If the letters from NJ were postmarked September 18th, why are we just now hearing about them? It's almost a month later and NBC News and Senator Daschle's office are just *now* getting around to opening them? Or have they been open and sitting around for weeks? Or is the post office lying about how early these were sent?

And that's not ALL the questions I have. Why Sen. Daschle but not the White House? Why Not Sec. Powell or Sec. Rumsfeld? Why Gov. Pataki but not Mayor Giuliani? Why Gov. Pataki but not Sen. Clinton?

And how can a 7-month old crumb cruncher get Anthrax on a visit (allegedly) to ABC but nobody else was exposed? Not even the letter openers and office assistants?

Finally, how could someone pour lethal toxic amounts of Anthrax into ordinary envelopes and send them off through the mail without exposing himself to the bacteria? If breathing the stuff is dangerous, how did he get them in the envelopes, seal them, possibly address them and then carry them out without infecting himself? Should we not be checking hospitals in New Jersey to see if there are any "swarthy-looking males" with flu-like symptoms?

Some things here aren't adding up and I'd like some answers.

Hijacker Spotted With Possible Chemical Burns Before Attack

Mohamed Atta was spotted in a Florida pharmacy suffering from what appeared to be chemical burns just days before he hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 and slammed it into the World Trade Center.

"A pharmacist in Florida says Atta and another one of the hijackers visited his store in August and Atta had red burning hands," reported Fox News Channel's Rita Cosby late Monday.

"The pharmacist says he believes [the redness] was due to chemical burns. He said when he asked Atta what caused his hands to become red, he would not say."

Cosby said the pharmacist did not believe Atta was handling anything like anthrax at the time since his hands did not have any blisters.

Last week National Enquirer editor Steve Coz told ABC News the FBI was investigating a report that Atta's hand condition could be linked to anthrax infection.

Atta lived near The National Enquirer's offices at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton, Fla., where five employees have tested positive for anthrax exposure and one has died from the infection.

Simple, use a glove box. That is a sealed container with windows and glove openings. They can be bought cheap from used scientific equipment dealers or even ebay.

The sh-t may be injected by syringe through the edge of an envelope!

Don't try to over-think this. Terrorists and terrorism aren't logical.
