Angelique, I think the original to the tabloid was a test of the stuff. I don't believe anyone HAS the original letter to the SUN, as I have heard it, spores were on the keyboard, etc in the office.

The Enquirer and Sun, etc. have had a pretty good track record in publishing stuff that seems stupid on the surface, but is actually important (I believe they broke X42/Monica first, and the propensity for Hitlery to throw glassware).

What is bothering me, is the question: what else is out there? We have had the 2 dead in DC postal facilities who handled (per the eerie 911 call) of a person who had handled mutilated mail. None of the letters shown appear mutilated. Where, if anywhere did that mutilated letter go?

The problem with this whole thing is, of course, that we, as the public are being IMHO, sold wolf tickets wholesale by the spokespersons for the govt. Didn't we hear last week that the contamination was found in one North Jersey area? We have heard all kinds of "information" concerning the coating of the spores, and that only one country, Iraq, used this coating. Now, however, its back to the "nothing to see here, domestic whackjob, move along." Someone is getting pretty desperate at this point in the Feebs, as they issue this "You, the public, can help us, give us information, etc etc., then this rather nonspecific profile. I realize that I am talking tinfoilhat mode here, but something is wrong with this whole thing.

I worry that we (the USA), or at least the policy making bunch is deliberately trying to avoid what we at FR have been calling for since 9/11. Detention and deportation, along with a major move against the maker of this ChemBio Material. Since this (anthrax) is considered a WMD, the only logical response is anathema to those in charge. We have had this "no first strike nukes" mentality since the collective guilt bunch started up after WWII. If we admit terrorist activity from a Jihadist group, involving the use of WMD (admittedly not too successful, but a WMD none the less) we are rather committed to using a WMD in return. While the people are ready, the gov't isn't, and is stuck in the quagmire of left over liberal thought, backed up by the press. We won't declare war, we won't do this one right, and we, if we are not careful are going to wind up in Vietnam II, with the same WashDC micromanagement, and the same inconclusive result. Been there, done that, don't want it to happen again.

Any comments cheerfully accepted.

Keep the Faith for Freedom

MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT THIS HONORABLE REPUBLIC

Excellent analysis...

I have read a lot about how we should not have been in the Gulf War or that we didn't finish the job. Subsequently, we knew how Clinton did nothing about the WTC bombing in '93, and other terrorist attacks. He pulled out of the Iraq inspections. Hearing about how entrenched the jihad had become here, sufficiently enough to know how easy the attack would be on us, I agree that we cannot overlook that the anthrax poisonings come from this source. Is the government being forthright? I do not think so.

At this point, I do not belive this is Vietnam II. In my studies, I do understand how our men were left high and dry by the government. Most of the military personnel are saying that we will not commit ground troops to the extent we did in Vietnam. In this 9-11 attack, I thought we could not declare war since the insurance companies would then not have to pay.

President Bush's administration has an undaunting job, and at least the American people are behind him, despite the mainstream media's attempt to undermine him every step of the way. I pray you are wrong.
