Nah, wouldn't surprise me..all the business about it being super-pure, weapons grade, etc. seems to have come from assorted Senators relaying what they heard in a briefing. In times of crisis people who have been directly under threat are given to dramatization...just as people in a destroyed trailer park will insist they were hit by a tornado when they weren't, no one wants to believe they were attacked by anything other than the highest grade of anthrax, oddly. I'm sure it will get sorted out eventually. Correctly analyzing something like this takes a long time and I'd consider anything other than a CDC press conference pretty suspect.

In Florida and NY they didn't know they got anthrax, they passed the letters around casually, yet still there was minimal exposure.

In Daschle's office, the woman spotted the brown powder as soon as she opened the envelope that it occurred. She did not remove the letter, she placed it down, called security right away. 29 people were exposed. Notice the difference? Those were busy offices too. The stuff Daschle got was ground extremely fine professionally no matter what the spin masters are trying to tell us.

After hearing their prior press conferences, I consider the CDC very suspect. There's something scary about those people. Maybe they just need better spokesmen, but the impression I get is that they're hiding info not to protect us but because they think we're stupid. JMO.
