Michelle Malkin details a case of Anthrax in New York City, but no need for anyone to hit the panic button--all indications are that it's a 'standard' case contracted from an animal. She does make reference to our forgotten attack, which might produce some interesting new visibility to the story based on her large readership.
If you want some real chills, grab yourself a copy of "The Continuing Storm" by Avigdor Haselkorn. The first chapter goes into specific detail about the effects of anthrax and botulinum toxins on the human body. Then keep in mind Saddam had this stuff, and we only recently heard tapes purported to be from his office discussing these very products.
UPDATE
Michelle wasn't the only outlet covering this story, the Times, CNN and others are hitting it, too. Officials are busy reassuring everyone, but really--what else are they gonna say at this point? They won't know if there's an outbreak til later. Still seems most likely the man picked it up naturally.
