I see in this forum tonight four different threads,
relating the terrorists to anthrax.

Are we being prepared for some new revelation??

(Removing my tin-foil hat).

If the FBI spoon-fed this story to Broad at the NYT, that may be a sign that the "domestic focus" stall is "no longer operative," or at least due for a slow fade. OTOH, while most of Broad's stories recently have been just recycled spin, the NYT did do some good, independent reporting on the anthrax situation early on. To my knowledge, the NYT was the first paper to suggest that "we may be at war with Iraq without knowing it," and they were also the first to debunk the spin that the Daschle anthrax wasn't truly weaponized. So it may be that this story represents genuine legwork on Broad's part. I actually hope it's regurgitated spin: that would imply that the administration is getting close to naming the real culprit (Saddam), which would in turn suggest they have evaluated the threat as manageable and we are ready to go to war. Complicated, isn't it?

Probably not, unless they were all new... I just bumped a lot of old anthrax threads up to the top tonight while trying to dig through my favorites list. I was looking for the thread about animal carcasses in Afghanistan showing up on recon photos.

Did you notice that the John Doe #2 story from Oklahoma City is suddenly back? And it looks like it's suddenly considered credible in the mainstream media.

Removing it is probably a mistake :-).
