“Strange things happened on Oct. 15 when U.S. Army experts gathered around a microscope in a specially sealed room to examine the anthrax spores that had been mailed to Sen. Thomas A. Daschle: The tiny spores, each one less than one-twentieth the diameter of a human hair, kept leaping off the glass microscope slide as though by magic, then wafting away like weightless wisps of cigarette smoke….
Such are the problems that Army and FBI investigators face as they begin their analysis of a similar letter sent to Sen. Patrick J. Leahy -- an investigation slated
to begin today or tomorrow with the meticulously orchestrated opening of the letter and examination of its contents at a military lab at Fort Detrick in Maryland. The letter -- discovered Nov. 16 in a barrel of
unopened congressional mail and leaking anthrax spores ‘like a sieve,’ according to an Army scientist -- stands today as the best potential source of clues in the unyielding mystery of this fall's bioterrorist
attacks.”
