Patriot Act I-Anthrax Attacks connection?

[Brainster]

And, frankly, anthrax just isn't that big a deal. It's easily treated with antibiotics. Yes, I know five people died, but as I recall some of them were very old, with weakened immune systems, and so on. Now, I'm not saying that I want to catch it, but there are far worse diseases that could be used as WMD's.

I think only one was very old--the woman judge in Connecticut was 98. Eleven people got inhalation anthrax; five of those died. Now, in all probability it's not that that bad a disease provided it's recognized. IIRC one of the posters here was assigned a case # in the anthrax attacks (as a possible victim) and was on Cipro.

Interesting. Speaking of Cipro, I found this info in an article written in oct 2001..

At least some White House personnel were given Cipro six weeks ago. White House officials won't discuss who might be receiving the anthrax-treating antibiotic now.

On the night of the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off to the safety of Camp David, and told them it was "a precaution," according to one person directly involved.

I still don´t see any connection from Anthrax to Al Qaeda... I don´t see any conspiracy either... Do you?

Don't you get it? Cheney and Bush were obviously mailing the anthrax letters from their own friggin offices.
