Possible anthrax at White House mail area

[Pert_UK]

"WASHINGTON (AP) — A substance that authorities say might be anthrax was detected at the military facility that processes White House mail, the Navy and Homeland Security Department said Thursday.

Equipment that routinely monitors the air at the Naval Automated Processing Facility in the District of Columbia indicated Wednesday the presence of "small amounts of biological pathogens, possibly anthrax," said Rachael Sunbarger, a Homeland Security spokeswoman.

After the initial field test, eight air samples were sent to Fort Detrick, Md., for testing, according to Lt. Cmdr. Edward Zeigler, spokesman for the Naval District of Washington. One sample tested positive for anthrax and seven tested negative, he said"

2. The Rovian technique strikes again

Rally around the flag, another threat has hit us. I wonder which department of the Whitewash House gets this mail ...

Pardon my cynicism.

6. The humanizing of George

The most protected man on the planet has to be seen just like the rest of us, vulnerable. The next few months will be the humble human George...

17. "Next months" ?...........is more like only the next day!!!

Humbleness is not the greatest attribute in this man!!!

7. White powdery substance in the White House?

Who'd a thunk?

I'm guessing not anthrax, since it doesn't give a good high, and since there aren't any National Enquirer editors who published pictures of Bush's daughters there.

With the way this article is written, you'd think the plane that flew into the pentagon was the source of the anthrax. Can't have people thinking that Barney Fashcroft has failed to catch or even find any leads on the person responsible...
