AMI Employee Speaks Out About Anthrax Case The editorial director of American Media says his company knows how the man killed by anthrax was exposed to the disease. He is also making scathing comments about the Palm Beach County Health department.
Steve Coz, Editorial Director at American Media in Boca Raton, says that the company knows how the anthrax bacterium got into their building, and he says there is a connection to the terrorists.
Coz says that Bob Stevens, the employee who died of anthrax, was infected after exposure anthrax spores delivered to AMI in a letter. He said the letter came into the mailroom, and was opened by someone else who handed it to Stevens.
Because of vision problems, Stevens (pictured, left) then held the letter close to his face to look at it, according to Coz, giving the 63-year old a massive dose of anthrax spores.
The FBI (news - web sites) has asked American Media not to go into detail about the letter, and they currently deny any connection between the letter and the terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.
Coz says he believes there is a connection, particularly to Mohamed Atta, the hijacker believed to be the leader of the terrorists who resided in South Florida. "We know Mohamed Atta was within three miles of the [American Media] building, we know he was within a mile of Bob Stevens house. We know that the FBI is now going to local pharmacies to see if he did in fact get Cipro. We know that he showed up at a pharmacy with red hands. There are people in this area who have very direct recollection of seeing him. He worked out in a gym where some of our employees were." The FBI continues to say they have not made a direct connection between the terrorists and the anthrax cases.
A congressional source says that more anthrax spores have been found in the mailroom of American Media, but the FBI is not confirming that or any of the statements made by Steve Coz.
Steve Coz also blasted the Palm Beach County Health Department for not informing American Media about Bob Stevens illness earlier. He said, "We found out that Bob Stevens had anthrax on the Internet at 3:00 on Thursday -- we turned on the TV sets and it was all over television. We called the Palm Beach County Health Deparment from 3:00 to 7:30 leaving messages -- we must have left 20 messages. At 7:30 somebody finally picked up the phone."
Like your thinking R_S. How about the INS mailing expiration notices, to Arabs whose visas have expired, in pigskin envelopes?
Fits right in with what I've been saying, check out this article:
Suspected terrorist visited Maryland medical clinic
Associated Press
GREENBELT, September 22 - The hijacker suspected of piloting American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center was once treated at a Greenbelt medical center, according to the physician who saw him. The FBI has seized the medical records of Mohamed Atta from Greenbelt Family Practice, nurse practitioner Nancy English told The Prince George's Journal Friday. English would not say when Atta was treated or for what condition, but said his name appeared on medical records. He also gave a Laurel address, according to David Granite, a doctor at the practice. English said she recognized Atta's name from the list of 19 suspected hijackers. "These are people who hate us and want to wipe us off the face of the Earth and he came to us for help," she said.

Yes.
That would indeed be an awful thing.
The CDC is definitely the main information clearinghouse in this situation, but all of its info goes through the FBI, which then censors it, and releases disinformation in its stead.
Is American Media the tabloid publisher owned by klintoon's friend? Perhaps there is anger that the klintoons and their friends received so much money from terrorists and yet failed to keep Afghanistan from being bombed. Also, isn't NBC owned by GE who makes the engines in the planes?
The FBI is keeping the contents secret. And of course we know know they were both postmarked St. Petersburg, FL.
There are also 77 people in FL on the FBI watch list. I'm sure each of these 77 has associates that aren't even on the list.
