Reply #135: How does the FBI get away with this?

Dan Rather called it the fear of being 'necklaced' with a lack of patriotism.

"The fear is that you will be neck-laced here, you will have a flaming tyre of
lack of patriotism put around your neck. It's that fear that keeps journalists
from asking the toughest of the tough questions.... And one finds one's self
saying, 'I know the right question but you know what, this is not exactly the
right time to ask it?'"

Of course the fear of an anthrax attack can make people careful too.
As far as I know that newspaper office in Florida is still closed up tight,
with anthrax tracked into every room. Nobody can go in there.

What if that happened to NBC?
