Updated Aug. 7 Anthrax suspect's lawyer: Kappa obsession is not proof
Published: Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
Though investigators have named Bruce Ivins the sole actor in the 2001 anthrax attacks and declared the case solved, Ivins' lawyer emphasized Thursday that there is no evidence proving Ivins' alleged obsession with the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority led him ...

Since there has been a question of 'truth' and the current administration, this appeared June 2002 and I would suggest paying attention to the 4th paragraph:
FBI & BUSH ADMINISTRATION SUED OVER ANTHRAX DOCUMENTS
Judicial Watch Wants to Know Why White House Went on Cipro Beginning September 11th
What Was Known and When?
For Immediate Release

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, said today that it has filed lawsuits against the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), the Center for Disease Control ("CDC"), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases ("USAMRIID") and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for those agencies' failures to produce documents concerning the terrorist anthrax attacks of October 2001, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA").
Judicial Watch has additional anthrax-related FOIA requests pending with the White House and other government agencies that will see legal action in the next two weeks.
Judicial Watch represents hundreds of postal workers from the Brentwood Postal Facility in Washington, DC. Until the Brentwood facility was finally condemned by the CDC, Brentwood postal workers handled all of the mail for Washington, DC, including the "official mail" that contained the anthrax-laden envelopes addressed to Senators Daschle and Leahy. While Capitol Hill workers received prompt medical care, Brentwood postal workers were ordered by USPS officials to continue working in the contaminated facility. Two Brentwood workers died from inhalation anthrax, and dozens more are suffering from a variety of ailments related to the anthrax attacks. A variety of legal actions are being planned for the disparate treatment and reckless endangerment the Brentwood postal workers faced.
In October 2001, press reports revealed that White House staff had been on a regimen of the powerful antibiotic Cipro since the September 11th terrorist attacks. Judicial Watch is aggressively pursuing the disclosure of the facts and the decision for White House staff, and President Bush as well, to begin taking Cipro nearly a month before anthrax was detected on Capitol Hill.
"The American people deserve a full accounting from the Bush administration, the FBI , and other agencies concerning the anthrax attacks. The FBI's investigation seems to have dead-ended, and frankly, that is not very reassuring given their performance with the September 11th hijackers," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. "One doesn't simply start taking a powerful antibiotic for no good reason. The American people are entitled to know what the White House staffers knew nine months ago, " he added.

thanks for the great scoop daily prince. it's nice to know you read the AP too
Plagiarism, I just read basically the exact same article from the AP.
Not only plagiarism but terrible plagiarism. I've never seen so many blended sentences become run-ons.
Is this really plagiarism or did the Prince beat the AP? It says this story was published on Monday August 4th, but the AP story is out Tuesday August 5th. Maybe the AP is "plagiarizing" the prince
Pton 09, the Prince definitely did not beat the AP. I read the AP article last night a couple hours before seeing this pop up here.
The article makes no claim to originality so the charge of plagiarism is unfounded. The Prince's critics need to learn to keep their powder dry.
I agree that "plagiarism" might not be the right word, but is there anything new in this article? It seems like putting up a link to the AP story with a short summary, followed by something more in-depth with original reporting, might have been a better option.
In point of fact the mailbox removed from town by the authorities was NOT at Palmer Square as reported above (and perhaps lifted from the AP story). It was located on Nassau Street at Bank Street, opposite University Place.
basically i just don't the fact that the letters were mailed from princeton has anything to do with the fact that kkg has an office in a building down the street and around the corner from the mailbox. there are also closer mailboxes.
