Unfortunately I believe that we are limited in what we can focus on. I think that if we proceed with the partisan sideshow of prosecuting Bush admin. officials, healthcare will get lost in the brouhaha.

Ivins, the alledged mad scientist proported to be the Anthrax mail bomber is in the news again today through the NYTs. Apparently, Ivins wanted himself cremated pretty badly. The stipulation included in his Will for cremation is interesting to say the least.
Under the category of investigative journalism, there are some loose ends on this one for me. Main loose end deals with a statement by our current POTUS in which he described the Anthrax letter attacks post 09/11 as a "second wave" to 09/11 terrorism attacks. Make no mistake, bio-weapons incite fear (real or imagined) like dirty suitcase bomb scenarios and let us include financial effects like on Wallstreet witnessed by false warnings given by Pentagon through faulty spore sensors not too long ago.
Perhaps there will be a second wave of discovery through Congress this coming week on the anniversary date of mass murder by mail. Oh yes, the actual date of mailing is subject to interpretation too, but we knew that right ?
Risking the perils of blogging again, by chance, does Ivins want his ash remains scattered by crop duster ? Inquirying minds want to know.
You go Woodward et al...
