Yes. The CDC also confirmed that spores from a letter received by a pediatrician in Santiago, Chile, were indistinguishable from those accompanying the letters sent to Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.), Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw and the New York Post. washingtonpost.com The isareli embassy in Santiago also got a suspicious letter, but the tests aren't back yet. emol.com Who knows how many other letters were mailed? Only reason Dr Banfi found out is that he was suspicious of the return address, in Miami, and dropped the letter into a sealed plastic bag for testing. Jethro sure gets around.

Good question, & I don't know. I've been browsing the freep site. Several on there cited news reports (t.v. & one article) that Lundgren brought a suspicious letter in a plastic envelope to her doc. Then those reports were dropped. I have no idea if they were just bad reporting/rumors or true. Its too bizarre. There was an analysis on there also of the letters that pointed out a very interesting pun I'd missed. "4th grade." Maybe it was an allusion to the two later letters being a finer grade of anthrax. Makes sense & says the guy has a warped but extremely fine intelligence--blending Greenbrook School which only goes to the 4th grade & is near Hamilton/Trenton, with a reference to this being a finer grade of anthrax. And laughing at us cuz we still can't find him in spite of the clues. WHoever he is, if he's preparing more, he is where he was before--i.e. at some hidden lab, and probably all by himself so as not to infect anybody else (friends, fellow terrorists, whatever)
