The sources for the story
(the FBI doesn’t have computers
or e-mail)
were Ronald Kessler
(“The Secret Life of the FBI”)
two nights ago,
and Henry Miller of the Hoover Institute
(last night).

According to Miller,
Mueller is now installing 1000’s
of Dell Computers
but until recently
communications with the CDC in Atlanta
regarding the Anthrax investigation
were done using Federal Express.

Perhaps this explains
why the Anthrax investigation has moved so slowly

Correction: the title of Kessler's book is:

"The Secret History of the FBI"

Jeepers! Thanks for the heads up!

According to Miller, Mueller is now installing 1000’s of Dell Computers but until recently communications with the CDC in Atlanta regarding the Anthrax investigation were done using Federal Express.

A very rapid installation of networked computers by people with little experience suggests that security vulnerabilities may result.
