On the Leahy/Daschle/Brokaw connection - our best bet so far is that it is issue+authority related. Leahy and Daschle both are for the International Criminal Court and NBC has commentary to that leaning. An ICC would be unfavorable to international terrorism IMHO.
Alamo-Girl, I will sleep on it. I'm certain they monitor discussions on the internet but you know how things slip through their fingers, figuratively speaking :-). Especially emails.
I was kind of hoping you might submit your thread to someone in authority or call their attention to it. I can call our local office Monday if I still think it -could- be important.
But I have seen some extreme coincidences in the news business before. Like that airplane that crashed in the very neighborhood of some of the firemen who were victims of the WTC collapse, with two victims being on the airplane who had actually survived the WTC disaster. Strange coincidences do occur, and sometimes they occur in groups of several, as if someone is playing around with our fate. Some investigators call this synchronicity. We need to be careful to try to separate the coincidences from conspiracies, and sometimes there can be two or three similar conspiracies going on, involving different groups of people who dont even know each other. I just dont think the Arab terrorists would have been polite enough to warn the people those DC and NY letters were sent too. A few more letters with no warning inside could have killed many more people.
