RE:"I'm not sure about the specifics of the strains, but they are clearly and obviously not of the same breed. One was ingestible. The other was epidermic."

Not necessarily. They difference was the method of infection.
There are three...in order of most common...
1. Cutaneous...through cuts or sores in the skin
2. Respiratory. Through the nasal passages into the lungs
3. Gastro-intestinal. Ingested from infected food.

The cutaneous is the easiest to head off because it's first phase symtoms are the most visible. A pimple like lesion followed by a black looking sore.

The same strain can enter in any of these methods.

RE:"I wasn't aware that the National Enquirer was in the same building as the Daily Sun, but what makes you so sure that they were the target, when it was the other business that was the victim?"

These are both supermarket tabloids owned by the same company. They hit the parent company.
The Sun had it's anti-Bin Laden stuff too...

At least 11 of the 19 <9/11> terorists were living within an hour of this building...
Mohamed Atta made mutiple trips to local cropdusting airports.

This is no coincidence.

I guess I can't blame you for not knowing this. The media has been blowing it regularly.
