It's about anthrax. Remember, all 3 major networks have been exposed. CNN and Fox mat see themselves as next.

When I heard it I wondered if it was written by a psychologist with a knowledge of the Arab mind. It had a lot of not very AMerican phraseology and used the same catch phrases that bin Laden used with us-- "helicopters raining bombs"-"you will die"

ALSO-- what is all this sudden fixation on smallpox? Is there a new threat I missed? Or was the anthrax story getting old? (How many times can Daschle give a press conference after all)
Really, it seemed terribly alarmist to me telling us all how our old vaccinations are no longer good but there's not many new ones. And how it's MUCH scarier than anthrax. ANd if you get it, you have to just endure it-- and hope you survive.
And only 30% survive.
And it would be so easy for a "martyr" to self-infect and then wander through an airport.
Really, I am getting madder and madder at all this.
