While the Anthrax Perpetrator Remains at Large

(Sorta like Osama bin Forgotten)

This from CNN:

Two Pentagon mail facilities were closed and nearly 300 workers tested for exposure to anthrax after sensors detected the bacteria in mail at the buildings, Pentagon officials said Monday.

Follow-up field tests done Monday came back negative for anthrax, but samples were sent to the U.S. Army Research Institute for Infectious Diseases in Fort Detrick, Maryland, for further tests to confirm or rule out the existence of the bacteria.

Test results are expected back within 48 to 72 hours, Pentagon officials said.

My guess is Mr. Bush's or Mr. Rumsfeld's poll numbers dropped OR they wanted to take the press' mind off the fake news stories.

Mind you, all these scares have turned out to be nothing since 2001 but it sure makes people nervous.
