My apologies -- I did not see your earlier story --
But that said, many other readers did not, so can I suggest that you note everytime you quote an ABC statement about the oh-so-exotic Bensonite that we are talking about Kitty-Litter, but with an -ite on the name that makes it sound to the scientifically ignorant a bit like "dynamite." Hell I would insert [Kitty-Litter] in square brackets everytime the exotic sounding Bensonite is mentioned in one of the quotes so that the reader can get an idea of how absurd anyone falling for this so-called story, or hyping it was.
And by the way, some of the ABC stuff you quoted sounds really absurd when you sub Kitty Litter for Bensonite, roll over laughing silly in fact -- try:
ROSS: "Peter, from three well-placed but separate sources tonight, ABC News has been told that initial tests on the anthrax sent to Senator Daschle have found a telltale chemical additive whose name means a lot to weapons experts. It is called [Kitty-Litter.]"
OK Sexist joke, but are weapons experts typically single women living in small apartments with lots of cats?
And lets not mention "silica."
