Federal employee opens letter containing powder, threat to Bush --Information about threat to president turned over to FBI 10 Mar 2008 (TX) There was no anthrax or any other dangerous substance in an envelope that was opened Monday in an office at the federal building in downtown Fort Worth, officials said. The letter did, however, contain a threat to the president [sic] of the United States, and it also warned that anthrax was enclosed, officials said. Some powder fell out of the letter, but a subsequent field test indicated it was harmless. [See: At least one person treated for anthrax exposure in Fort Worth At least one person was being treated Monday at the Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital emergency room after the patient had claimed to have been exposed to anthrax.]
Petition: Save Spitzer!
AG Mukasey Aware of Spitzer Investigation Gov. Eliot Spitzer's role in a prostitution scandal grew out of a public corruption inquiry triggered by his movement of large amounts of cash from several bank accounts to one that operated by a call-girl ring, a law enforcement official said Tuesday. Spitzer was the initial target of the investigation and was tracked using court-ordered wiretaps that appear to have recorded him arranging for a prostitute to meet him at a Washington hotel in mid-February, the official said... Attorney General Michael Mukasey was made aware of the investigation because the Bush regime was gunning for Eliot Spitzer.

Iraq piling up oil revenue, but U.S. still pays the bills Iraq isn't spending much of its own money, despite soaring oil revenues that are pushing the country toward a massive budget surplus, auditors told Congress today. The expected surplus comes as the U.S. continues to invest billions of dollars in 'rebuilding' Iraq and faces a financial squeeze domestically because of record oil prices.
