I don't know if the TV media is reporting this or not. It was released late Friday so maybe their plate was full with weekend programming. It seems important though..
Authorities say they have pinpointed the New Jersey
post office sorting box from which anthrax-bearing
letters were sent, advancing their investigation even as
two more people were found to have the skin form of
the disease.
Tom Ridge, chief of homeland security, disclosed the
discovery of the mailbox Friday but provided no details.
Determining which sorting box the letters were in may
give authorities hints as to where the letters were sent
from.
Ridge said anthrax strains that have
been found in Florida, New York and
Washington are " indistinguishable" from
each other and may have been from the
same batch.

CNN online must have carried this story, because my husband mentioned it late last night. We didn't watch any local news on TV yesterday, and missed most of the National news as well except for CNN and MSNBC online.
It will be very interesting to see who has been behind these letters.

I heard that too. I still think it's coming from some home-grown terrorist wannabe, which makes me wonder how much more of a threat the Bin Laden group is.
Zazzie - Are you finally able to get the show? (It's the best thing on TV don't you think?)

CTV plays it on Sunday and Monday--but I'm not sure what season I'm watching. Tony's nephew just got shot and is on a respirator.
But--hey, maybe it is time to call in the Wise Guys to take care of these yahoos. No forms to fill out---no warrants--
