  As to the Zeitgeist if the incident, I offer something from that guy Suskind in a 2004 New York Times Magazine article..

  "The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” ...

  Hey, no argument from me that the administration would "create reality" by scaring the population to death. Many even think we do not know the whole story about what happened on 9-11.

  My point is that if they were "creating reality" they would use real anthrax. We have it; and we have intelligence officers that would use it without hesitation. I have no illusions that government operatives give a damn about morality or law. I once worked with a fellow who was an army grunt that was marched out to watch a nuclear test --- he later realized he had been a guinea pig.

  I just can't see faux anthrax when so much of the real stuff was being shipped all over the damn country Fedex. Hell, it is sounding like all a third world country needed to do to get in the bio-warfare business was to intercept a few packages! Why have an expensive program?
