Hmmm, letters delivered to Nguyen on or just before Sept. 8th. Wasn't that also the date that the letter was sent to the doctor in Nairobi from Atlanta?

Which had no anthrax, therby making it irrelevant.

Hate to break up the joy-fest, but one big problem is incubation time. If Nguyen was being used as some sort of paid mule to go to Trenton to mail the letters, that is an VERY long inhalation anthrax incubation time. A not IMPOSSIBLE incubation time (one of the cases in Russia from the Sverdlovsk release didn't occur for 46 days) but considering that:

1) Nguyen is an old woman

2)I can't conceive that she was told what was in them or had taken any biohazard precautions, and presumably physically handled them

3) Probably had 1,000 times the exposure of the DC postal workers who died, if she did handle them

There's a very high likelyhood none of this checks out, and Nguyen was exposed from a cross-contamination at a much later date. So don't count your chickens before they hatch. The extremely low bail is one warning sign, as noted. And there's probably a good reason no national media outlet has mentioned it.

Which it was claimed had no anthrax, and which Kenyan government agencies nevertheless insisted did have anthrax. Maybe the letter really had no anthrax, and maybe this is more of how our government has been lying to us, so as to divert suspicion from Iraq.

Not necessarily. She likely didn't fold, spindle or mutilate them the way a postal sorting machine does. Now I know they don't really fold, spindle and mutilate (well sometimes they do) the mail they sort, but they do handle it pretty roughly, squeezing it between other mail, forcing the small particles out and into the air and onto other letters, the machine, etc. I doubt whoever mailed them, whether they knew what was in them or not, handled them anywhere near that roughly. If they were several they might even have been in a sack or bag until that person put them into a mail box somewhere, or into a tray of corporate mail.

I don't remember how old Ms. Nguyen was, but I thougt not all that old, 50's maybe? I remember thinking she looked younger than whatever age she was.

Now you are probably correct, but it's still possible that these are the guys. In any event a few more days should tell the story.
