[The Great Satan]

Someone else on another forum came up with the "All" soap powder idea, when I brought up the quotes about Atta's thing for riddles. I don't know the person who thought of it, but it's a very intriguing idea. The empty detergent carton is the most puzzling item in the contents of the J-Lo letter, and this offers a possible answer.

There is another more practical reason for the detergent carton.
In this case the terrorists probably wanted to kill people.
The detergent box was added to mislead the recipients
as to the real nature of the powder enclosed.

The person who came up with the idea is the former Freeper "Right to Defend"
who has a Ph.D. in Physics,
and used to contribute a lot of extremely useful information
to the Free Republic anthrax threads
which are by far the best on the Web.

"Right to Defend" was banned and no reasons for this ever were given to him.
