Everyone, try to explain this one to me! I think the bombing was international and the anthrax was domestic. I think someone was prepared and the international terrorists set them off. Keep in mind when 9/11 happened there were people calling in false alarms. These are people I don't understand. They were keeping emergency personnel from true emergency response at a time of high demand on their time. Just as the NY/DC attacks set off the crank calls I think it also set off someone more dangerous that had the skills to pull it off. If so, that person is still out there and may repeat or expand their effort. Having said all that, explain to me why Americans would make false alarms in so many areas of this country causing hell for emergency workers and civil authorities to say nothing of all Americans? What is a persons motivation to cause additional panic at a time panic is high from a real threat? I have heard nothing about this on talk shows and would like to know why this happened. The anthrax event may have been an attention getter just as the crank calls may have been an attention getter for someone less danerous. Any opinions? :o)
