Shouldn't the Times' editors be asking, "Why do they hate us?"

It isn't hard for the liberal mind to leap to Conservative perp becauuse every one knows how evil Conservatives are. Using the same logic we can safely conclude that the Slimes from the Times work for a Al Khyda front organization.

I think that this is hardly out on line in light of the fact that the letter that containied the poweder also had a copy of their recent editorial defending the Times' recent news coverage. (Of course, it would also have been helpful to include that little tid bit in the story.)

Come on, Len. You're being intentionally obtuse. Lot's of things happened in recent weeks and not all of those things are listed.

It was just a mistake. The guy who normally delivers their coke had car problems so he sent it by mail. As sometimes happens when too many things go better with coke, he forgot to call to tell them and it caused a panic.

The Paks would've found some *real* anthrax. OT, moving to Egyptian intel, did I post this bit here from Suskind's book? The FBI has been delivered what's purported (falsely, it turns out) to be Zawahiri's head (in a box, like Gwyneth Paltrow's in Seven), but needs to perform DNA analysis: The CIA was brought in, and moved into action. Unmatched DNA can determine sex and age, but for specific identity they needed a DNA match from a family member. Zawahiri's brother, Mohammed, was in custody in Cairo. A CIA operations manager called a chief at Egyptian intelligence. He explained the situation. The Egyptian listened. "No problem," he said. "We'll get his brother, cut off his arm, and send it over." "No ... Christ!" the agency man stammered. "No, just a vial of blood. A vial of blood's all we need." The Egyptian sighed. "Fine. Whatever you want. You want blood? We'll send blood."

But the organization involved in such an attack clearly points to this being a Pakistani intelligence operation.
