I read that drug smuggling into the United States has been on the rise since the Sept. 11 attacks, and it came to mind that perhaps anthrax has been mixed in with cocaine and has entered America in that fashion. Drug dealers go to great lengths to keep their smuggling operations a secret, therefore they may be smuggling anthrax into the United States without knowing it. Isn't cocaine a white powder? Isn't the deadliest form of anthrax inhaled through the nose? You put two and two together and see what you come up with. Ben Smith, Lexington - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
