Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. That goes double when the FBI is involved.
If this candy incident were in a place we have not heard of regarding the terrorist threat, I would accept that it is unrelated. But a guy with an expired visa (same MO as many of the 9/11 terrorists) in Wayne NJ -- where Atta rented cars, near where the anthrax mailings went out -- I am not ready to accept that the incident, and/or similar ones, are benign.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. That goes double when the FBI is involved.Ya - <sarcasm>with 20-20 hindsight we find out that it was REALLY BAD CANDY after all and the FBI once again was pulling the wool over the public's collective eyes </sarcasm> -
- or perhaps you'd like to point out just *who* it was that received, ate, then became SICK with this so-called 'tainted Costco candy' ...
Note: This kind of vigilance and awareness on the part of the public of noting and reporting this purchase - and others like it - IS A GOOD THING!
