Whaddya think? Is Osama behind the recent anthrax incidents (diagnosed cases, boxes of anthrax powder, etc...)?

I dont think it is. I think it is some timothy Mcveigh wannabe, sending this crap out.

I was saying something to that effect. I think it is someone here taking advantage of a dire situation. What better way to give incentive to continue attacking then to create an epidemic. I don't know, just how things have been playing out, it looks to me like an inside job.

i think it's part of the Al-Quida (SP?) network... so bin laden is somewhat involved
but i'm not sure so i don't wanna point any fingers yet

Now it is getting out of hand. They are reporting now that they found Anthrax in Gov. Pataki's New York office. I guess this is what Osama meant by "America will never again know the meaning of safety".:mad:

I just got back form a meeting with the Police departmnet, they talked to us about anthrax, how it is spread what to do if you encounter, what to be on the look out about!

They said some info that was given to them 2day by FBI & CIA the envelopse have posatge from over seas like Africa & middle east.

The packages usually manilla envelopse size are being sent with no return adresses or wrong & misspelled adresses with zip codes wrong not matching states, They said be on the look out for foreighn mail especially if your a person in society with a inpact on society like a CEO of a company or an anchor person like has happened!
Every day common person does not really have to worry unless you have been of high inportance in USA recently!

They also shared & I confirmed with other news agencies that Osama has been recently linked with Asian chemical biologist & they were interogated on what he wanted with them, they said he wanted to make a super drug out of heroin or a fatal viruse to issue on western societies
I read this on foxnews or cnn 2day.

We also had a visit form the local Hazmat crew for California & they explained how anthrax is distributed & how they have seen the actual evidence of the envelopse's that have had the Antrax in it!

I tend to agree w/DVS (as per usual)... I am sure that some terrorist organization has their hand in the pot, but I am not so keen that Osama is necessarily involved. I think that in addition to having more Anthrax introduced into society, that there are more diagnosed cases just because of the panic. There must have been some forms of Anthrax in society before, but went relatively unnoticed since we were then "invincible". Now we've seen our weakness, and we rush to look for more "evil". I don't know... I may just be that neurotic (which means pessimistic, for those who don't know the real meaning)...

I dont think its Osma. I think its just some wierdo who saw this as an oppurtunity to do it.

That first case in florida was the first case of anthrax in 30 years, since the early 70s
