenton NJ...armpit of NYC.

Notice the style of printing and how it slopes. Sure looks like the same person.

Also note carefully that all the letters are in upper case although where lower case would be normally used they are smaller.

Often when I print like that I do the same thing but put lines on my i's. Often when people print, they tend to mix and match caps and lower case. These samples show none of that. Things to think about here.

Look at the 2's on the zip codes. A couple of them look identical.

Handwriting that goes downhill displays pessimism, like saying half empty.

[riri]

Just curious..is there a sample of Atta´s handwriting anywhere?

Not that this necessarily has any relevance, but these eagles are facing the same way as the symbols of the Third Reich. Also, a similar design used on the pins worn by Hillary, Albright, et al. If someone has a copy, they could post.

I'd go ahead and investigate what kind of science classes are being taught there!

Or give them an award for penmenship.

The school doesn't exist, they said it on MSNBC and CNN.

[WIMom]

I don't have a problem with real news, it's all the rumors that are deluting the issue.

I'm not a handwriting expert, but it sure looks similar. Also, the envelops are pre-stamped. I would think those could be traced. I'm sure the FBI, et al know that as well though.

"Also, it couldn't have been from FR because Brokaw and Daschle are spelled wrong."

Yes. I believe "Dashole" is the correct spelling.

[Jefferson Adams]

Death will be too forgiving for the murderers who perpetrated this crime.

Yeah, but what comes later won't be.

[js1138]

...because Brokaw and Daschle are spelled wrong.

LOL, but completely wrong, I'm afraid.

[CheneyChick]

Uh oh. I think that looking at that picture made my eyes itchy.

[classygreeneyedblonde]

And all the letters are capital ones....

[Cachelot]

It was the "2"s that did it for me.

You're right. Them 2.

[WIMom]

This is an interesting post.

[riri]

This is a long shot here, but in some foreign countries they print the number one as we do except minus the horizontal line at the bottom. These "ones" almost look as though those bottom lines were drawn in after, they appear more heavily printed...maybe

[classygreeneyedblonde]

The same person sent it
