The postal workers who came down with the forms of anthrax are now suffering long-term symptoms of various but consistent form.

The symptoms that the survivors are experiencing are very much like the symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome. See this FR post. I wonder if the anthrax powder has been tested for chemical weapons in addition to anthrax, perhaps the cholinesterase inhibitors that are suspected of causing Gulf War Syndrome.

So, the anthrax question is going mainstream. If the NYPost is asking these questions, can Fox News Channel be far behind? From there, the lag time to the major networks is, what, three months?

Leaving us to ask another question. Is the genie getting out of the bottle all by itself, if prematurely? Or is this merely Phase II of a "timed release" program, designed to reach a climax...when?
