Watchdog seeks probe into USPS anthrax handling
Judicial Watch asks the U.S. attorney for DC to open a criminal investigation into the Postal Service over the Brentwood mail processing center's handling of the October 2001 anthrax attacks. The group says officials knew spores leaked from a Daschle letter but did not warn workers or shut the site, citing cost estimates of 500000 per day to close.
