Bob Arnot is much more then just a reporter. He is also a Medical Doctor. He went from Physician to part time Health Reporter, to full time network Medical Reporter to General Assignment Reporter. He is certainly qualified to speak on this issue. In fact, he is a big help in general. When the USMC CH-46 went down with 4 Marines and 8 Brits, the Navy Corpsmen yelled for "Doctor Bob" to come help right away until they knew it was helpless.

If Bob Arnot is reporting on Anthrax, trust it!

Dyson, you are now the one who's lost credibility. My advice - keep quiet.

If your goal is to see FR degraded from a voice of reason into a din of hysteria, just keep on doing what you're doing, sport.

Ewing, in case you don't get it, I believe that it may have been stated on TV that this is so. However , it was your post (WHICH LINKED TO THE MSNBC WEBSITE) , which threw me for a loop (BECAUSE YOU SIMPLY MADE IT UP).

Why did you provide a link when none existed. It was your posting of this info that has made this suspect to me.

Maybe you should just cease.

I was just pointing out that even if we find WMD, it won't change a thing in our world. It won't stop the anitAmerican Protestors, it won't stop the sinkmaster from trying to weasel into the UN, it won't stop the Hildebeast from trying to take the White House in '08, it won't change a single thing.

Contents were cocaine. Instructions read: "Give this powder to the infidel and he will overdose on it".

Look, Dyson, whether or not it pans out, your demanded link has nothing to do with it.

It was reported on a major network.

You already owe others an apology and I expect you will be forthcoming.

I suspect one of the reasons to deliver the anthrax in this way, through an envelope, is not only to threaten to attack our soldiers with it, but also to threaten to reveal the truth behind the 9/11 anthrax. If our government continues to want to conceal that truth, Bob Arnot's story may not make it to print.

Until I see this myself I'm gong to put as much credence in this as the WorldLink TV jagoffs claiming we're using napalm...

ewing is the one that owes people an apology. He created another thread which linked this to MSNBC. HE made the link up. He wished for it to be so and so he made it. That post is what has thrown us off.

When I post a TV report and there's no link available, I just link the post to the homepage of FR. That way the section is filled in when posting.

"... I say grab the envelope immediately and compare that anthrax with the anthrax linked to 9-11."

You beat me to it, but that was only because I was in the shower. Are we losing our touch.

I am also surprised that it took 55 posts before someone came up with what should be obvious.

Let me compliment you by stating that if it does turn out to be Anthrax -- and in particular OUR Anthrax -- the anti-Bush forces in the world will insist that we planted it.

Dr. Bob Arnot is embedded with the soldiers whose chopper went down.

I seriously doubt he had time to file his report with MSNBC.com while he was TRYING TO SAVE SOLDIERS LIVES.

Thanks for your kind words, especially well-taken since I think we had some verbal dust ups over the invasion timing in the past. I would take this report with a grain of salt (or anthrax) for now, however. It sounds a bit hokey. I do believe Iraq's complicity in the anthrax threats will be exposed once this thing is over, however. If it turns out to have all been the work of a "right-wing rogue US defense scientist," then I'll retire my screen name and come back as "Nick Kristof Wins." And that's a promise.
