illumined horizon

This article has pretty much the same information, but here's my pet theory on what I think the anthrax attacks were all about: The anthrax attacks occurred prior to the passing of the Patriot Act. Anthrax was sent to Tom Daschle, who was then Senate majority leader, and Pat Leahy, who was then chairman of the Judiciary Committee. A Dr. Francis Boyle believes it was an FBI coverup. It's interesting it was Democrats that received the anthrax. Seems to have been a threat to go along with the Bush agenda or else.
