CNN PRESENTS: DEATH BY MAIL – THE ANTHRAX LETTERS – Airs Saturday 8:00PM – 9:00PM and 11:00PM and Sunday 2:00AM
CNN’s Joe Johns draws upon recently released FBI and Justice Department documents to tell the story of the mysterious 2001 bioterrorism poisonings that killed five people and sickened 17 more. Threatening letters – using jihadist language – were enclosed with anthrax and mailed to media organizations and the U.S. Capitol shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks upon the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Weaving together interviews with people central to the investigation, Johns follows the trail of evidence revealing where authorities missed important clues, wrongly focused on an innocent man, and ultimately built a case against a civilian scientist working in a U.S. Military laboratory. Since the suspect committed suicide and the government’s case was built upon circumstantial evidence, doubts linger about his guilt – ten years after the anthrax attacks.

Anyone who viewed this special on Bullying, probably came away with the same feeling I had. Why do it?
Nothing new emerged except face time for all involved and the kids that were interviewed all seemed to have problems themselves.
AC interviewed a kid who could have doubled for Harry Potter and he wonders why he's picked on.
All he needed was the wond and the
Wizard.
I believe the bullies must be educated in that, they bully because their self esteem is very low (not their confidence, but their self-esteem). They need to bully in order to express themselves perhaps. Don't punish them, that will be a waste of time and may encourage more negative behaviour. Educate them, show them ways to raise their own self-esteem. Anderson, this world needs you. Thank You. H.K,
