White powder letters spook Washington as anthrax attack recalled/ Int'l Business Times

Curious timing of anthrax letters arriving at DC schools.  Might they have been sent in support of the child vaccine trial?  From IBT:
Nearly 30 schools in Washington DC have received envelopes containing a mysterious white powder and with ‘AL AQEDA-FBI’ written on them, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Thursday. Preliminary testing has proved that the powder was not harmful, the FBI has said.

from Shawn Siegel:

Not only *might* the anthrax letters been in "support" of the child vaccine trial, it's not likely there was any other reason. After all, it follows the consistent, established pattern of problem; reaction; solution.

Out from the shadow, government!

As to timing, the same letters were sent last year also to some DC public schools. They are part of a broader investigation and do not have a recent origin.
