Anthrax Redux

After playing some games I read these articles from a recent issue of Wired on the Anthrax attacks and Investigation. Interesting stuff.

This is the main long article, Anthrax Redux: Did the Feds Nab the Wrong Guy?.

This short side article I found pretty amazing. Postage Stamps Delivered Anthrax Suspect to FBI. "In December, 2006, U.S. Postal Inspection Service agent Tom Dellafera traveled to MeadWestvaco’s Altoona, Pennsylvania, production plant, and ordered a print run of a half-million of the so-called “Federal Eagle” envelopes. By comparing the microscopic differences in these blue eagle stamps to those in the original envelopes, Dellafera’s team was able to point to the part of the press run that produced the envelopes used by the anthrax mailer."

And there was this reminder, Did the Anthrax Attacks Kick-Start the Iraq War?.
