Interesting that this article is buried within their site. I'd think this would be a top story with Anthrax all over the place.

Yep I saw this article on CNN, although they seem to be pretty sure that the substance was not Anthrax:

Buckley said officials suspect the sprayed substance was sodium chlorate, used to defoliate cotton crops. Buckley said that sodium chlorate is similar to salt water and is not dangerous.

Here's the story:
