I know these stories have been well covered by some smaller midwestern newspapers but as far as I know this is the first coverage by a mainstream big city newspaper. Anyone know if this is true?

The WSJ picked up Crogan's story in LAWeekly a month or two ago, but handled it with kid gloves.

I guess this means that the Bush administration is somehow going to use this when he lays out his "reasoning" for an invasion of Iraq next week. Notice how no adminstration officials are quoted.Do we really believe nobody was questioned?

At any rate, kids, this is a major editorial in a major paper. I hope others follow suit.

"...as far as I know this is the first coverage by a mainstream big city newspaper."

The New York Post was one of the recipients of an anthrax letter. Due to their personal interest in the case, they re-printed David Tell's excellent piece from The American Spectator which a.) convincingly questioned the assumption that the anthrax was distributed by "a domestic terrorist" and b.) offered the theory that it might have an Iraqi origin.

But that's about it.

For all intents and purposes, the Wall Street Journal earns the award for:
