Here we go along, thinking that the National Enquirer is just trash journalism, and now we come to find that it was used to introduce information that was damaging to one party, i.e. the Monica Lewinsky issue. And it was also used to withhold information that would have been damaging to another.

This is so strange. If this was the purpose of the National Enquirer, why were they the target of anthrax back in 2001?
