But the letters were sent on 10/9.
I thought for sure I'd heard that the letter(s) sent to American Media in Florida were mailed before 9-11. I, also, heard somewhere that before Stevens was properly diagnosed with anthrax, someone else in another state had tested positive and was treated with Cipro, and that Stevens died unneccesarily because the prior incident was kept hush hush to avoid public panic.
I am not certain, though. I could be wrong and don't remember my sources.
