Anthrax: Profile of A Bio-Warrior and What the FBI May Have Missed
Mitchell, great catch! You too should forward your tip.
The logic and perseverence of the people on this forum never ceases to amaze me. Nice nice work, both of you!

They may have been made in Iraq – they may have been made here
Duhhhhh...... they may have been made in Russia – they may have been made in Iran
He’s been to the doctor’s office at 1542 Kuser Road in Trenton NJ. While there he accidentally infected the accountant next door at Civale Silvestri & Alfieri CPA, 1540 Kuser Road.
Duhhhh..... how did he do that? How could he infect someone next door but no one at 1542 Kuser Road?
The perp may be from Pakistan
Duhhh.... or, he may not be from Pakistan.
He may be dead or missing.

Good Morning America (7:00 AM ET) - ABC
November 12, 2001 Monday
HEADLINE: Dr. Jerry Weisfogel thinks he may have been the first person infected with anthrax, even before September 11th
ANCHORS: DIANE SAWYER; CHARLES GIBSON; ANTONIO MORA
REPORTERS: BRIAN ROSS
DIANE SAWYER, co-host:
Let's turn now to the last outsider we know of to see Osama bin Laden.
CHARLES GIBSON, co-host: Well, actually, Diane, before we get to that we're going to look at the anthrax investigation. ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross here. There is word new trace amounts of anthrax have been found in five more Senate offices. Brian has the latest on the investigation. And there is a twist in this investigation now. A doctor in New Jersey who says he may have been the first to con--to contract anthrax disease, and he may have gotten it before September 11th.BRIAN ROSS reporting: That's right, Charlie. It's an intriguing story. A New Jersey doctor, a cardiologist by the name of Dr. Jerry Weisfogel, who wonders if he might have been the first person infected with anthrax. And what makes the story so potentially significant is that his symptoms appeared a week before the September 11th attacks. All the others were infected by letters that weren't postmarked until September 18th or October 8th. At the time, he had a sore with a black scab followed by what was diagnosed in a hospital as meningitis. But despite repeated efforts to tell the government he may have had a brush with the anthrax terrorists, Dr. Weisfogel says the government has all but ignored his case.
(VO) Dr. Weisfogel works in the town of Kendall Park, right next to Franklin Park, found on the return address of the Daschle letter. There's no Greendale School, but there is a Greenbrook School in Dr. Weisfogel's town, and it only goes to the fourth grade.
Dr. JERRY WEISFOGEL: It obviously made me think that--that there may have been some local connection between where my office is, between what I had , and whoever the perpetrators of the anthrax mailings is.
ROSS: (VO) But, to his amazement, Dr. Weisfogel says he had a hard time getting the Centers for Disease Control to get interested in his case. They told him his case appeared too early to be connected.
(OC) Did you say to them, 'Perhaps, I was the first case'?
Dr. WEISFOGEL: That's exactly what I said. I said, 'You have case one and case two, or cluster one and cluster two. How do you know there was not a cluster zero?'
ROSS: (VO) Dr. Weisfogel says he diagnosed his black scab as a spider bite and now wonders if this is the same common misdiagnosis in other anthrax cases. What's more, he wonders if the bioterrorists might have been in his office.
Dr. WEISFOGEL: Have I come across patients from countries who might be doing this? Yes.
ROSS: You've treated people like that?
Dr. WEISFOGEL: Yes.
ROSS: In this time frame?
Dr. WEISFOGEL: Yes. But there's no proof that any of them have had any connection.
ROSS: But what you're talking about is a possible lead.
Dr. WEISFOGEL: It's a possible lead.
ROSS: And this is a case with almost no other leads, according to the attorney general and the head of the FBI. Yet, Dr. Weisfogel wonders why no one is interested in his case. Shortly after the Centers for Disease Control learned that he had talked with GOOD MORNING AMERICA, they then told him they had interest in the case and would now test his blood for antibodies, but Charlie, he still has not been interviewed by the FBI about any of the information which he thinks could be very relevant.
GIBSON: And we don't know the results of those tests yet as to...
ROSS: They told him it could be weeks. There's no rush on this at all. It's surprising.
GIBSON: So the intriguing possibility that he may have actually encountered the person who spread the anthrax.
ROSS: That's what he's wondering. He doesn't know. He'd like to be tested to find out. He's geographically in the area that could be important.
GIBSON: Sure. All right, Brian Ross, thanks very much.
ROLFOL!
Hooked on phonics. I hear it does wonders for stuff like this.
