"FBI officials said testing isn't a priority, because they assume that by now, the hijackers' cars and apartments would have been cleaned, removing any trace of anthrax."

Let's see . . . they assume the apartments are clean and they assume some right wing hate group is spreading Anthrax. Isn't there something wrong with this picture?

You may call me the "cock-eyed optimist" (in the words of some old musical) but I think the "assumption" that the apartments/cars have been cleaned is valid (yes, check out the cleaners) while I don't think your second assumption necessarily is (re: the FBI assuming a right-wing local is responsible). The optimism comes in in that I'm pretty sure (or at least hopefull) that the FBI's getting a real close look from this administration...(with so much on their plate, don't expect really fast results, but I do think they'll get done what needs to get done, and expect a return to integrity...!)
