Coincidence?? Does this seem like a coincidence?? Will someone tell me that there is no coincidence here? This isn't a coincidence.

"You'll love these apartments.... why yes... my husband? He's the editor for American Media Incorporated....why are you laughing? God is what? Great? Why yes I suppose he is... stop laughing..."

Most police investigators I know have a very dim view of coincidence, even on their best day.

And yes, I do know some police detectives. Most are from the Washington DC police force.

I know that there are some people on this forum who always accuse people of "hysteria" on subjects like this. Now, I am not hysterical and I am bright enough to know that the odds of my catching anthrax are slim to none at best.

My beef is this constant, "no coincidence" stuff coming out of the government. Surely they could be honest with us without setting off hysteria. Now let's see, we haven't seen a single case of anthrax in this country for over 25 years; we are attacked on 9-11, we suddenly have 7 or 8 cases of anthrax from a single company/building; the wife of the owner of one of the media outlets in that same building rents to a couple of the turds who carried out 9-11. Right, no coincidence.

I know that a lot of the elites in government think differently; but, the American people are not morons. And, we can handle the truth.

I can handle the truth quite well. It is lies that I cannot abide.

Same here. If they don't have the smoking gun, it's one thing. It really ticks me off that there seems to be an attempt to say that the Anthrax doesn't have any connection to Bin Laden. There is a big difference between absense of proof and proof of absence.

Let's remember who was hit. NBC, Microsoft, and AMI. A random strike at media targets wouldn't have that distribution. If NBC, why not ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN? If AMI, why not Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times?

If this was a "random" attack, designed to produce terror, if they went after the media, the big guy to go after for them would be CNN. CNN is "american media" to most people throughout the world and the middle east. Saddam Hussein watched CNN every day during the gulf war.

So, we have NBC, AMI, and Microsoft. NY Times, CNN, ABC would have been better targets than AMI. Who honestly thinks of AMI as a major media source?

So, Atta rented a private plane 4 times from the airport a few miles from the AMI building, 11 terrorists lived within 10 miles. 2 of them used the Editor of AMI's wife as a real estate agent. AMI is attacked first before NY Times, CNN, ABC, LA Times which are higher profile targets.

COINCIDENCE MY FOOT!

I suppose you're leaving out "our" media sources on purpose? ;-)

NY Times DID receive one of these letters. Not only did I read about it right here on FR (last Fri. I think), but I also heard the news conference where this was mentioned (Giuliani, Andrew Lack of NBC, and other law enforcement personnel).

In regards to AMI, they reach a certain, ahem, crowd of readers who are NOT gonna spend time or money to read the NY Times because it, well, is totally above them, intellectually. PLUS, the Enquirer ran a scathing article talking about Bin Laden on a personal level that apparently could have angered or enraged him. Yes, I'd say AMI is a DEFINITE target.
