--begin excerpt...my comments are in brackets-- Monday October 8 2:52 PM ET FBI Probes Anthrax, Terror Link By AMANDA RIDDLE, Associated Press Writer BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - The FBI (news - web sites) is investigating the possibility that anthrax bacteria found in two Florida men is a result of terrorism, Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) said Monday. The bacteria killed one of the men Friday. It has since been detected in the nose of a co-worker and on a computer keyboard in the newspaper office where both men worked, health officials said. The co-worker was in stable condition Monday at an unidentified Miami-Dade County hospital, according to health officials. He had been tested for anthrax because he happened to be in a hospital for an unrelated illness.

Those who know about anthrax know that this fits the model of the "anthrax honeymoon," the period of a few days after an initial bad period where the patient seems to be get better. Then it gets much, much worse. In fact, by the time the patient is in the anthrax honeymoon, it's too late. so look for this second patient to be dying soon.] David Pecker, chief executive of the tabloid's publisher, American Media Inc., said the man worked in the mailroom. [Tim Note: The mail room. And spores have been found on a keyboard. Anyone still think the first guy got it out in the wild someplace?] ... Stevens lived about a mile from an air strip where suspected hijacker Mohamed Atta rented planes, said Marian Smith, owner of the flight school, said Monday. Several suspected hijackers also visited and asked questions at a crop-dusting business in Belle Glade, 40 miles from Stevens' home in Lantana. --end excerpt-- A lot of coincidences. Too many. Be interesting if the anthrax spores were mixed in with outgoing copies of The Sun and The National Inquirer! Ignore that fine powder shaking out of the paper as people read their copies at the Waffle House... (Be interesting if it turns out a pressman bagging the newspapers for shipment around the country has ties to the other WTC Jihad warriors. "The FBI has confirmed that Mustafa bin Azolot, a 22-year-old worker in the printing plant, has disappeared from his apartment in Lantana, Fla.") --Tim May
