Stardate 20011017.0723 (On Screen): The biggest unanswered question behind the mailed anthrax letter attacks is who might be behind it. One possibility is that it is the Taliban or some other foreign terrorist group. I don't have any answers, but I'm going to go out on a limb here. I don't think that's it. What I suspect is that we have a lone American nut-case doing it. The reason I think that is because the only politician targeted was Senator Daschle. If the Taliban had been responsible, I believe they would have sent it to the White House or to ranking Republicans; why pick on the most powerful Democrat in Congress, when the Democrats are the minority party in the US government? The one thing I haven't been able to figure out is why anyone would want to send such a thing to American Media, the publisher in Florida. I can't come up with a rational explanation for that for any reasonable source; I'm forced to conclude that the source is unreasonable. It is extremely puzzling.
