PHILADELPHIA MAIL-BOMB UPDATE: Reader Alan Swanson writes:

So maybe it is the anthrax guy but the NE Philly pipe bomb is much more likely related to the 19 pipe bombs or look-alikes that have been found in suburban Philadelphia over the last two years. I read about it in the local paper when I was visiting my mom a few months ago and couldn’t believe that it hadn’t gotten any national media exposure. Maybe it’s because nobody has been injured or maybe because it started prior to 9/11. Who knows?

It’s news to me. And, oddly, comforting news. We’ll have to await more information.
