((As more outbreaks of anthrax are reported, officials say one important fact is now becoming clear.
The spores don't appear to be as high grade as first thought.

It looked to be run of the mill. They're sensitive to all antibiotics.
The FBI says it has responded to 25-hundred suspected anthrax threats across the country, but has only found the deadly bacteria in three locations: Florida, Washington DC and metropolitan New York.
Thousands of people have been tested... only six are actually infected.
Americas new homeland security czar is trying to calm public anxiety.
Tom Ridge/Director Homeland Security:
Vice President Dick Cheney is also trying to reassure an anxious nation.
Out of sight for security reasons-- for weeks-- he traveled to New York Thursday--to see first-hand the devastation caused by the attack on the World Trade Center.
In the Middle East, the US now has a third aircraft carrier-the Roosevelt - flying strikes against Afghanistan.
