Reporters Ordered to Testify About Government Sources."
... "Five reporters must testify about their law enforcement sources in
a former Army scientist’s lawsuit against the Justice Department, a federal
judge in Washington ruled yesterday." ... "The suit, filed by Steven J.
Hatfill, a bioterrorism expert, contends that the government violated the
federal Privacy Act by providing journalists with information about him
in the F.B.I.’s investigation of the deadly anthrax mailings in 2001."
... "“Denying civil litigants access to the identity of government officials
who have allegedly leaked information to reporters would effectively leave
Privacy Act violations immune from judicial condemnation,” Judge Walton
wrote, “while leaving potential leakers virtually undeterred from engaging
in such misbehavior.”" -By Adam Liptak

- "Anthrax
scare a false alarm." ... "The working theory is
that workers at the initial laboratory [that tested for anthrax], Commonwealth
Biotechnology Inc. in Richmond, Va., contaminated the sample taken from
the Pentagon with actual anthrax that is kept on hand for comparison purposes,
a Homeland Security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said
Wednesday. That would explain why the sample came back as positive for
anthrax." ... "Robert Harris, chief operating officer of Commonwealth Biotechnology,
said it is premature to conclude that there was contamination at his lab
and said testing is ongoing." -AP

- "Anthrax
Scare Closes 3 Military Mailrooms." ... "Hundreds
of postal workers were offered antibiotics Tuesday and many were taking
them after initial tests detected anthrax in a pair of military mailrooms.
Nobody reported symptoms of the disease as officials awaited results of
further testing." ... "Three mail facilities were closed —
two that serve the Pentagon and one in Washington that handles mail on
its way to the military as well as all federal offices in the area." -By
Laura Meckler -AP via -SFGate.com
20050314
-
- "Signs
of anthrax detected at two Pentagon mailrooms." ...
"Sensors at two military mail facilities in the Washington area detected
signs of anthrax on two pieces of mail Monday, but Pentagon officials said
the mail had already been irradiated, rendering any anthrax inert."
-AP via -USATODAY
-
"Hamilton,
N.J., post office reopens after anthrax attacks."
... "The New Jersey post office that handled anthrax-laced letters reopened
Monday morning, nearly 3 1/2 years after the deadly mailings that further
heightened the nation's fears in the weeks after the Sept. 11 terror attacks."
... "The post office was closed on Oct. 18, 2001, after NBC anchor Tom
Brokaw, two U.S. senators and the offices of the New York Post received
anthrax-laced letters that went through Hamilton."

- "Tenet
Warns of Al Qaeda Threat: CIA Chief Says Group Is
Fragmented but Still Dangerous." ... "Despite U.S. success in attacking
al Qaeda's hierarchy, the network is still capable of "catastrophic attacks"
against the United States, and acquiring chemical, biological and radiological
weapons remains a "religious obligation" in Osama bin Laden's eyes, CIA
Director George J. Tenet told the Senate intelligence committee yesterday."
... "The most immediate threats include the possibility of "poison attacks"
and al Qaeda's ongoing effort to produce anthrax material, he said: "Extremists
have widely disseminated assembly instructions for an improvised chemical
weapon using common materials that could cause a large number of casualties
in a crowded, enclosed area."" (1, 2)

- "Judge
Halts Military's Required Anthrax Shots." ... "A
federal district judge ruled Monday that the Defense Department could not
compel members of the armed forces to be vaccinated against anthrax without
their consent." ... "The judge, Emmet G. Sullivan, issued a preliminary
injunction that prohibits Pentagon officials from "inoculating service
members without their consent."" ... "The judge found that the vaccine
in question, intended to protect military personnel against the potentially
deadly effects of inhaled anthrax, was "an investigational drug," being
used for an unapproved purpose." -By Robert Pear with
contributions by Thom Shanker -NYTimes

"[Photo]Copiers
Cited in Fla. Anthrax Spread." ... "Investigators
believe the microscopic spores spread from the first-floor mail room where
the letter was opened and onto reams of copy paper stored there, the source
said; the spores then spread into the air by fans inside the [photo copy]
machines loaded with the copy paper." -AP

creates antibody to anthrax: Research could
thwart terrorists." ... "Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin
who study anthrax have developed a potential life-saving countermeasure:
a genetically engineered antibody that binds to one of the anthrax toxins,
preventing it from invading the body's immune cells." ... "Further tests
will be conducted in monkeys, using a human antibody engineered to stick
to the toxin, under conditions more closely mimicking the way anthrax is
contracted. Researchers said it will take several years before a drug for
humans can be made." -By Leigh Hopper

- "The Promise of
a Cure: Researchers develop antibodies that
may stop anthrax threat." ... "In a series of laboratory tests conducted
